Sr Infants - Jobs

Key words: nurse, doctor, dentist, shopkeeper, firefighter, police officer (Garda), postman, builder, teacher, waiter

We learned the jobs words with Bear.

In pairs, we made a sentence with our word rods. Lucía helped us.

We wrote some of our sentences by ourselves. Look at our lovely writing!

Jr Infants: Oh help! Oh no! It's a gruffalo!

But who is this creature with terrible claws

And terrible teeth in his terrible jaws?

He has knobbly knees, and turned-out toes,

And a poisonous wart at the end of his nose.

His eyes are orange, his tongue is black,

He has purple prickles all over his back.

Oh help! Oh no! It's a gruffalo!

2nd: Kadija's Poem

Rain

'Splash!' said the raindrop as it fell on my hat
'Splash!' said another as it ran down my back
'You are very rude!' I said as I looked up to the sky
Then another raindrop splashed right in my eye

Sr Infants - The Gruffalo's child: The Big Bad Mouse

The big bad mouse is terribly strong

And his scaly tail is terribly long

His eyes are like pools of terrible fire 

And his terrible whiskers are tougher than wire

Welcome to our Spanish Teachers!

I have the pleasure of coordinating the stay of two wonderful trainee teachers from Cordoba, Spain who are with us at present as part of a European Project. They introduce themselves below. I would like to extend a warm welcome to them both. They have been such a nice addition to our school this week.

Hello everyone!

My name is Lucía, I am twenty years old and I come from Spain. For the next five weeks, I will be in St Catherine’s School doing my teacher training for the university. As this is the last year of my degree, I look forward getting some experience in your school. I can see that it will not be difficult at all, we have already been welcomed with open arms and I am really glad about it. I hope you will enjoy our time here as much as we are sure we will ourselves.

Thank you for everything!

Hello to everyone!

My name is Begoña, I´m from the south of Spain. I have chosen to do my teaching practice here in Ireland because this year, hopefully, I will finish my degree and I will become an English Teacher in Spain.  So what better place to do my training than here? I really like St. Catherine's school because all the teachers are extraordinary and also the children are fantastic. I´m really enjoying my time here and I hope to learn a lot from all the teachers and from the children too. It is a wonderful opportunity!
