Wellbeing Week 2023We celebrated Wellbeing Week from the 24th- 28th of April. We took part in different activities each day such as mindful colouring, yoga, walking outside, baking and dancing! We really enjoyed this week and felt calm and relaxed after. We also took a walk down to King John's Bridge. It is the oldest stone bridge in Ireland! The children enjoyed sketching the bridge in their copies. Here are some pictures from Esker loves books. We spent lots of time reading. We loved having our parents in the classroom reading books in Polish, Urdu, Romanian and English. We had our assembly performance in January. We sang a song called Gung hay fat choy for the Lunar New Year. Pancake Tuesday brought some yummy pancakes to our classroom too!
We were absolutely delighted to see snow on our yard in December in here in Esker. We wrapped up in hats, scarves and gloves and had a fabulous time making snowballs and snowmen in the yard! Science experiments, junk art, iPads, construction and drama... we are always busy!Culture DayOn Friday the 18th of November, we celebrated the different cultures here in Esker ETNS. The children wore traditional outfits and colours to celebrate their countries. Take a look below to see what countries and cultures we celebrated in First Green!
We had so much fun today dressing up in different costumes and fancy dress before the Halloween break. Our theme this year was 'Heroes and Villains' and the children and staff did not disappoint! We spent the day looking at the different costumes, going on a Halloween parade and having a Halloween disco and movie in our classroom. Look at our cool outfits! ![]() First Class Green enjoying the Halloween parade: Happy Halloween!
The children have had a busy few weeks getting settled here in first class. We are enjoying our new classroom and our new friends who have joined our class. We have been busy very everyday in our classroom. We have spent the last few weeks learning about Autumn, Harvest and growth. The children have enjoyed exploring these topics during aistear. Look at some of our pictures below! Keeping active and enjoying the outdoors!First Class Green have been enjoying keeping active everyday in school.

Thank you to all of the parents for logging into our Winter Show today, we hope you enjoyed it! Please enjoy sharing this with your families! It's been a busy month in Senior Infants Green. We met out new teacher, Emma and we are back with all of our friends from Junior Infants! Take a look at some of our activities over the last few weeks. We start every day with Maths centres. Then get stuck into playtime! This month we have been learning all about the farm. We have been writing about what we plan to do every day and use lots of farm words. We visit the farm shop & cafe, dig for animals in the sandpit, create our own farm in small world and build impressive machines and houses for the farm in the lego area. We have even learnt how the farmer harvests his crops - and have gotten to see wheat and barley up close! We have even squeezed in a little time for some Art! Look at how creative we are! We have been lucky to spend lots of time outdoors in the sunshine, long may it last! We stay active even when the sun won't shine - and we multitask doing an RTE 10@10 as Gaeilge! To stay up to date on all that we do in school follow us on Twitter @EmmaDEsker Senior Infants Green.
We were the star performers at our Learn Together Assembly on Friday! We have been learning all about Minibeasts for the last six weeks, from Frogs to Butterflies and everything in between! Did you know that Caterpillars only have 6 legs? Bees communicate by dancing with each other and a Queen Bee can live for nearly 5 years! We have planted sunflowers to help save the Bees too! Take a look at our performance!
