We are a class of 27 junior infants in St. Fiacc’s NS, Graiguecullen, Carlow. My name is Ms. Lewis( formally Ms. Normington, marriage stepped in and made me magically change my name!)

I love getting my class out and about as we have a massive play area and grounds. Plus the children love it. I had originally promised our “Winter walk” for the Wednesday but I had forgotten my camera and warm coat, I was bugged by one 5 year old about the promise I had made!!I promptly brought my coat and camera in on Thursday!

Happy New Year. My school recently purchased a piece of software called Literacy Activity Builder. You can create wordsearches, cloze tests and other literacy-based games for your classroom. It’s really easy to use. I made a wordsearch puzzle where you must find all the months of the year. It took me about 30 seconds from start to finish. Try it out with your class and let me know what you think.
