This month the Junior Infants are learning all about construction as their learning topic. From builders to architects, designing, constructing, demolishing and extending they have been very busy. We are learning all about materials and their properties and all the different people involved in building. We are very busy in our room designing and building all sorts of creations. STEM is certainly in abundance in the Junior Infant room!

We are so lucky in Junior Infants to have an incredible architect among our parents who was happy to come in and talk to us about her job. Alice kindly gave up her morning to come and speak to the children and answer all their questions. She showed us photos of some of the really cool buildings she has designed including a school and a 40 storey sky scraper! She showed us some very detailed drawings of buildings which helped us to see the process involved in designing a new building and even left us some special paper that we can use to design our buildings. A huge thank you to Alice for sharing her expertise with us - We have no doubt you have inspired the children to become architects when they are bigger!
