Going Shopping!

Jessica's Senior Infants were very busy this fortnight making shopping lists and going to the Supermarket.They also designed and built a giant supermarket with signs for each area of the shop, very impressive. The funniest part of this two weeks of Aistear was the taste testing and learning about our five senses but I think the pictures of this speak for itself - take a look and see all the different foods every child tasted! 😀
