The children all looked fantastic for Halloween. It was a very spooky classroom!!

We had great fun mixing colours, cutting and sticking to create our pumpkins and spiders for Halloween.

Junior and Senior Infants are really enjoying gymnastics!

We are participating in short, PDST visualisations each day in class. It is a calming and  relaxing way to end our busy school day! We are mindful and considerate of others during this time as we are all entitled to some quiet time! Keep up the great work!

So far we have participated in:

• "Sport Visualisation"
• "Seaside Visualisation"
• "Being Happy"
• "Listen to the Wind"
• "The Parachute"
• "The Treehouse"
• "The Sleepy Train"
• "Sound of the Countryside"
• "Decisions have Consequences"

Dear parents and guardians,

Please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher by email if you have any questions about school work or are having difficulties with topics being covered.
We will all do our best to help and can assign extra resources if needed.
Please feel free to email photographs of your children's completed project work or work you would like feedback on to your class teacher. We are excited to begin using the SEESAW app soon which will make uploading photos and getting feedback much easier.

Remember you are not alone and we are here to help!
We hope to see you all soon.
Warm Regards,
