Big Seed Sow Week- Earth Hour

A great big THANK YOU to all the parents and grandparents who donated 60 min (or more) for Earth Hour and joined us this week in Forest School for our Big Seed Sow Week. We were able to plant many trees, bulbs and seeds and we can’t wait to see them bloom!

Jo Jingles

The children enjoyed an Easter session of music with Jo Jingles. We practiced keeping a nice steady bit with the castanets and enjoyed jumping like bunnies and doing team work with the eggs!

'A Place to Wonder' Visit

We had a visit from ‘A Place to Wonder’ today which gave us some time to relax through story telling and yoga. It was a great experience and everyone enjoyed having some time to calm down in the middle of a busy day. We were great at doing the breathing exercises and even had another practice in the quiet room before lunch.

NI Rescue Service visit

A very exciting visit today from the firefighters! They talked to us about what they do and how they help people.

They asked us to check our smoke alarms at home and some of our children were able to tell them where their alarm was at home.

Planting in Forest School

Thanks to our Pollinator Grant from the LiveHereLoveHere project, we have been able to purchase some new planters, plants, trees and soil to enhance school grounds. The children have begun the planting process during the Forest School sessions and were able to talk about what the plants need to grow.

Shared Education Event - Sorting and Matching

As part of our Shared Education Partnership we were able to visit our friends from St. Bernard’s Preschool before the half-term break. We met at the Parish Centre for a Sorting and Matching Activity. The children really enjoyed it and demonstrated good early mathematical skills.
