In March, we have been busy scientists preparing for our Science Fair. We had so much fun creating our amazing lava lamps.
We also made balloon powered cars by using some recycled materials. We had great fun racing them.
Below are the items children need to bring with them every week to their swimming lessons.
The first lesson will comprise of the children being grouped into levels of ability. Your child will be able to tell you what group they are in after the first class.
Thank You,

In February, we said goodbye to Róisín who had been teaching us for the month of January. We had lots of fun making chocolate rice krispy buns on her last day.
We really enjoyed friendship week, where we played co-operative games, made friendship bracelets and added to our kindness bucket. Everyone really enjoyed having a ‘secret friend’.
As part of Spring, we planted some cress, pea and spinach seeds and made sure to give our plant pots enough light and water. We were surprised at how easy it was to grow our own food and some of us might even attempt to grow more at home.
