🚌School Tour To Clonfert Pet Farm🚌
We had a lovely day yesterday on our school tour.  The weather was just perfect.  Many of the children were visiting Clonfert for the first time and we have no doubt they will return again with their families.  There is so much to do and see there.  They enjoyed a mixture of football, indoor play area, outdoor play area, zip line, bouncy castle as well as the tour.  A big thank you to the parents who came with us - Aoife and Sinéad, for all your help.     

Sponsored Walk
Thank you to everyone for returning the Sponsored Walk Cards. We got to enjoy ramble around the local area on a beautiful sunny day.  🏃🏻‍♀️A big thank you to Denise for joining us not only for walk but for a little jog at the end too! 😊  

Activities with Bee Bots
A big thank you to Isabella for demonstrating the Bee Bots to  the children. They really enjoyed programming the Bee robot and watch it as it followed a large number of pre programmed steps to reach its destination!  Thank you to Mr. Kelliher for organising the resources.

Green Schools' Clean Up
The class did a great job with tidying up during Green Schools' Week.  Thank you to Ms. Murray for all her organisation.

Play-doh Creations
The girls and boys showed great creativity in making play-doh animals.  Here is a sample of their work.  Very impressive. Well done everyone.

 📚📚World Book Day Activities📚📚
The children loved our recent visit from storyteller Seosamh.  As always, he got a great reaction from the boys and girls.  He was very impressed with the great questions and feedback he received from the class.  A big thank you to Ms. M. Carolan for organising it and to Lucy for being such a great help to the children with choosing books.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  See us all looking great dressed in green!!

We marked Down syndrome day by wearing odd socks.  It was funny wearing two different socks    

Happy St. Valentine's Day ❤💕💖

Thank you Ms. Breen
Thank you to Ms. Breen who has been with the class over the last 4 weeks.  The children have loved having you as part of their senior infant journey.  We will look after the little dog you gave the boys and girls (our class pet) which we have called 'Puppy Grace'.

​🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻CHRISTMAS TIME IN CLONBURRIS🎄🎅🏻🎄🎅🏻
​

⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐🎄⭐

It's that wonderful time of the year. 
​
Weren't the children just brilliant in their roles as 'stars in the sky' at our Sidbad the Sailor Concert?

We were so proud of them all and and we hope you enjoyed watching them perform as much as we enjoyed putting it all together.

They all gave 100% on the night.  We sprinkled the magic dust on them so that they 'had lots of attitude'!  It really worked 😊😊.

Thank you to Ms. Breen who came to see and help the children on their big night.  Thanks also to Brenda for all her help and support.

Thanks also to all the parents who did a fantastic job of dressing the children as stars.  They all looked absolutely amazing.  

Thanks again to everyone for making it a successful and fun evening.

The pictures below give a flavour of the night.
