Playtime

Playtime is very busy this week! In the build up to St. Patrick's Day we are celebrating the famous 40 shades of green in Ireland! The children are mixing paint to create their own shades of glas and painting some green hills...

There is a cut and paste activity where the children have to sort plant parts and needs...

There is a green scavenger hunt...

The florists is lots of fun, and very messy...what we like best!!!

Leprechaun Traps!

Last week the Juniors and Seniors worked with their partners to design and create leprechaun traps to mark Engineer's Week and the start of Seachtain na Gaeilge. They did an incredible job on their traps and worked really well in the groups, developing social skills, oral language, problem solving skills, creative thinking and motor skills! 

Over the weekend, when the school was quiet, a little leprechaun got into our classroom! He was too clever to fall into our traps though...and he made a big mess of our classroom!!! 

However, he did leave some special chocolate coins and shamrock stickers for the boys and girls to show them how impressed he was with their traps! 

What a crazy morning!!!
