The Cinemagic crew transformed our school into a movie theatre for the morning of Wed. 11th June. Teachers distributed tickets, popcorn and nachos & even rolled out the red carpet for the occasion. Cinemagic has developed into an annual event in our school.
Although the weather is unpredictable (Irish style), we still play in the outdoor area daily. By bringing out different play materials, the children have a variety of activities to choose from.
Sunflowers seeds were planted in April and have been given priority attention by the children since then. Today (May 22nd) the children transplanted the little plants into their planting trough in the playground.
Teachers from the Junior Preschool introduced the theme of ‘Healthy Eating’ to the children though stories, art & tasting. Pineapples, water melons, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, limes, lemons & more were on the menu!
