As Water Safety Awareness Week started yesterday on the 14th of June First Class have been doing a lot of work on Water.

We discussed ‘Water Safety’ rules in the swimming pool for SPHE.

The girls made charts describing the uses of water in their pods in Science.

They learned about the river Shannon in Geography.

They are learning the poem ‘Siorc San Uisce’ in Irish.

First Class completed many weeks of work today. They presented their narrative writing – ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ to Senior Infants via Zoom. And what an outstanding audience Senior Infants were. Thank you for you attention cailíní.

And of course, well done to First Class for the gift of ‘the written word’.

First Class have been given a very special job. They each received a ‘Seatbelt Sheriff’ badge from the RSA. Over the next number of weeks they will be monitoring that everyone in the car has their seatbelt on.



A note for Parents :

SMOCKS FOR ART.

How about an Art Smock from Little Things to Sew in chambray? Cute paint  brush appliqué coming out of a pock… | Artist smock, Smock dress pattern,  Childrens clothes

Could you please send the children to school with an old shirt / t-shirt with long sleeves with their name clearly on it. I will be starting painting with the children in a couple of weeks and I don’t want to send anyone home with paint on a school uniform.

Much obliged,

Miss Cunniffe. : )
