Eggcited for Easter in Mrs McGuirk’s Room

The boys and girls have been ‘busy bunnies’ in the week leading up to the Easter holidays. They learned about the Easter Story and the reason that we celebrate Easter. We also learned about the origins of Easter and how it is celebrated around the world.

We learned lots of Irish words around the theme of Easter. We also completed some ‘eggcellent’ Easter art too, which the children really enjoyed.

Have a ‘Hoppy Easter’ boys and girls and enjoy your Easter Holidays!

 

We were very lucky to have Miss O’ Brien with us for the past three weeks. We hope that she enjoyed her teaching practice experience in St Michael’s N.S. Donaghmoyne and we wish her every success in her future studies.

 

St. Patrick’s Day in Ms Atkinson’s Room

With St. Patrick’s Day looking a little different for everyone this year, we were delighted to be able to celebrate as normal in school. We held a Lá Glás which always adds excitement to this very special day. We also completed a few different art activities.

 

We made fingerprint Pots of Gold using paint and crepe paper.

 

We also made these cool Leprechaun masks.

Zoom Art Session

We created these beautiful Spring Wreaths during our art class with Jo on zoom last week. It is so wonderful to see that Spring is finally here!

Infants Return to School

The 1st of March was a very exciting day as our Infants got to return to school after Christmas. We spent the day chatting and playing with our friends as it has been so long since we were together!

 

We visited our school friendship garden for a chat and some meditation.

 

We also made cards for our wonderful Mams and Dads who helped us to complete our home learning over the past seven weeks.
