What a great week we had last week in The Children’s House! After a lovely few days learning about road safety (morning classes) and looking at farm animals (afternoon classes), we had a wonderful trip on Friday with the morning classes to Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Park – we got to play in the outdoors playground, go on a train ride through the bog, see where the fairies live in the forest, and look at all the animals they have there – we even got to pet a very young kid goat! Thanks so much to all the parents who came along to help, it was a really great day, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather!

So this week the morning classes will be studying further the life cycle of the frog (having tadpoles in the school has really intrigued the children as to when they will start growing legs!) while the afternoon children will be learning about road safety. The morning classes will also be inviting their grandparents to visit us in school over the next couple of weeks to spend some time in their class with them, and maybe bring in a photo from when they were children themselves! Also this week we will be bringing the morning classes up to the primary school to visit and do a little tour with the vice principal; following on from this if any questions or worries arise the children can discuss them at school or at home, in order to try and make the transition from preschool to primary school that bit easier.
