We took part in lots of different wellbeing activities this week for our whole school Wellness Week. Here are some photos from the week.

Crazy colours and disco fun for Feel Good Friday:

We have been learning about looking after our teeth with the Mighty Mouth dental health programme over the last few weeks. We had a special visit today from Adrienne, a dental nurse, who presented us with certificates to celebrate all our hard work.

We took part in a Fun Friday ‘Climb the Heights’ challenge today for Active Schools. We completed 175 skips altogether, which is further than the highest point of the Møllehøj mountain in Denmark. Wow!

Chinese New Year began last Sunday. Today we listened to the Chinese zodiac story and made dragon puppets in Art.

We are busy exploring the theme ‘houses and homes’ in Aistear at the moment.

We started GAA with Anthony from O’Dwyer’s club today. Here we are playing games and practising some skills. We had lots of fun!

We drew fantastic fireworks to celebrate the new year.

We enjoyed taking part in the whole school Christmas jumper day and Santa Dash today, as well as a singalong with the Garda band and a special visitor! Here are a few photos. Merry Christmas from Room 17!

We have been busy in Room 17 creating some beautiful Christmas Art. Here are a few photos of some of our creations.

When Santa got stuck up the chimney….poor Santa! We learned the rhyme, printed a chimney design and added Santa’s boots.

We made a nativity scene with Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus and listened to the song ‘Away in a Manger’.

We designed lovely fabric and fibre stockings to decorate our Christmas trees at home.

We had a great time today wearing our pyjamas, watching the pantomime ‘Hansel and Gretl’ and enjoying some tasty popcorn and hot chocolate.
