Welcome

☀️🦋 Sunshine, Science & Smiles in Junior Infants! 💧😊 Junior Infants had a fantastic week full of fun, learning and adventure! 🌿 They enjoyed a lovely sunny walk to Bushmount where they explored the outdoors and took in the beauty of nature 🌳🌼 Back in class, the children have been learning all about the life cycle of the butterfly 🐛➡️🦋 They created beautiful artwork 🎨 and took part in sequencing activities to understand each stage of this amazing transformation. Outdoor play was a big highlight this week! 🚜 The children loved exploring with vehicles, sand and water 💦 They investigated capacity, floating and sinking, and even made ice before experimenting with it using water of different temperatures ❄️🔥 Our Infant classrooms are lucky to have their own dedicated courtyard space, complete with climbing walls 🧗‍♂️, play equipment and an astro area ⚽—the perfect place for active play and exploration! A brilliant week full of curiosity, creativity and smiles! 🌈✨

🌱🌼 3rd Class Bringing Our Green Hub to Life 🌼🌱 3rd Class have been super busy this week transforming their garden into a vibrant and productive space in our school’s Green Hub! 🌿 Located by the cycle shed 🚲, this fantastic area is home to our garden beds, bike shelter, leaf composter 🍂, and even our hens and hen coop 🐔🥚 The children showed amazing teamwork 💪 as they planted peas, beans, lettuce and basil 🫛🥬🌱, carefully prepared the soil, and built supports for their growing plants 🌾. They have also been busy watering 💧, weeding, and looking after their crops—showing real responsibility and pride in their work 😊👏 Beautiful flowers 🌸🌺🌷 have also been added, which will soon bring lots of colour and help attract pollinators 🐝🦋 We have exciting plans to continue developing our Green Hub 🌍, so stay tuned for more updates! In the meantime, keep an eye on 3rd Class’s garden 👀—you might spot some tasty produce ready to harvest soon 🍴🥗 Clonakilty Tidy Towns Green-Schools
