Spring Fair
Plans for the Spring Fair that will take place Saturday, 18th April from 12.00-16.00 are coming together. We hope everyone will support the event by baking things for the café, voluneteering on the day for an hour, selling raffle tickets and participating in the workshops and activities for parents and children to enjoy together including circus skills, parachute games, visual arts and more. A sign-up for volunteers will be posted soon.

Building Theme
Our new theme for this month is building. We’re learning all about different homes and buildings in our community. We also have set up a building site and DIY store. We are looking forward to visiting B&Q next week. The theme will be explored across the curriculum from drama (The Three Little Pigs) to geography (drawing places of work for people in our community) to science (exploring and classifying materials).
This pair created a giant playground out of blocks during Aistear time.
