Presentation Primary School

Our Junior Infants enjoyed their first taste of our new Aistear Room recently. Aistear is a play based curriculum which helps develop oral language and communication skills for pupils. The room has been freshly renovated and purposely prepared for Aistear. Huge thanks must be given to our caretaker Kieran Britton and our Junior Infant teachers for the hours of work they invested to prepare the new room.

This term the children are learning all about Halloween through play and social interaction. There is a dress up area, a Play Dough table, a water station and a building station. The children really enjoyed their first experience of Aistear and will no doubt benefit greatly from this opportunity.

On Friday the boys in Seoidín practised their fine motor skills by using water pistols to water the flowers outside. As you can see, the boys took this task very seriously at first and were concentrating hard on their jobs until someone discovered that the pistols could be used to soak people as well as plants…and then came the water fight!

Some pupils in Seoidín were very busy today getting ready for Easter. The boys used blow painting to decorate some giant eggs.

Today Ms Walsh and Ms Drohan and the girls from Rang 3 and 4 put on their coats and hats and had a lovely walk to Bookworm. We were warmly welcomed by Johhny Butler. We had a lovely time choosing our books and we all came back to school happy with our purchases. Happy reading girls and remember the words of Dr Seuss
“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book”

Pupils from Seoidín had a great time practicing their movement skills in the hall with an obstacle course.  The staff seemed to enjoy getting involved too!!
