DECEMBER
What a crazy December we had! Even though things were very different this year we still got out and about on lots of adventures.
First up we decided what we wanted for Christmas and made our very own Santa lists.

We had a very special 7th birthday! 🎂 🎂
We had a very special visit from Santa Claus.
We hopped on the bus and went to visit the Festive Forest where we saw Santa again, along with Ms. Claus, some elves and reindeers!
We had a fantastic day on the Greenway, going to the playground first and the coffee shop after.
We did the beautiful Anne Valley walk and spotted some swans along the way.
It’s not Christmas without a trip to the cinema. We really enjoyed Elf.
Lots of fun and play.
A little McDonalds before finishing up for the holidays. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🎅🏼
NOVEMBER
We kicked off the month of November with the theme of Occupations. We decided to learn about the fireman first!!
Here we are dressing our firemen and firewomen.
Shoot the water, put out the flames. Oh what fun we had!!
Some more fire themed sensory play.
Next up: The Postman. First we wrote a lovely letter to our friend. Then we took a trip to the post office to buy a stamp and post our letter.
Postman crafts.
Would you believe we got a parcel delivered to our door by a very special postman?! Of course we had to play pass the parcel!!
Our second theme this month was Music. We explored lots of different musical instruments.
We got busy making a xylophone craft.
What a treat, we had a special friend come in to play some music on her guitar. We were in our element!!
Cookery this month was cereal. Our listen skills were put to the test when Ms Whelan asked to us to chose either the spoon or the bowl.
We all picked our own favourite cereal and poured them into the bowl. Some of us added milk and some preferred to eat our cereal dry.
We also mastered beans and toast this month!
OCTOBER
What a busy month we had!! Our first theme was Autumn. We went on a lovely nature walk picking blackberries and collecting leaves.
When we got back to school we practiced our sorting skills and divided our collection into two piles: leaves and berries.
We got busy making Autumn trees.
Sorting by colour.
Practicing our fine motor skills.
We used shaving foam and paint to decorate our leaves 🍁
We got messy afterwards!!
We were delighted to get back to the cookery room. We always ways our hands before we begin.
Here we are making toast.
A big thanks to Ann for our beautiful display.
Our next theme was Halloween. We painted orange pumpkins and white ghosts.
Lots of sensory play! Here we are looking for spiders and eyeballs.
We went to the hall for some spooky activities!
Look how fabulous we look 😍😍
Some treats and music for our Halloween party 🥳
SEPTEMBER
We were very excited to get back to school and settle back into our routine, just look at our smiley faces!!😁😁
Busy working on our table top activities.
We have so much fun with our sensory boxes.
Our first theme this month was Family. You should have seen the smiles and kisses we had for the pictures of our families each day- adorable 😍
We love playdough so we put our skills to test with our family themed playdough mats.
Next up was the theme of school. We looked at the people who help us in school and the friends we have in our classroom. We played a matching game with these visuals. Some of us were even able for more difficult matching boards!!
We got busy making lots of school themed art. Here’s some snaps of us glueing and sticking....
Check out the finished products
We had the most fantastic day ever on the Greenway!!!! Here we are all ready for road....
We stopped at the playground in Durrow for our snack and then on to Ballycamper beach for our lunch!😍😍
The going didn’t stop there. We made sure to make the most of the nice weather and got out and about on some scenic walks.
Fun in our school playground.
Finally, Tac Pac to relax after a really busy month!!
