Ms o’Sullivan’s Junior infants
Our Junior Infants have settled in wonderfully with a great start to their first school year. They love to play and have a huge imagination with creative toys building Mr Sargent’s office, giant towers, rollercoasters and more. They’ve spent time painting and playing at our Aistear time and also tried out some Montessori activities. They’ve enjoyed playtime in our sandpit before the weather changed and joined our older peers at Assembly on Fridays. Their Halloween costume day raised a large donation for Pieta house and as you can see they loved wearing their costumes in 😀

A massive THANK YOU to our local Connect BNYP Youth Group who have worked together over the last few months to hanmale this beautiful rainbow Buddy bench for our Junior Yard.
Buddy Bench are part of a new idea that is evidence based to help promote our school's positive children’s mental health program. They help to empower children to foster friendships and eliminate loneliness in the playground.
If your child feels lonely in the yard they can sit at the Buddy Bench and find a friend. We will encourage our children to show friendship and kindness by inviting and including children who are sitting on the Buddy Bench into their games.
Our school children testing out the Buddy Bench for the first time!
