Colourful pansies were planted at the office entrance today by Junior Infants today to give a bright, cheerful welcome for visitors to the school!
Junior Infants had great fun today building with blocks! They worked together to make towers, bridges, and patterns while exploring colours, counting, and shapes. It was a playful way to learn early maths skills and use their imaginations. Lots of smiles and laughter all around!
