Green Fingers!

C.J.'s daddy built us some beautiful planters for outside our prefab. We went to the local flower shop 'Dad's Shed' and the owner was so kind to give us all some flowers to plant. We also planted some sunflower seeds and dahlia bulbs. Our garden is looking really beautiful now and it brings lots of colour to our prefab. A big thank you to CJ's dad for helping to make this happen!  

Sports Day

Fit as Fiddles!

We had a great sports day this year! We joined in on lots of races but our favourite part was the bouncy castle

Our School Tour 

A day packed full of fun!

We went to Roll N’ Bowl this year and had so much fun in the soft play area. We did lots of climbing, jumping, sliding and laughing! We were so good on our trip that our teachers decided to let us pop into Ken Blacks for a surprise! We were very lucky ducks!

Out n’ About!

Library Visit 

We went on a big walk to the library today. It was a lovely trip. We played games, played with the interactive table, visited their amazing sensory room, read a story and played with bubbles outside. On our way back to school we got ice creams in the shop for being such good boys!

The Park

The weather was so nice we decided to go for a walk down to the park. We had a great time on the swings, slides, zip line and in the sandpit. We really didn’t want to leave!☀️

Shopping!

We went to our local shop to practice speaking to the shopkeeper and buying something small! It was great fun and the shopkeeper was lovely and kind. 


Up to Snow Good! 

We had great fun in the snow building our little snowman and having a snowball fight! ⛄️ 

Stealing the Show!

Green Factor

Our boys performed a song called ‘Everyone Should Walk to School’ to the tune of ‘Here we go round the Mulberry Bush’. It was our first performance in front of the whole school and we were brilliant! Everyone gave us a big cheer and then we listened to the other classes perform. Our teachers were so proud of us

Christmas Concert

We really out did ourselves for this performance! We sang ‘The Happiest Christmas Tree’ dressed as very cute Christmas trees! We got a great big cheer from all the mammies and daddies. Our teachers were so proud of us again!

Autism Awareness Day

For the month of April, our whole school spent some time learning about autism and on the last Friday we all came together to celebrate our autism awareness and acceptance month. It was a beautiful gathering and it meant a lot to us. We sang a song and listened to all the classes perform. We finished up with a bit of a boogie and it was so much fun! 

Swimming

The boys in Ms Bennett’s Class had a brilliant time at Portarlington Swimming Pool. We went once a week for seven weeks and we can’t wait to go back next year!
