For World Down Syndrome Day 2022, we are asking: What does inclusion mean?

We celebrated our differences and similarities. The children noticed that they are different heights, have different hair colour or may be good at different things but regardless of this we all want to be included.

In Class 1 we decided inclusion means: 

  • letting everyone play.
  • looking after everyone.

Take a look at our fantastic odd sock designs.

The 19th March is St. Joseph’s Day.

St Joseph is the patron saint of families, in class we talked about the people in our families and why they are special. The children drew a picture and some wrote a prayer asking St. Joseph to take care of our families.

Police Visit

Visit to St Joseph’s Church

By

As we prepare to start attending mass again Father Ian very kindly invited us to spend some time in church. Father Ian showed us around and we had the chance to ask questions.  The children showed respect, friendship, excellence and care throughout their visit and all the adults were very proud.

Whatever Next!

By

We have been reading the story Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy. In the story Baby Bear makes his own rocket and goes to the moon. We gathered the same resources and recreated the journey to the moon.

The children took on different roles within the scenario and were able to switch roles. They were excited to be Baby Bear and be caught in the rain.

There was even some problem solving going on with some children finding a better hat because it didn’t have holes in.
