The End!

29/6/2017

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your support, encouragement and in trusting me with the care and education of your wonderful, inspiring children. It has been an absolutely honour working with them and this journey of learning has been fruitful for both the children and myself. I felt that you were very much a part of their journey this year and through this blog we have been able to share the wonderful work they have done.

You will have notice that your child has brought home their special box of little treasures, and a little poem I wrote for them. I look forward to receiving some little letters or pictures over the holidays!! Please also take some time to sit down and read through their copies... we have all poured our heart and soul into them throughout the year and they are a testament to your child's hard work and progress! Please enjoy them and keep them safe to look back on and enjoy in years to come.

As a final note... I want to says a special thank you to our wonderful Ann-Marie, who is always working hard just out of sight of all the photos and videos! She has been a source of comfort and support to each child in the class and to many of them she is their mommy away from home! She has shown such kindness and empathy to each child in our class and they are so lucky to have her again next year! No doubt she will be a sense of comfort for them in their new class come September.
I wish you and the children a wonderful Summer full of fun, sun and quality time together. As I sign off for the last time... please enjoy the video of our Summer Meal we shared together this week.

Thank you,

Regards,
Zara

Can you believe we are coming to the last week of school! I hope to do a few nice things with he children next week.

NEEDED: I have a little project I wanted to work on for the last week of school so if anyone has any shoe boxes with a lid on them I would be grateful if you could send them in on Monday! I need one for each child. Thank you.

Ms McRory's Retirement Mass

It is with a heavy heart to we wish Ms McRory a happy retirement! On Wednesday we had a special mass with the children to celebrate her amazing time in OLV Infants. We wish her the very best for the exciting times ahead. I am working soon a special video of the mass, so check the 'News' page next week.

Just a few snaps this week!

Enjoy your weekend!

Regards,
Ms Murray

Summer's Here!

As the beautiful summer weather continues what better time to learn about plants! The boys' school garden is in full bloom and the children were delighted to take a trip up to look at all the lovely plants and vegetables growing.

While we were exploring the garden we took a moment to discuss the different parts of the plant. We talked about the roots, steam, leaves and the flower head. We learnt about the job of the different parts.

When we returned to our classroom we made notes in our copies

P.E.

The children had a go at skipping this week. It's very tricky for the little ones but plenty of practice and they'll get there!

I hope everyone is enjoying the great weather!

Kind Regards,
Ms Murray

As we have enjoyed two short weeks, I have put our work together to make one blog. You will have noticed this week that we have finished up the homework sheets but we would ask you to continue with the word boxes and reading each night, I will also be doing a Blog competition each week until the end of school so check their bags on a Monday for the quiz. We are on the wind down now, hard to believe we have only three weeks left! I will be starting to send home their workbooks as we finish them up, so please enjoy looking through them and you can keep them at home. Enjoy the blog... I hope you like the video at the end!

Writing

We were practising our procedure writing last week. We looked back at our blogpost from Spring when we planted sunflower seeds and wrote about it, step by step. What fantastic work the children did and look how much everyones writing has improved in only a few short months!

Story Time

We have been learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and what better story to read than Eric Carle's The Hungry Caterpillar! Read it below at home.

Below is our super copy work showing the life cycle of the butterfly. Why not ask you child to tell you the four stages of the life cycle that they have learned in school.
