Clay

Filed under: Our Work — Miss Dillon @ 4:51 pm

Have a look at the clay “little beings” we made last week. We read a few stories about the little beings as part of our Religious Education in Alive-O. Each little being is different and very special so each child made a different little being to show their individuality. They really look great- well done everyone!

Preventing swine flu January 10, 2011

Filed under: News — Miss Dillon @ 8:18 pm

In order to keep the flu out of our classroom, I would really appreciate it if each child brought in a small packet of tissues and a small container of hand gel. These could be put in a little bag with a small face cloth for drying hands. I have hand gel and tissues in the classroom also. Thanks for your co-operation.
