World Diabetes Day
On 14th of November, First class celebrated World Diabetes Day, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about diabetes, its impact on health, and the steps we can all take to prevent and manage the disease.
Students and teachers wore blue as it is the national colour of diabetes. They also made some blue treats!
A huge well done to Laleen, one of our first class pupils who designed this poster and gave a presentation to her classmates informing us all about Diabetes!

Vincent Van Gogh
Senior Infants have been inspired by the amazing artist Vincent Van Gogh. We have been looking at and responding to his paintings. We loved the 'Sunflowers' so much that we created them ourselves using a mixture of paint and chalk pastels.
But our favourite painting was ' Starry Night ' so we worked collaboratively to create a jigsaw masterpiece.
First, we picked a piece of the puzzle and had to find where in the actual painting it was and then we worked with one another to colour match and place it all together. Senior Infants worked very well together, they helped eachother, gave advice on colour/techniques, shared materials and even gave eachother encouragement and compliments. I was very impressed on their great teamwork!
& look how amazing their art turned out WOW
Spring Has Sprung!
