Dear Parent/Guardians,

Yesterday 22.02.22 we had a full day workshop with Dale Treadwell from Hertiage Ireland.

The children in our Junior Room had a very busy day.

They got to listen to a lovely Hedgehog story, and spent some time examining woodlice, ladybird, centipede and spiders through lenses which was super interesting for them to see.

They Listened to the story Patricia The Planted Butter Fly written by Dale who gave the workshop and learned about dinosaurs and saw lots of interesting artifacts, bones and teeth

They played lots of games outside in a circle and got to plant wildflower seeds at the bank outside of their classroom. The pupils also planted a Tree (Mountain Ash) over by the corner of the pitch. This will be such a lovely memory for the children and they will get to watch what they have planted develop and grow.

All the children in the Junior Room finished the day with artwork on drawing dinosaurs and using playdough to make one.

Overall everyone had a super interesting and exciting day and I am sure there were lots of lovely stories for parents afterwards.

Thank you to Dale for visiting us at Scoil San Eoin

In the Senior Room they made a bug hotel, learned about echo location and had to work together as a team to put together a geometric dome. It was tougher than it looked and they learned some engineering skills and some skills about job delegation and patience!!
