Our Junior Infants were involved in planting an Alder tree at the front of the school. Hopefully, we will watch the tree grow along with all our Junior Infants students over their time in Threen NS

All students made sock puppets using a range of fabric and fibre materials for example buttons, wool, pipe cleaners, feathers etc

Students and teachers wore odd socks as a way to show that all feelings are ok and as a way to show we are all different. It is absolutely fine to have different feeling at different times in our lives.

We wore Jerseys to highlight the importance of “connecting” with those around us and to show that being part of a ‘team’ of people is good for our well-being and mental health. The people who are around us can help us with any problems we have.

Thanks to the helpers who squeezed the oranges for us! We all enjoyed a delicious drink of tasty orange juice! We choose to have orange juice as it is the same colour as the Amber Flag we are working towards during our Mental Health Awareness week.

All Students participated in a lovely yoga session this week. We all learned some new skills. We did some yoga poses, breathing techniques and participated in a relaxation activity at the end. Parents were also invited in to have their own yoga session. Thanks to those who came and we hope you enjoyed it!

We were very lucky to have a guest speaker to visit our school to speak about the “Five Ways to Wellbeing”. They are Connect, Be Active, Give, Keep learning and Take Notice. She also spoke about the importance of One Good Adult in our lives.

We all enjoyed some pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Thanks to Mary for all her help cooking them.

We had a visit from Fred the Party Professor today.He did lots of wonderful tricks which made us all giggle and laugh. Some of the students had the opportunity to participate in the show and get involved in doing the magic tricks too! We are still trying to figure out how he did some of the tricks! I wonder will we ever know?

All our students participated in a paired reading session today. A lovely selection of stories were chosen by the children from junior infants to second class and our excellent readers from the senior room read them. We all really enjoyed it!
