We sowed our wildflower seeds.

We collected them last Autumn!

Well done to our lovely 6th class who made their Confirmation yesterday.

You did yourselves proud.

Much to our delight and excitement, Michéal Prendergast came to visit our school with some sheep and newborn lambs yesterday! It was a special treat to meet Patricia and her lamb, Timmy, who was only 3 days old!

We learned lots of interesting facts. Did you know some mountain sheep have hair instead of wool? Also, young lambs often have their tails ‘docked’ to help keep them clean. Michéal showed the children a band that is put around the lambs tail, cutting off the blood supply. The tail then falls off in 7 to 10 days. How fascinating!

Many thanks for the visit – it was a wonderful experience that we all thoroughly enjoyed!

Seniors have spent a great deal of time balloon blowing, paper tearing, applying with wallpaper paste to balloons and then painting their balloons to resemble Easter Eggs!

They finished with some PVA glue to perfect that high gloss shine!

We hung them and then safely nested them, and they’re homeward bound for Easter.

Happy Easter!
