Parents Visits!

Last term, we were very lucky to have some of the Mums /Dads come into school and tell us about their work!

Siun s Mum, Fionnuala, told us all about going to the dentist! She talked about looking after our teeth and eating “healthy food”! She even brought in a giant toothbrush and all had a turn to brush their teeth. Best of all, everyone got a brand-new toothbrush and toothpaste!

Aoife s Mum,Caroline, also came into the afternoon class to talk about caring for our teeth. She had lovely charts and much fun was had in deciding on food with sugars and no sugars. Best of all, each child got a timer so that they could time the brushing of their teeth before bed!

Olivia s Dad, Alan, is a diver and he brought his laptop in to show us pictures of the rig he dives from and his diving gear. The children were fascinated by the fish under the water especially the giant ray and the sharks! It was lovely to hear him speak about the world under the water which we have never visited

Art s Dad, John, is an architect and the children had such fun as he came armed with blank paper and pens and drew the house the children designed! And then John created a house for each child out of paper which they proudly took home.

We had such fun when Michelle, Julian s Mum came in as she set up a Good 4 U kitchen. The children tasted seeds and dates, learned where they came from, and then donned caps and aprons and set about rolling and making their very own super bites! They were indeed very lucky children going home with delicious Super bites, their very own creations!

Noah s, Mum, and Anna visited too and brought in her sewing machine. Anna helped everyone to make a little bag and then write their name using the machine, It was fabulous as each child had a turn at using the machine.It was also a great lesson in telling children where things come from and sharing a skill that has sadly been lost to many.

Hopefully, parents will continue to visit and share with us. The children are so proud when their Mum or Dad visit!
