THE LILY CLASS
Welcome back to the Lily class.
We are all working on our Junior Cert Level 1 in the Lily class. We are exploring topics in Communication and Language, Mathematics, Being part of the community, Physical Education, Personal care and wellbeing and the Arts.
We celebrated Ryan’s Junior Cycle profile of achievement in school in February. We are very proud of Ryans achievements and enjoyed the celebrations with his family and other Junior cycle students.
We would also like to congratulate Bryan, Arman and John who also completed their Junior cycle 1 profile of achievement in the Lily class last year.
We have been very busy in class. We have explored the theme of Spring and are currently exploring Easter. In Personal Care and Wellbeing, we have explored the elements of personal hygiene, emotional wellbeing, and physical wellbeing.
We are a very active class and love PE in the hall. We have a new basketball net in the school hall and we love playing basketball. We go out to play in the yard every day at break or lunch which is fun for everyone. Damien from Westmeath sports partnership shows us new physical movement skills every Wednesday. We thoroughly enjoy this time. We love to go for a walk in the regional sports centre every morning.
We have been very busy in Art. We made Valentine’s Day cards, Mother’s Day cards, St Patrick’s day cards, Easter flowers and cards. We used bubble wrap to make Spring flowers and made chicks with paint and a fork. We love painting in our class and find it very relaxing in the afternoon.
Music makes us all very happy in class and we love listening to music, dancing, and playing percussion instruments. We enjoy baking with Bernie every Wednesday morning and thoroughly enjoy mixing the ingredients. We made raspberry muffins, carrot cake, apple sponge, strawberry and cream tarts, apple and cinnamon scones, raspberry slices. Lemon drizzle muffins, Easter cup-cakes.
We love a sensory diet in our classroom and enjoy making and playing with slime, snow, play dough, coloured rice, water play. We love sensory stories every day in class also.
We are very excited about Easter and are looking forward to the Easter bunny visiting us with some chocolate treats.
