NI Rescue Service visit

A very exciting visit today from the firefighters! They talked to us about what they do and how they help people.

They asked us to check our smoke alarms at home and some of our children were able to tell them where their alarm was at home.

Planting in Forest School

Thanks to our Pollinator Grant from the LiveHereLoveHere project, we have been able to purchase some new planters, plants, trees and soil to enhance school grounds. The children have begun the planting process during the Forest School sessions and were able to talk about what the plants need to grow.
