Hello to all my Senior Infants!
I hope you are all keeping safe and well! We have come to the last week of Senior Infants- a very different week that what was originally planned for us all but we will make the best of it! Take a look back through some of the older Senior Infants posts on this website to remember some of the fun we had this year- from making chocolate apples, Halloween dress- up, Pom- pom parties, our Christmas play, making pancakes etc to name but a few of the fun things we got up to in Senior Infants! 🙂
Thank you all so much for your hard work over the last few weeks…it has been a tough few weeks on everyone! I wish you all the best in 1st class- you have been a fantastic class and I will miss you! 🙂
Have a lovely Summer!
Take care,
Anita Sinnott

Last week of school-Miss Doyle JI 22nd-25th June
Hello everyone,
It is hard to believe we have reached the last week of this very different and unexpected school year. Well done to all of the boys and girls for their hard work and kindness throughout the year-seeing your big smiles every day from September to March and seeing photos of your learning since March made me a proud and happy teacher. I have loved being your teacher and look forward to seeing all the great things you do in the future. Well done all you superstars!
To all the parents, thank you for your support and dedication since the school closed. I know it has been very difficult for you all but I appreciate your help in continuing the children’s learning and enjoyed speaking to many of you via email.
I wish you all a happy and safe Summer,
Miss Doyle
