The Chairperson of the Eco Committee, Ana-Maria Sirdea, recently interviewed Mr Alan McDowell, Director of Empower Garden Centre and General Manager and Trustee of Portadown Wellness Centre.
Mr McDowell is working with the Eco Committee to restore and improve the pond area at the front of the school and the front garden next to the road. The Eco Committee hope to make this a butterfly garden where children can have outdoor learning and where parents and carers can sit and talk to each other while waiting for their children at the end of school.
Today we played outside in the sunshine. We enjoyed catch the ball with Mrs Shields, building Lego and even making meals for others in our imaginary McDonald’s.
We enjoyed planting our sunflowers today. We then wrote the instructions, remembering and sequencing what we did.
Our boys and girls were very excited this morning about going to Presentation P.S. to meet up with their new friends. We began by playing a few space games, followed by a fun-filled Play-based Learning session and finishing off our day by watching the ‘Smeds and Smoos’ film together.
