The Sunflower Room
Halloween
Mrs Corcoran’s Class
We had great fun engaging in sensory play in the Sunflower Room. We used shaving foam and glue with some food colouring to make ice cream cones. The mixture was so soft and squishy. It was so much fun to feel the texture running between our fingers.
The Sunflower Rm are visiting the library each Thursday until Christmas. There they enjoy story time and sensory, interval play. The jelly mats are a big hit with the children. Last week was story time with the Gruffalo! They got to interact with all the various puppet characters in the story while relaxing on individual beanbags.
Halloween Fun
Ms Corcoran’s Class
Mrs. Corcoran’s class were very busy making pancakes. We loved measuring out and mixing all the ingredients. Of course the final stage of tasting was the best!!!
Mrs. Corcoran’s class are enjoying horse riding lessons at Mullingar Equestrian Centre. We even began trotting on our first day! It was super exciting. We are getting to know our horses and we are building friendships with our Transition Year helpers.
Ms Newman’s Class
Ms. Newman’s class had great fun visiting the playground during the lovely weather!
Ms Newman’s Class went on a Bear Hunt

The Sunflower Rm have been super busy this month gardening. We have sown vegetable seeds and a large mixture of wild flowers for our sensory garden. It’s going to look fab!
We also planted our own flowers in our individual pots. We enjoyed feeling the different textures of the compost and the bulbs and seeds and we have been busy watering and checking out the progress of our efforts.
Hopefully the boys will be able to bring home their pots in June!
St. Patrick’s Day in the Sunflower Rm
We had great fun making our St. Patrick’s Day Rainbows and finding our crocks of gold!!!
Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas one and all
Mrs Corcoran’s Class had great fun visiting the Christmas market.
They enjoyed a beautiful walk in the snow in their wellies. They paid a visit to the Christmas Market to get in the mood for Santa’s arrival ….
Both Sunflower classes were very busy making mini pizzas. Exploring the different tastes and textures of all the ingredients was great fun and even better fun tasting them!
We went on an Autumn nature walk, we had great fun exploring the different sounds and colours of the leaves.
We had fun making our winter art!
