First Class Activities 15th - 19th June | Central Model Infants' School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The First Class Teaching Team have put together some activities on the theme of Summer. There is a range of subjects from which to choose. Whichever you choose to do we encourage you do it at your child's own pace.

We want to hear YOUR memories of the three years you spent in Central Model Infants’ School. In your pack sent home last week are some pages to write your memories on. Remember to send them into us via email if you have not already done so, as we are looking forward to remembering the good times we had together over the years.

We continue to create a plan of activities that do not require any printing. If you are having difficulty accessing any of the resources or would like to send us a message you can contact us at firstclass@centralmodelinfantschool.ie.

We hope you are keeping well and safe.

Kind regards

The First Class Teaching Team

Ms Beakey, Ms Bennett, Ms Coghlan, Ms Dunphy, Ms Gibbons, Ms King

Take a Mindfulness Walk

We highly recommend this Scavenger Hunt if you are out for a walk.

It is a lovely way to encourage the children to use all five senses when exploring nature.
