Dear Parents/Guardians,
Well done to our 2nd/3rd class pupils today who officially launched our new Sensory Garden with their wonderful presentation of a song called Follow the Light with Pete McCamley. The children also showcased their new Sensory Wall which will be the first installment in our new Sensory Garden. The children in the Green School spoke about the Sensory Garden and all it will offer. The 2nd/3rd class pupils created the song called Follow the Light with Pete and performed it in the garden.
Ms. Franey has been in touch with News2day so they will do a feature of this song and the start of our Sensory Garden on June 24th.. We would hope our parents/guardians and school community can join us once again for this celebration.
Well done to all involved.
