Junior & Senior Infants made scones today. We all took turns at mixing and kneading the dough. Then everyone cut out a scone and we baked them in the oven. After lunch we got to eat our scones and they were delicious!

The children of 3rd & 4th Classes got their hands dirty for Science Week. We were building birds nests using natural materials like twigs, moss, leaves and muck! It was a great way to explore our outdoor environment.
