Mrs. Burns is our teacher.

We are very lucky to have four classroom assistants in our P1 classroom; Mrs. Higgins, Mrs. Lynch, Miss Bleakney and Mrs. Hanlon.

We have 22 children in our class this year. It is early days in Primary 1 and everything is very new coming down from our small Nursery to the big school. Never to mind the sanitising, washing hands, looking after our own belongings and finding our special boxes in the classroom. Nevertheless we are having lots of fun with new toys and give our parents a last hug to say good-bye each morning! Some of our friends even got the bus on their very first day; this was very brave! We have been shown our special spots on the carpet and then will find our tables with our friends. Next week we will get to play again in larger groups but we have to begin a little task at our new seats too. Mrs. Burns tells us that it will soon be time to use a special play-board to play and she was very impressed with how well we can tidy up all the toys.

Thank you to all the parents who took time to attend the Primary 1 meeting on Tuesday, it was lovely to meet you all and explain what happens in our room each day. We are in the process of adding each of you to Seesaw to begin a close partnership between home and school and will provide you with login details as soon as possible. Here you will find pictures of your child's very first day at St. Colman's Primary School.
