Ms. Connolly’s Junior Infants

June 22nd- June 26th 2020

Big hello to all the amazing Junior Infants!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! We have reached our final week of activities for home learning. I am so proud of the hard work and effort that you all have made over the past few weeks and months. I know our year was sadly cut short, however, we have such fun memories of our first year in Warrenmount. It has been amazing to watch you all grow and make so many special friendships with each other.

You are a wonderful bunch and I hope you all have a fantastic summer!☀️

As always choose your favourite activities and have some fun with them!
