SENSORY YARD AT ST. PATRICKS' NS
Here at St. Patricks' NS, as well as encouraging academic and sporting success, we also value and nurture creative interests.
We have introduced a "Yard Art" programme where the the children are welcome to use chalks in a large designated area. Their efforts are very eye-catching. This activity is excellent for motor skills and is also therapeutic for some children.  It is also proving to be an excellent social event and children from all classes are working together.
There is also a designated day for playing with hoola hoops at break-time in this area.  This is great exercise and fun for the children too. It also provides an alternative for children who are less sporting than others.
