Positive Pebbles

Over the last few weeks the first class children have been working hard creating beautiful pebbles to go into our wellness area outside.

A BIG thank you to Ms O Regan, along with Ms Donnelly and Ms Mannion who scoured the beaches of North County Dublin and gathered up over one hundred rocks and hauled them into school. 

Each first class painted the rocks white to begin with and then thought of their own design to paint onto the pebbles. There were some fantastic creations, with one painted "A Hug For You" in reference to Adam from The Late Late Toy Show. 😊

Once they were brightly painted Mrs Heffernan varnished them to keep them safe from the elements outside. Our fabulous caretaker, Pshemeck, then cemented them into the ground and Mrs Heffernan finished off the area by painting the cement and adding a few sparkly stars. 

Take a look at all the wonderful designs below. They capture the mood of a VERY strange 2020, with their positive mental health messages. Hopefully in years to come we will look back at this year (and our pebbles) and remember how we all worked together to stay safe and protect our loved ones.
