7/5/'21 - For eight weeks the infant class have undergone intensive tuition twice a day, taking part in a Phonological and Narrative Programme to help them in developing their literacy skills. Our two SETs, Mrs. Blake and Mrs. Nally were involved with the class teachers, Mr. Hanley and Ms. Sheehy in administering the programme. There was a huge amount of work involved in the preparation and presentation of this programme but it has been so worthwhile. The children enjoyed and learned from all the activities and games and the teachers saw how the children progressed so rapidly from day one. Well done to all the children and teachers in completing this.
