🧸 Today's the day the Teddy Bears had their picnic 🫶

Hugs, hugs and more hugs ❤️

Thank you to our parents for trusting us it has been a privilege to be part of your children's journey. We will miss their smiles, creativity and the joy they have brought to pre-school.

Kind, caring and confident children ready for their next adventures. We hope you all carry your keepsakes from today as a reminder of how proud we are of you.

Here's to your next chapter of school life and following where all your dreams take you.

Lots of love,
J, G & S 🌈

Our end of year Fun Day and water balloon fun🌈
❤️ One of the days the children love most, hundreds of water balloons and 'soak the teacher' 💦 We had beautiful cakes sent in today, thank you so much to both Cobie and Rebekah's families. We all loved our treats 🍰😁
We have had the perfect weather this week 🌞 cooling off with ice pops and fun outdoor experiments. The children loved making huge hula hoop bubbles 🫧 even beating their teachers with their bubble making skills! We have the cleverest little pre-schoolers who we are so proud of👌

Another fantastic morning 🌟

Armagh Neighbourhood Policing Team had lots of fun today with the children from Rainbow Stop PreSchool in Markethill! The children loved seeing the police car and asked lots of great questions relating to Stranger Danger and Road Safety! Thank you for having us today!

This morning we were delighted to have a visit from the PSNI neighbourhood policing team. To incorporate learning around national Neighbourhood Policing Week.

The team took part in discussions with the children around important topics such as, how the police can help them in their community and stranger awareness.

The children were all very excited to explore the team's handcuffs and radio, even getting to try these on and listen to some real life interactions.

We ended our morning out in the sunshine exploring how heavy a police officers vest is and got to explore the lights and sirens on the police car 🚓 🚔 🚨
