We had a lovely morning at Carriganima baby and toddler group on Saturday. It was so lovely to see all the children enjoy Carriganima National School and all they have to offer, such a beautiful school in a beautiful location only 10 minutes drive from macroom and milstreet. Im looking forward to the next one ❤️💕

Today we had one of our children's dad, Shane our local farmer call with a calf for all our children to see as part of our community helpers. We had so much fun petting him and following him around. We learned what he eats anf drinks and the children from our Carriganima National School called him Beff.

We had a great week in preschool this week. The weather didn't dampen our spirits, we just found learning opportunities in it. We loved getting messy and sitting and jumping in muddy puddles. We loved digging, pouring, measuring and dancing with the mud the rain made. We worked together and made magnetic structures that were huge buildings and small domes. We played games inside when we just couldn't make it outside and planted seeds so we can watch them grow. We saw Mr fox in the field and found some worms. And best of all was when our local farmer Jerome McCarthy brought his lamb to visit us, we called her Mary 😀 after our beautiful teacher Mary Kelleher and sang Mary had a little lamb. We loved every minute of our week in Busy Bees Preschool and can't wait to see all our friends again next week 🥰 have a wonderful weekend, love Busy Bees Team 🥰😍💖

So much fun this week, it was so lovely to see the sunshine so we could all get out and have some fun. We got to have toast and honey too on Friday which was yummy, but the best part is playing with our friends and buildings castles together. 🌻🥰🐝

We were learning about Bees in preschool this week and even made our own beehive and tasted some yummy honey. We got to wear a bee keeper suit too which was great fun. Mary read a book about Bees and we pretended we were bee keepers. We had great a great time and learned so much. 🐝 🌻🥰

Lots of fine motor development happening in preschool and talking about healthy eating. There's a lot happening in January but most importantly, lots of friendships continuing to grow ♥️♥️♥️
