Stay Home Water – Week 11
With the primary schools finishing we won’t be having Stay Home Water activities every week from now on. However, we will have a full week of video watching from the 13th of July. So put that in your diary. We’ll also be putting up some extra activities through out the summer. While in August we’ll be putting out some of our best Stay Home activities translated in Irish for two weeks. So don’t miss that. Throughout the summer you can also go back on activities you might have missed to keep you entertained at home.
To mark the last week of the term we have an exciting photo competition on water conservation. Please see below.
