Miss FairyElf was feeling festive in Cork today! She slipped into her Gingerbread Man outfit and decided to do some baking.
The kids were so excited that we joined in with some preschool baking fun too! 🎄
What should FairyElf bake next?

🎄 This morning’s antics… FairyElf is at it again! We walked in to find she’d stolen some decorations from the Christmas tree and decided toilet paper was the new tinsel! 🤭 She’s getting very mischievous! What will she do next?

Spidey swung by our Early Years classrooms again for Halloween! 🕸️
He stuck around to join in the fun, going trick-or-treating around campus and helping share out some sweet treats. 🎃
A friendly neighbourhood visit our little superheroes won’t forget!
Our horses are enjoying a well-deserved midterm break of their own!
Galloping through the open field, rolling in the grass, and making the most of the crisp autumn weather.
A little holiday full of fresh air, freedom, and happy neighs! 🐴
