First Class Room 7: Planting Nasturtium Seeds with Dylan

Today was our last day with transition year pupil Dylan McClean. First Class had been extra lucky with Dylan, because we got to spend two Mondays with him. Today in our science lesson we planted nasturtium seeds with Dylan. Before we planted the seeds Dylan helped An Grúpa Gorm, An Grúpa Buí and An Grúpa Dearg to brainstorm the things that that plant seeds need to grow. With Dylan’s help they decided that seeds best grow when the following conditions are present: water soil sunlight air For more photos of the children working Dylan please click here. The staff and children of Citywest & Saggart CNS are extremely grateful to Dylan for choosing to spend his work placement with us. His polite, courteous and diligent manners have been a wonderful exemplar to all of the budding young learners in Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class. A special thank you from the teachers for the delicious Thorntons chocolates! Please come back to visit us sometime...
