This term we are hoping to restructure one of the spaces in the school to be used as a multi-purpose room. Our aim is to create a space which is calm, quiet, comfortable and available to any child that may need a break from the hustle and bustle of the school day and avail of some down-time. We are so grateful for the support you gave for our Easter raffle which the Student Council organised before the holidays. This raffle raised an amazing €1241 and we will use this money now to cover the cost of repurposing the space for use as a "downtime/sensory room" . Without the monies raised and your support , we would not be in a position to be able to consider doing this. The aim here always is to use all the space we have within the school to benefit all our pupils.
In terms of equipment then, we would like to ask for some donations if you happen to have any of the items on the list we have compiled. It is important that items are in very good condition, clean and suitable for school use.
Examples of the items we are hoping to put in the space are:
- Lava lamps
- Large beanbags
- Peanut/therapy ball
- Balance cushion
- Board games (with all the pieces)
- Fidgets
- Sensory body sock
- Balance board
- Sensory books
- Sandbox
- Sensory toys
- Art books and crayons (new)
- Magnetic tiles
- Tent
- Play doh tubs (new,unopened)
- Teddies (new )
- Jigsaws (with all the pieces)
- Set of foam floor tiles
- Lego
- Weighted blankets
- Hammock
- Mini trampoline
- Kinetic sand (new,unopened)
We will be buying some resources ourselves but if you have any of the items listed above and no longer have use for it, we would be very grateful of the donation
Thank you in advance for your support
