March was a wonderfully busy and joy‑filled month in our Nursery Unit at St Joseph’s. We began by celebrating World Book Day, with children proudly bringing in their favourite stories to share. Together, we explored the different parts of a book—title, author, illustrator and blurb—and the boys and girls loved drawing the characters that captured their imaginations.

Our celebrations continued on Wear It Green Day, when the nursery was alive with Irish songs, jigs and plenty of laughter. A real highlight was the fabulous performance from our talented Primary Two pupils, which had all the little ones clapping along.

As spring arrived, the children turned their attention to new life on the farm, discovering how animals grow and change. This led beautifully into our Baby topic, inspired by the exciting arrival of several new babies within our nursery families—a lovely, real-life link for the children.

We were also delighted to welcome Antrim Play Ball, who delivered energetic and engaging sessions throughout the month. These activities helped the children develop their fundamental movement skills while learning to work cooperatively in pairs and small teams.

It has been a month bursting with curiosity, creativity and celebration—and we can’t wait for all that the next term will bring!
