During favourable weather, the students walk up to the garden, where they meet with Olive Quin from the committee of the Amenity Park. They spend time weeding, pruning and planting. They have extended the Wildflower Area which last years\u2019 TY students started and is a great attraction for a variety of butterflies and bees.<\/p>\n<p>The students are working on some stimulating designs for a Meandering Sensory Path. The designs will engage the senses of sight and touch, as well as developing motor skills, hand-eye coordination and a source of mindfulness.<\/p>\n<p>They have linked up with St Hilda\u2019s Services, Moate over Zoom, to arrange some activities with their service users.<\/p>\n<p>The students currently involved in the Sensory Garden project are Se\u00e1n Donnelly, Conor Duffy, Shaun Kerrigan, Aisling Murphy, Darragh Nally and Chenai-Ashley Ward. The group are working with Ms Emer Gaffey and some of the students in the Uisneach Center, as part of their Working in the Community programme. All these activities are co-ordinated by Ms Margaret Mandal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sensory Garden, a Work in Progress with Moate TY Students The Sensory Garden at D\u00fan Na S\u00ed Amenity Park continues [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4890,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[135],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/moatecs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Rian-Caulwell-Darragh-Nulty-Shaun-Kerrigan-Conor-Duffy-preparing-wooden-pieces-for-the-Sensory-Path.jpg?fit=3975%2C2633&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4889"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4889"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4889\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4889"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4889"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moatecs.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4889"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
