We have Been very fortunate to be one of 7 schools to receive ‘Free to be me’ Little Library of approximately 100 books.
Children’s Books Ireland aim to build a love of reading. The ‘Free to be me’ project enables our students see themselves reflected in a book, as well as learning about the lives of others, who’s experiences and perspectives might be different from their own. Here is just a sample of the books. The little library is on display on corridor 3. Each child in our school will also receive a book of their own to take home before Christmas.
Our students of the week are as follows:
Senior Infants : Ryder and Lily
1st class : Calvin and Adeline
2nd class : Daris and Zara
3rd class Mr Gallagher : Wade and Eva
3rd class Ms. Carroll : Lily and Bonnie
4th class : Monday
5th class #1 Hannah and Katie
5th class #2 Brax and Lacrindi
6th class : Conor and Katelyn
Congratulations to all of you. 🎉
Our sixth-class students are stepping up to get everyone moving with exciting activity breaks! Each day at 10 a.m., they lead us in a range of fun exercises aimed at keeping all classes active and engaged. Let the fun begin!
I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news—our school has officially joined the Active Flag initiative this year! The Active School Flag is an exciting program that aims to encourage physical activity and promote wellbeing for all of our students. Throughout the year, I will keep you updated on our journey to earn this prestigious flag. Let’s do this together!
We have had another great month and are making great strides at being ag caint as Gaeilge. Since we didn't have assembly this week I will put the pictures of our Gaeilgeoirí na míosa and also some videos of comhrá agus rannta.
We have also been very busy this week as it's maths week and we are learning all about 3D shapes. We made some shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.
Finally, after working very hard all week, our Clever Clogs table won table of the week and were delighted with their certificates.
Each class practice a set number of phrases (frasaí) each month and learn a song to perform at assembly.
Here is an example of some of the lovely songs the paistí have been learning.
Special Needs Assistants play a crucial role in supporting students with additional needs, and are at the heart of our schools.
We are so grateful for Ros, Kay, Carmel, Joanne, Stephen, Daniel, Rosie, Lyndsey, Ruwaida and Louise 🥰
The children work together with the volunteer team, to build a story which is published at the end of the day. This group of children have chosen to extend the story further over the next few days.
Welcome back to School everyone. It is wonderful to see all the children back at school. We welcome our new junior infants and all of the new children who are joining our school.
We especially welcome our new principal Anne Smith. If you see her, please make sure to come and say hello.
