Dear Parents/Guardians,
Gaelic Football
Our boys’ team played their final group game last Friday. We thank them all for their great efforts this year. Thanks to Felim and Mrs Kennedy for training the team this year.
Our girls’ team have reached the semi-final which is a fantastic achievement. They are playing in Bective GFC this Wednesday against Mulhussey at 12 Noon – leaving the school at 11.15am. Please arrange a lift for your child if you can’t attend yourself. Gum shields compulsory.
Swimming
Swimming continues with the pupils in 3rd-6th class tomorrow. It was cancelled last week. The final session (to make up for last week’s cancellation) will now take place on Friday November 7th after the Halloween break. Payment can be made through Aladdin or if you want to pay by cash, please put into an envelope with your child’s name on it and hand into the office.
Mindfulness
The children in 3rd-6th class will have their third Mindfulness lesson this Thursday. Payment for these lessons can be paid via the Aladdin link or if you want to pay by cash, please put into an envelope with your child’s name on it and hand into the office.
Skryne Ladies Intermediate Team
We would like to thank the members of the Skryne Ladies Intermediate team who visited the school last Thursday with the cup. We were particularly proud of our past pupils Colleen, Aine and Ciara who visited the school. Nicola took a great selection of photographs which will be uploaded to the school website in the next week or so. Thanks to Fiona for providing the boxes of sweets for the occasion.
‘Boost to Literacy’
Our ‘Boost to Literacy’ initiative with the pupils in 2nd class is going very well. Please get your child to read their book to you on a daily basis and please sign the Reading Record sheet daily also.
Teacher Placement Training
Heather Sullivan will be doing her Teaching Placement in 5th/6th class over the next few weeks and we wish her the best of luck!
Maths Week
This week we are celebrating Maths Week. All classes will be doing a variety of interesting maths activities. Please log onto www.mathsweek.ie for activities that you may be able to do at home with your child/children.
Road Safety
All classes will be visited this Wednesday by a Road Safety Promotion Officer to highlight the potential dangers for children when they are cycling/walking on our roads.
Interactive Feature Show “Space Shapes”
This Friday 17th October we have an interactive feature show “space shapes” coming to the school. All children will get to go into a dome and they get to watch a short interactive film inside the dome. This also links in with science week. The cost is €3 per child which can be paid via the Aladdin link or cash in an envelope with your child’s name on it.
Is Mise,
Seamus Tansley
