Student Council
Last week we gave the opportunity to pupils in 3rd to 6th class to present their ideas for the student council. We got amazing feedback from the pupils and it was great to hear their ideas. It was very difficult to decide who would be on the first student council of the year but in the end the following pupils made it on the council – Amy, Jay Jay, Brooke and Thomas. We look forward to working in partnership with the pupils for the benefit of the school.
Parents’ Association A.G.M.
The annual Parents’ Association A.G.M. takes place on Monday October 21st at 8.00p.m. in the school. I have been kindly invited to this meeting and look forward to answering questions from parents/guardians on the night.
Maths Week
We will be celebrating Maths Week in the school this week. All classes will be going a variety of interesting activities during the week. There are a number of interesting websites under ‘Links’ on the school website that you can use with your children at home. If you come across any interesting websites please let us know and we can put them up on the school website.
Yoga and Computers
The final yoga and computer lessons take place this week. We would like to thank Deidre and Colm for their enthusiasm in preparing interesting and challenging lessons for the last few weeks. We hope they will be back later in the year.
Halloween Fancy Dress
On Friday October 25th we would like to invite parents/guardians to the school from 9.15 to 10.00a.m. for our annual Fancy Dress. We would encourage all children to dress up and get into the spirit of Halloween. All classes will perform a song/poem for parents/guardians. We are also having a Pumpkin Competition. In the days leading up to October 25th parents/guardians can assist their children in designing a pumpkin at home. These pumpkins will be brought into school on October 25th. There will be small prizes for the top three pumpkins in each class. All children will be going home at 1.40p.m. The school will re-open after the mid-term break on November 4th.
