Junior Entrepreneur Programme 2022

 

Junior Entrepreneur Programme |

This year, 5th and 6th classes will be participating in the Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP). The Junior Entrepreneur Programme is a 16-week entrepreneurial education programme for children in 5th and 6th classes. Developed in Ireland, this innovative programme opens the minds of pupils to the joy of entrepreneurship while developing a number of skills including literacy, writing, presentation, drawing, technology, research skills, numeracy, financial, consumer awareness, storytelling, listening skills, creative thinking, problem solving, team building and collaboration skills.

During the programme the children taking part propose a number of ideas, with one of these being chosen as a class business.

The programme also has a significant impact on building confidence, self-awareness and self-esteem, and an appreciation of individual skills and talents of each child.

We kickstarted JEP in the school on 25th Novemeber by raising the ‘JEP 2022 participating school’ flag.

Check out the Junior Entrepreneur Programme website for more information. www.juniorentrepreneur.ie/howitworks/

Halloween Dress-up Day for Childline

Our annual Halloween Dress-Up Day for Childline took place on Friday 22nd October. Well done to
all the children for dressing up – everyone put in a huge effort and there were some very scary
characters walking around the school that day! A total of €119 was raised for Childline and has been sent to this very worthwhile charity.

 

Team Hope Shoebox Appeal

Well done to everyone who brought in boxes for this year’s Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal.
Team Hope delivers Christmas boxes right into the hands of children in the most remote and poorest parts of the world and these Christmas boxes may be the only thing these children receive this
Christmas. An amazing 45 boxes were collected from our school this year for needy children in
Africa, Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union

Our new Junior Infants

 

A warm welcome all our students returning to school and hope everyone had a lovely summer.

We hope they will find the transition to “big school” very smooth and wish them many happy years here

Chips from our school garden!

The middle classroom planted seed potatoes last term, and harvested those potatoes during their first week back at school this September. They then enjoyed the fruits of the labour – lovely chunky chips for a Friday treat! Thanks to Mrs. McManus for preparing the chips for everyone in the school.
