We were all delighted to finally have live entertainment back in our school on Jan 14th. Liberty Travelling Panto performed ‘Aladdin’ in our school hall. It was very enjoyable show with loads of laughter and a lot of screaming – Oh yes there was! ?
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.
The children are taking part in the “Active Breaks Challenge” for a month from the 8th November to the 4th December as part of our work towards the Active Schools Flag. Children are involved in 3 /4 short active breaks between the scheduled breaks throughout the day. Active Bodies = Active Minds!
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.
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
A warm welcome all our students returning to school and hope everyone had a lovely summer. We would like to extend a special welcome to our new Junior Infants – Ruairí, Noelle, Amelia, Daniel, Tommy, Evan and Tadhg. We hope they will find the transition to “big school” very smooth and wish them many happy years here
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.
