Daniel’s JI having great fun exploring different ways to problem solve with the new maths curriculum 😊

Both 2nd classes have begun literacy power hour twice a week and are enjoying reading, writing and word work stations.

We are absolutely delighted to open our beautiful outdoor classroom set under a lovely sycamore tree, with bark surface, log seating, rustic kitchen and locker of resources. We are hugely grateful to Sorcha and Dee for their vision and follow through of this to creating such a grounding environment for children to enjoy learning. It wouldn’t have been made possible without Mick and his mighty energy and ability. Yesterday we had a simple opening to mark this, another milestone in making best use of our lovely school.

I’d also like to acknowledge the ongoing hard work of our PTA whose fundraising activities have fully covered the cost incurred to date of €800. It is a credit to the staff to have achieved what they have on this budget.

Please see details below of upcoming free workshop for parents who are grieving and supporting their children who are grieving.

Please see below some HSE supports for parents in relation to sex education for 4 to 12yr olds.

Please arrive to school on time as many classes are doing circle time and other learning activities at 8:40am, coming in later than this disrupts the whole class learning and means your child is missing out.
