Hi everyone,

Today a parental Involvement day. We have parents coming into the classes, from 1st to 6th, throughout the day. This will involve talks, demos or experiments. .

Wednesday is Coding Day. Junior and Senior Infants will be working in a bee bot room, with parent helpers. 1st to 4th will be using the laptops/iPads for coding with parent volunteers or Paula. 5th and 6th class will be having a 'bring your own device day'(phones, lap tops, ipads, etc.) Sumit and Praveen will be helping out in these classes.

The projects will be inspected by the judges on Thursday so if the children have any work to be printed, please have them emailed to me by tomorrow.

Thanks,

Colum

Hi everyone,

Can I ask parents to please check and sign their child's test copies. I'm still waiting on a number of them to be returned.

This Friday is dress up day for Halloween. There is also a cake sale so please bring in some baked goods and a few euro to support the school.

Thnaks,

Hi everyone,

The times for the P/T were supposed to go home today but other teachers came to me at the end of the day wanting to change the times of some siblings. We have it sorted now so they'll go home in the their school bags tomorrow. I will have two early morning slots (8.00-815 and 8.15-8.30) available on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for those of you who cannot see me after school. Just send me an email or write on the letter the time that suits best.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

First of all I'd like to congratulate Lochlan, August, Vedh and Narottam who came in 2nd place at the All Ireland Mini Scientist competition on Friday. This is a fantastic achievement as there were 5000 entries in the competition. This is a massive achievement for the boys and they were presented their award by The Minister of Education Richard Bruton. The photo is in the front hall of the school if you'd like to have a look.

I'll be sending home the timetable for the parent/teacher meetings tomorrow. Please let me know ASAP if the time does not suit and I'll do my very best to accommodate everybo.

Chat soon,

This week we are learning all about WW1, so if any of you have some interesting artifacts at home we'd love to see them.
