Grandparents’ Day

Grandparents’ day will take place on February 1st in the school. This will begin at 11.10am. Grandparents will be shown to relevant classrooms and an activity (card playing, story telling, board games, making St. Brigid crosses) will be organised. If any grandparent wishes to bring any item from their schooldays i.e. a school copy, book, photo, this would be very interesting for the children. Some children may not have Grandparents available to come on Wednesday. As the children will remain in their classrooms they will have an opportunity to interact with the Grandparents attending. We will have a cup of tea afterwards.

Parents Association Quiz

The Parents Association will run their annual Quiz on Friday 17th February at 8pm in the school. This is always a great fun night – bring your cousins and friends! The format is teams of 4 with a maximum of 1 adult per team though an adult is not essential on the team. John Holland has kindly agreed to make out the questions and be the table master for the night.

The money raised from the quiz is used to fund a water based sporting activity for 6th class each year.

If anyone would like to donate a spot prize this would be much appreciated.

Green Schools

Children are continuing to work creating their outdoor classroom using logs as seats and they are painting the top of the logs. If you have anything we can upcycle and add to our garden please let us know. Thanks to those who have sent in logs.

Tomorrow is our last day for Friends for Life. We have concluded our lessons and, as the children have worked very hard, they have learned you should reward yourself. Therefore tomorrow 3rd class will their class party after lunch.
