The children have settled back at school. Now is the perfect time for the adults to make some time for themselves too.

Starting today, we have Aerobics with Angelica – every Wednesday at 9:20am in the hall.

Beginners English and English FETAC Level 3 also start today. Meet at Anna’s room at 9am. Classes will be every Tuesday and Wednesday 9:15 – 11:15 in Stanhope Street.

From Monday, we’ll be out walking at 9am too.

More classes coming soon – including Cookery and Bootcamp. Speak to Anna for more details.

Today at school we did a trail. In my group were Calvin, Ajay and I. We were called the “Funky Monkeys”.

We first started at the porch. Me,Ajay and Calvin took turns writing. We had to find Panda’s phone number and what colour was on Pinocchio’s bow and other stuff.

After we went into the yard we had to draw some stuff like benches,flower,lines and a metal bin. We also had to count the benches.

Finally we went to the P.E hall. We had to count the radiators and benches then add them together. We also had to count the electrical sockets and the blue notice boards.

Last we went back to the class and corrected them. I had a really great time.

Today in Mr Smyth’s Class we began our research on Vikings.

Here are some wonderful websites where you can find out lots of information about Vikings. For Homework we are continuing our research by looking through these websites!

There was a fantastic turnout for our first parent’s coffee morning in Anna’s room.

It was lovely to meet and chat to so many of you.

There was lots of valuable information shared and everyone is looking forward to getting started on different parent’s classes, especially the exercise classes, which will start next Wednesday at 9:20 in the hall with Angelica. We’ll also get out for morning walks again in the coming weeks – demand is high!

David also kindly shared information about the Men’s Group over at Aosóg – sounds like great fun. That’s on every Thursday morning from 10:00 – 12:00. The women’s group starts today, doing Stained Glass crafts for a few weeks.

There will also be English classes starting soon, so watch this space.

Thanks to all who made it in.

This week we looked back at the rules for capital letters. We also looked at other rules- our classroom charter. In P.E we did an obstacle course. In drama we performed the Tricky Most Show.

Today we started our viking project. We are very excited about the project.

Check back next week to find out more!

Back to school time for the kids means more time for parents during the day! Aosóg are back up and running their parent’s mornings.

You can drop into them on Prussia Street or call 01 – 8102122 for more information.

Here’s the leaflet.
