Thank you parents and Version1
Dear parents and guardians
Thank you so much for your generous contributions to our fundraising lately. This has been supplemented by Irish ICT company Version1 (through their Community First initiative), and this has helped us equip three classrooms with amazing interactive whiteboards – please see a video from the children here. Thank you to all involved!
Merry Christmas
Wishing you and all your families a safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.
Please remember to complete the Safe Return to School Questionnaire when you return to school in January.
School re-opens at 8.50am, January 6th.
You can download a copy of the questionnaire here: Return to School Questionnaire Jan 2020
Best wishes,

Our Christmas Advent Calendar
Christmas is a magical time of year and First Class have been enjoying all of the fun and celebrations. To help us count down to Christmas Day we made a classroom Advent Calendar. Every morning we lift a number on our Advent Calendar and complete the fun Christmas activity underneath. We sure have been busy in First Class doing lots of fun activities including playing Christmas games, listening to Christmas songs and telling Christmas jokes. There were lots of laughs and giggles coming from our classroom! Here our some of our favourite jokes:
What does a snowman travel on? An icicle!
Who delivers presents to cats at Christmas time? Santa Paws!
What is green, covered in tinsel and goes ribbit ribbit? Mistle-toad!
Panto, popcorn and no uniform!
