Nutrition Workshop for Parents

The second of two Nutrition Workshops for parents took place in the Parents’ Room on Monday. Participants learned about portion sizes, sugary drinks, dealing with fussy eaters, and even tried some simple and healthy treats that children can get involved with cooking.

The workshop was very informative, interesting, interactive, and most of all helpful for parents of young children, whether they are fussy eaters or not.

Huge thanks to the DCU Nutrition and Dietetics students who facilitated the workshops.

More information and the recipes are available from Anna – just drop in and ask for them.

Junior and Senior Infants Library

Junior and Senior Infants have started visiting the school library. It has been fantastic to have so many parents come in to help the children choose a book to take home.

While visiting the school library, the children are learning through the experience how a library works – how to borrow and return books and how to use their library cards.

The children are so enthusiastic about the visits to the library. They love talking about their books. Reading for fun is so important in helping the children develop a good attitude and love of reading, and there are so many lovely books to choose from in the school library.

Big thanks to everyone involved for making it such a success already.
