Mid-term Break

A reminder that school will be closed next week for the mid-term break from Monday, 27th October through Friday, 31st October.  We hope everyone has a relaxing and safe break.

 

Fire Safety Visit

We were delighted to welcome a fire brigade to the school on Tuesday.  They came with the engine, all the children got to test out the fire hose and they were able to sit inside the fire engine and try on the fire helmets.  Our theme for Aistear will be the fire station, and we will talk more about fire safety next month.  Thanks to Joe and the rest of the brigade for the great visit!  Pictures from the visit can be found here.

 

Halloween

Today we had a small Halloween party.  The costumes were great fun.  Many thanks to the parents for such great efforts.  We had a very pleasant party with healthy snacks (banana and coconut ghosts and iced pumpkin rice cakes!)

 

After-school Clubs

Two of the after-school clubs started this week.  They will continue after the break.  Visual Art on Tuesdays with Sylvia will begin on Tuesday, 4th November.  Children should register for the seven sessions between now and the end of the term.  The fee is €42 and should be paid at the first session.

 

Board of Management

The election for the parent nominees for the Board of Management will take place after we return from break.  Paper ballots will be given to each family, and they should be returned no later than Monday, 10th November.
