It was wonderful to welcome everyone back to school after the Easter holidays, all looking so relaxed and refreshed. With new signs of Spring and hope in the air, we look forward to a happy and healthy term ahead for us all. We congratulate everyone for all the great work they did during the post -Christmas lockdown and for keeping positive and having fun as evident from the video 4th class girls put together here below.

Advice for Parents

A huge well done and thank you to these girls who showed true kindness in creating fabulous pieces of art and selling them in their locality to raise money for the 6th Class charities Temple Street Hospital and Alone. They raised a staggering €160.35 for their efforts and we couldn't be prouder of them.

Fruzsina's Poem
Staying Positive During Covid

On Wednesday it was St. Patrick’s Day but the parade was cancelled off,
Because of stupid Covid, these times are really tough.

The hand washing and distancing, it all just rots my brain,
We need to be in sync, we need to do the same.

Same leads to good and good leads to great,
Do this for the world, this was all a big mistake.

We’re like a big family, we’re in this together
If we do as we’re supposed to,
This won’t last forever!

Wow! We were all so impressed with the fabulous display of colour, creativity and millinery talent that arrived in to school this morning for our Easter Bonnet Day. It lifted our spirits and created such a positive atmosphere this morning as well as raising much needed funds for this year's 6th Class charities, Temple Street Hospital and Alone. A huge well done to everyone and a big thank you to you all as well.

Bhí an seachtain againn ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge cé nach rabhamar in ann gach rud a dhéanamh mar is gnáth. As reflected here on our youtube video, we had a great week celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge ( Irish Week ) despite the current restrictions. Even though we stayed apart, it was a great week for us all.

While the Covid -19 pandemic had led to unprecedented disruptions in all aspects of life, it certainly hasn't stopped us from reading and here in school we continue to encourage everyone to read.
Thanks to the work and commitment of Mrs Parkinson, 6th class attended the online workshop with Mags Harnett entitled 'Depicting Diversity' which aims to celebrate diversity in our society and focus on the book 'Colour of People' as reflected in the pictures here:

Just a reminder that all payments to the school can be made through easy payments.

Thanks to the foresight and vision of Ms Doyle and the practical support from Ms Ni Fhaoláin, Ms Cumiskey, Ms Murray and Ms Boyd, we are all reaping the benefits from using Google Classroom and Google Meets in keeping us all connected during lockdown.
