Dear Parents
The time is literally flying! The boys are working hard on our June focus of a) manners, using people’s names etc. and b) eye contact. Senior classes are busy doing their summer tests. The standard of essays being written from 4th to 6th is very impressive. All their reading is really paying off.
There is much excitement about the World Cup and even more about the Mini All Irelands taking place in Kilmacud this week (and hurling last week). I was delighted to watch the boys play their matches yesterday – hundreds of our boys! It is some sight to see the Under 6’s negotiating their matches with much excitement and enthusiasm. It was great to see some of our 5th class boys managing teams so ably. Well done boys! Well done to all our boys who also took part in the Mini World Cup competition in soccer at the weekend.
Miss Ní Ghabhann’s class put on a performance of a play, songs, and poems for their parents in the hall today. They did a great job. Well done to the boys and Miss Ní Ghabhann for all her hard work preparing them for there stage performance.
The 4th class lunchtime league will finish tomorrow . Thanks to Mr. O’Donovan and Mr Devlin for all their work.
Our new Junior Infants were welcomed into their September classrooms today, by their teachers, Mrs. Burke, Ms. Hennessy and Mrs. O’Brien. Thanks to the Parents Association for putting on tea and coffee for the parents, who were more anxious than the boys!
Thank you to our Parents Association Committee who have been so busy getting everything ready for our Art Exhibition which will take place next week (Please see overleaf for further information). Thanks to Ms. Daly who has been organizing the teachers and boys for the event.
We love to declutter in this school so this is an unusual request! Could you search your attic or elsewhere and ask family friends and neighbours for copies of the now out of print “Busy at Maths” 3, 4, 5, and 6. We would love a set for each of these standards.
The gardaí have been monitoring traffic and parking outside the school over the past two weeks. We have a one way system (which we hope will be official and signposted). Please observe this system. Parking near the lollipop lady and crossing is not allowed. Please do not park at the school entrance at pick-up time. This is exactly where the junior and senior infants are handed over to their parents.
Parents – please monitor your children at pick-up times – some boys are putting themselves in danger climbing tress beside the car park.
Because we now have so many interactive whiteboards we have a few surplus televisions. They are quite large. St. Vincent de Paul will not take them so if you would be interested, please let the office know.
Reminder: Dun Laoghaire Rathdown are running an ECO Summer School (for over 5years of age). It will be held in Archbishop McQuaid N.S. in Loughlinstown. Contact:01-2054817
TESCO TOKENS – we are still collecting tokens. Next week is the last week!!!! If you have any at home please ask the boys to bring them in.
Yours sincerely,
Helen Kelly
