Look who made the cover of The Echo Life magazine!

We invited Joe, the photographer from The Echo, to our school for Play Hour on Tuesday. He captured the vibrancy, fun and learning that takes place during this special time in our day.

We see the children wholly engaged in books, learning about engineering as they build castles and rockets, embracing their imagination by turning a cardboard box into any number of exciting places, dressing up as super-heroes, cowboys, pirates and more and using Maths skills in making jigsaws and practicing being shopkeeper and customer!

Through play, our pupils develop their language and their social skills, their self confidence and their friendships! 

This is a lovely celebration of this important time in their learning.

There is a lovely two-page spread about our school in The Echo today, with a beautiful photo of two of our pupils on the cover of the Life mag. Try to pick up a copy! We'll post a link once the online version is available!

We are taking enrolments for all years, up to 2017! As our enrolment policy is
strictly first-come-first-served, we recommend that you pre-enrol your child as
early as possible.

All prospective parents, most
particularly those whose children are due to start school in September 2013, are
most welcome to visit the school, meet the staff, have a look around our
beautiful building and pre-enrol your child. Even if you have already
pre-enroled your child, please feel welcome to come and meet us.


Letting us know in advance of your visit means
that we can set time aside to meet with you. You are, however, welcome to visit
without an appointment. Hopefully we will be able to meet with you and, if not,
we can arrange a more suitable time for you to come
back!

An information meeting will be arranged
in the spring for parents who have accepted places for their children. We prefer
to meet prospective parents individually as that allows us to answer your
questions and for you to get to know us on a personal
level!

We look forward to meeting with you!

We will be having an Information Meeting for parents and guardians on Wednesday 10th
October 2010. 
 
It will be a chance for you to find out about the teaching and learning that happens in your child’s
class and how you can support your child’s learning at home. You will also get  to meet the teachers working with your child. 
 
The Senior  Infant meeting is at 8.40am on  Wednesday 10th October.
The Junior Infant meeting is at 9.00am on Wednesday 10th October.

We look forward to seeing you then.

Our photo proofs have arrived from the photographer and will go home today. Our children have beautiful smiles!

Order forms for the County Photos picture of your child/their class are now in the children’s bags. Correct money and the form for orders should please go into the envelope provided and can come back to Caitríona, Ross or Aoife before Thursday 11th October 2012.

Why not encourage your child to be responsible for giving this back to us and build up their independence?


There is, of course, no obligation to buy.
