Family Fun Day

1/7/2016

 
Yesterday, on the last day of school, we had our biggest ever Family Fun Day. There were all kinds of attractions spread all around the school campus - from Fun Fair Activities like a putting green, bowling and Angry Birds, to bouncy castles, a reptile zoo and also demonstrations of our range of After-School Activities.
Well done to the children of Third Class who designed, made and ran all of the Fun Fair Activities - they worked really hard to ensure that everybody had an action-packed day. And thank you to the families who came along to support the day. What a great high to end the school year on!
From all of the staff at Citywest ETNS, we hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you back here on 31st August!

CoderDojo at Citywest ETNS

22/4/2016

Attention Parents and other members of our School Community!
​
We are in the process of exploring an exciting possible project for our school community. We are working with a corporate sponsor on establishing a CoderDojo here in our school. 

CoderDojo is a global movement of free, volunteer-led, community based programming clubs for young people. At a Dojo, young people, between 7 and 17, learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and explore technology in an informal and creative environment. In addition to learning to code attendees meet like minded people and are exposed to the possibilities of technology.

Within the CoderDojo Movement there is a focus on community, peer learning, youth mentoring and self led learning,  with an emphasis on showing how coding is a force for change in the world.


For more on CoderDojo, visit their website here.

We hope to establish one of these extra-curricular coding clubs here in our school. In order for this goal to be realised, our first challenge is to acquire a set of laptops, on which to teach the coding lessons. We are currently working on this.

But more important than the devices themselves are volunteers who can help at the club each week, to guide and teach the children as they learn to code. There will be experts on hand to lead the sessions, but we need more adults to ensure that each child gets maximum benefit from the class.

Are you familiar with coding (even very basic coding)? Would you be prepared to donate an hour of your time each week, towards helping young people in our school community to learn to code?

We have not yet allocated a day or time for this club. If you are interested in helping out, please complete the form below. Once we have secured the necessary laptops, we will be in touch with you to try to find a time that is suitable to all volunteers.

If you are not familiar with coding, but you have a friend or family member who is, and who might be prepared to help out, please let them know about this exciting initiative.

    I would like to volunteer at Citywest ETNS CoderDojo

Irish dancing after-school class added to our programme!

4/9/2014

 
Following requests from parents for a dance class as part of our after-school programme, we are pleased to announce that Elaine Byrne of Scoil Rince Ni Bhrion is joining us to provide an after-school Irish dance class in Citywest ETNS! The class will run on Fridays. Please see our After-school page for details.


Remember that you can sign up for this or for any of our after-school classes via our online booking page!

Separate Capoeira classes for Juniors and Seniors!

3/9/2014

 
We are very happy to draw to your attention a slight change to our after-school schedule...
Capoeira for Junior Infants will now be on Tuesdays.

This means that there is an after-school class available for every child in the school on each day Monday to Thursday and that Thursday is the only day you have to choose between two classes - Spanish and keyboard!

It also means that there are separate after-school classes for Junior Infants and Senior Infants for both Capoeira and Speech and Drama, which not only gives smaller class sizes but also means that more children can be accommodated and that each class can be better tailored to the needs of the children involved.

Capoeira and Speech and Drama for Junior Infants will be held in the reception hall rather than the PE hall so it is a lot less climbing for our littlest ones at the end of a day's work!

Over the coming week, many of the after-school providers will come in and do a demonstration for the children so that they will know what they would do at each class, should they join. We have had great feedback on our programme and we look forward to hearing joyous and varied sounds in the afternoons!
