Golden Book - 16th October 2020

Every Friday morning, our classes join together on Zoom for assembly. We used to love going to assembly in our school hall, so it is brilliant to still be able to come together (virtually!) each week. 

For the month of October, the Learn Together value which we are celebrating is safety. Wait until you read about all of the wonderful actions our pupils have done throughout the week to keep themselves and others safe: 

• Well done to Oscar in Amy's Class - when another pupil was tidying up at golden time and they dropped something, Oscar helped them to pick it up and then proceeded to finish tidying up for them. Thanks for showing great kindess Oscar!
• Oisin in Emer's 1st class sneezed and then immediately sanitised his hands. This was a very mature and safe thing to do.
• Callie  in Andrea's 2nd class picked up a large stone on the basketball courts & returned it to the flower area outside the courts. Someone could have twisted their ankle on it and Callie acted with safety in mind. Good job!
• James in Ruth Mc's Junior Infants has been showing us all how to sit safely in our chairs this week. He always sits up straight and tall in his seat and has his 4 chair legs on the ground. He also did a very special job for us this week and put an X beside an absent child's name on the red rolla. How fantastic!
• Millie stood back to let a teacher through the door. She also greeted her teacher with a big smile! Well done Millie!
• Arda in Sarah L's class did great work as a pod leader this week. Arda maintained distance and walked so safely in the line. Great job Arda!
• Sophia in 4th class is always careful to check her social distance. Well done Sophia!
• Kinga is always so happy and cheerful in school. She always has a big smile on her face and helps to brighten everyone's day!
• Marcel in Laura's Senior Infant class always makes good choices when standing and walking in his line, he keeps himself and other around him safe.
• Khadijah demonstrated safety at tidy-up time by stacking the Jaego Blocks neatly and securely. Thank you, Khadijah!
• Matthew in 2nd class has been careful to keep a safe distance between his own group and the other pods in the line.
• Theo is always very safe, as he listens carefully to instructions and always walks safely around the classroom and school.
• Hadiya and Oisin from Emer's 1st class sneezed into their elbows which was a safe choice to make.
• Lucas, Dhruv, Laith, Zoe, Conor, Borys - fixing the barriers on the yard when they had been moved, without being asked to!
• Well done to Aoife's 4th class for always making sure that the gates are closed behind them when they finish yard, so that the yard is safe for the next group of students.
• Victoria in 3rd Class let another pupil know when their bag was not left in a safe place in the classroom.
• ​Nico in Sarah C's class waited safely when he saw a class going up the stairs ahead of him.
• Aaliyah, also in 3rd class - when another pupil fell in the line she stopped with them to check that they were OK.
• Well done to Grace in 3rd class, who always offers to help in the classroom. This week she offered to tidy the floor using the sweeping brush. She even remembered to clean her hands before and after using the brush.
• Jackson and Daniel R for being very safe and picking up an earring off yard.
• Lexie in Martha's class has been very safe in the line this week. Well done Lexie!
