June Newsletter 2022
We are nearing the end of a busy 2021/22 school year – our first full year in 3 years. The senior pupils have produced a wide variety of projects based on life during The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Celts, The Land of Saints and Scholars, The Vikings, The Egyptians, The Incas in Peru, Rocks and Soils, The Physical Geography of Ireland, Scandinavian Countries, Ukraine, Peru, The Amazon Rainforest. The junior room pupils have had exciting Aistear adventures based on camping, pirates, the zoo, school, space, the cafe, Christmas at the Post Office, sports shop, garden centre, the estate agent. We have enjoyed trips to Muckno Adventure Centre, The Marble Arch Caves, The National Museum of Ireland, Dublinia, (Burger King), a local Nature Walk and we are looking forward to visiting Air-tastic in Craigavon next week.
The junior room are having a teddy bear’s picnic tomorrow Wednesday 15th and teddies are invited.
We hope to bring the junior room to Erica’s Fairy Forest on Monday 20th June. Take a packed lunch and coat if needed.
Wednesday the 22nd 6th class are going on a mystery tour. Bring a packed lunch and a coat/sun cream – weather dependant.
All the children have worked hard at improving their literacy and numeracy skills over the year. We have also been encouraging our positive emotions through the Weaving Well Being Programme and keeping active through a wide variety of P.E. activities including soccer, rounders, swimming, dancing, GAA and athletic skills.
Thank you parents for your support of the pupils and school throughout the year. We hope we will have a dry and maybe even warm night for our BBQ next Tuesday evening. Please invite any families, friends or grandparents who may like to come along on the evening.
