Welcome Back
We would like to welcome you all back after the mid-term break and hope you enjoyed your time off. Please continue to encourage your children to adhere to the Covid Rules as we are now in Level 5.
P.E.
As P.E. has changed to Mondays this term, please remember to wear PE clothes and runners on that day.
Clothes Collection
Bags of clothes /shoes/handbags may be left in the school for collection on Wednesday 4th November. Money will be used for lunchtime toys and equipment.
Christmas Cards
We have registered for the Christmas Cards for Schools – we hope to create them this week-if you would like to help your child design a card – this could be done instead of Oral Homework on Wednesday evening – they can be coloured/ decorated in school on Thursday.

Thank you to those who have sent in their Book Rental Money. €60 per child is due before the end of November. Some Brennan Insurance is still outstanding, please forward €5.30 per child asap.
Junior Room
The Junior room enjoyed learning about the Farm and Farmers’ Markets in October. This term they are looking forward to learning about People Who Help us in Our Hospitals.
Senior Room
The Seniors have been learning about Life in Australia. In November they will learn about life in Ancient and Modern Greece.
Parent Teacher Meetings
Due to the current situation we are unable to hold our parent teacher meetings as usual in November. If you have any concerns about your child/children’s academic progress or any other concerns you wish to discuss with us, please phone after 3pm to arrange an appointment.
Healthy Eating
We encourage the children to continue with healthy lunchboxes. Well done to all the children who are continuing to bring lots of fruit and vegetables every day. Some healthy snacks that we encourage include wraps, pasta, sandwiches, bread sticks, rice cakes, crackers, yoghurts, fruit, vegetables, cheese and cream crackers. Treat day is on Fridays, where a small treat of a biscuit/sweets/chocolate/crisps is allowed. Please do not send them during the rest of the week.
