Dear Parents and Guardians/A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Go raibh maith agat a thuismitheoirí

A huge thank you to the parents (Colin, Christine and Rosie) who took the time over the past few weeks to clean and tidy the Servery. Its hugely helpful and appreciated.  Thanks to Claire and co. for getting stuck into Art Day prep with the clear out of the PTA shed.  The ongoing work of many parents in the running of the library is also hugely appreciated.

Fair play to all involved in organising a table quiz for next Saturday.  This will raise funds for

• Reconfiguration of AET spaces for September as we reach full capacity and fill our last classroom with a year group of children.

Hope fully there will be great turnout and much fun had by all.  See below notice re Quiz from PTA.

Outdoor Classroom Update

We are delighted to have our Outdoor Classroom open for use this term. Many thanks to Mick, our Caretaker for his help with the final preparations, including preparing the log seats and making an amazing mud kitchen and to Dee and Sorcha for all their work in making this happen!  Over the next few months children will have opportunities to learn outside in this magical space.

Reminder:

 Please arrive to school on time as many classes are doing circle time and other learning activities at 8:40am, coming in later than this disrupts the whole class learning and means your child is missing out.

• Please use Park ‘n Stride on Griffith Avenue passed Ballygall Road junction.

Seo é Frása na Seachtaine:

An bhfaca tú an cluiche aréir? Chonaic mé/ ní fhaca mé.

Did you see the match last night? I saw it/ I didn’t see it.
