Dear Parents/Guardians,

Bí Cineálta

I met with a parent focus group to begin looking at the new guidance on preventing and dealing with bullying. We discussed the impact of bullying on bully/bullied and bystanders, and in greater detail, ways in which we prevent bullying. Please see below

New Maths Curriculum

Staff are busy familiarising ourselves with developments in maths and trialling some new practices.

Road Safety Crew

We are very grateful to the parents who have been helping with the implementation of our guidance for motorists and others this week. You have been very impactful! Just to clarify, with a couple of ALC exceptions, any motorists coming in the gate, please use the area in the photo below, as set-down only.

Support our local GAA Club

As you may know the Na Fianna Senior Hurling team are in the All-Ireland Hurling Club final in Croke Park this Sunday at 1:30pm. This is the first time Na Fianna’s senior hurling team have reached this stage of the competition. To show our support for the team the children are invited to wear blue and yellow tomorrow, Friday.

And More!

Daniel’s JI having great fun exploring different ways to problem solve with the new maths curriculum 😊

Both 2nd classes have begun literacy power hour twice a week and are enjoying reading, writing and word work stations.

Reminders:

  • School closure at 12pm on Friday, 14th March 2025 for staff training.
  • School closure on May 7th for Maths training.
  • If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them at home until they are feeling better.
  • When dropping or collecting your child early/late to/from school please ensure you close the pedestrian gate securely on your way in and out of the school.


Frása na Seachtaine:


“Slán go fóill! Slán!” ” – “Bye for now! Bye!”


Le meas
