“Winter is the time for comfort,
for good food and warmth,
for the touch of a friendly hand
and for a talk beside the fire:
it is the time for home."

Principals Update 24/11/23
Dear Parents,
Successful Pyjama Day.
Thank you for supporting the school council's pyjama day fundraiser. Your children looked wonderful and incredibly comfy and cosy. Funds raised have not yet been counted - this information will follow.
School Admissions Information.
As per app message sent out last night EA Connect will open for applications to pre-school and primary school for the school year beginning September 2024 to June 2025 on Tuesday 9 January 2024 at 12 noon. Please spread this information to anyone you know who is hoping to have their child attend our nursery or primary 1 class in September. Pupils attending Nursery currently still need to complete an application form for P1.
First Friday Mass.
This will be celebrated in St Mary's Church next Friday 1st December @9.30 am. The liturgy will be led by P4 pupils. We look forward to this very much.
Reminder re mobile phones.
Any parent that needs his/her child to take a mobile phone to school to facilitate pick up arrangements at home time etc is asked to remind the child that the phone must be handed to the class teacher at the start of the day for safe keeping. The child must ask the teacher for it at the end of the day.
Any phone found in school, that has not been given to the teacher, will be confiscated and the parent will have to come up to school to redeem it.
SEAG exam.
All our P7 pupils have worked very hard in term 1 at their core curricular work in Literacy and Numeracy, whether they were intending to sit the SEAG exam or not. The second exam will take place tomorrow and we look forward to engaging in a wider P7 curriculum when the children return to school on Monday. One of their exciting opportunities will be to prepare the P7 Christmas Nativity play, which will no doubt be a treat for us all. I congratulate our P7 pupils on their first term in P7, they are 'shaping up very nicely' in their role as Pupil leaders.
Seesaw and homework.
We have had a problem with Seesaw in some classes, so if your child's homework has not been uploaded today, it is a technical problem which we hope to have solved ASAP. Apologies as I know that lots of you make a good start on homework over the weekend.
I wish you all a happy weekend,
Yours in partnership,
Mrs Monaghan



Important
NUT ALLERGIES
Please do not send any types of foods containing any type of nuts into school for lunches as we have children with severe nut allergies. These items include biscuits and bars with a nutella type filling or croissants containing hazlenuts or any other types of nuts.
We cannot allow products in school if the label states; "may contain traces of nuts."
Food containing any types of nut product will have to be confiscated.
Can all parents please check the labels on food being sent into school to ensure there are no traces of nuts.
We have been advised by the Allergy Nurse not to accept Horse Chestnuts / Conkers.
Please help keep children safe while in St Clare's Abbey.
Prosimy nie dawacać dzieciom do szkoły żadnych rodzajów żywności zawierających jakiekolwiek orzechy, ponieważ mamy dzieci z silnymi alergiami na orzechy. Artykuły te obejmują herbatniki i batoniki z nadzieniem typu nutella lub rogaliki zawierające orzechy laskowe lub jakikolwiek inny rodzaj orzechów.
Żywność zawierająca wszelkie rodzaje orzechów będzie musiała zostać skonfiskowana.
