Dear Parents,
Thank you:
We had a very informative guest speaker at our assemblies today, Children's nurse Clare Eaton, mother of Anna, Evie and Daisy. She gave the children some great advice for staying healthy. It would be great to discuss this as follow up at home. We are very appreciative of her time.
Book Fair:
Once again. I remind parents that the book fair will be open for business on Monday 28 November through to Wednesday 30 November from 8.40 to 9:00 am and in the afternoon from 2:00 to 3:15 pm. The children were able to visit today and some have spotted books that they are interested in.
School Council work to date:
Thank you for supporting the school council's pyjama day today. The children looked so cosy and had a great day. The amount raised is not finalised and an amount will be released when the final count is made.
The next piece of their work is to encourage families to donate food/ cleaning items to be donated to Newry Larder, Newry's only food back which has supported over 1000 local families this year. A post will follow detailing how donations can be made.
Santa Run & Journey to Santa:
To reinforce the message of incorporating exercise into our lives we will participate in the Santa Run organised as part of the Daily Mile initiative next Friday. Pupils are encouraged to wear Santa hats or Christmas hair/other accessory that day. Please do not wear Christmas jumpers as that will be held on a different day as part of School Council work.
To further promote the message the Eco council is encouraging families to participate in the 'Journey to Santa' event where children are encouraged to walk/scoot/ride and record their sustainable journeys to/from school. Details will follow.
Christmas celebrations:
This year P7 pupils will participate in a Nativity play to be held in the Assembly Hall. Their parents will be invited. The three P3 classes will also host individual class plays to be held in their own classrooms for their parents. Dates will be established and notified next week.
All other classes will record a Christmas carol/poem and will post it on Seesaw.
Should any parent wish to talk to me about this, please feel free to contact me.
Lovely news:
I am delighted to share the news that two of our teachers have recently welcomed new members into their families
Mrs Gallagher's baby son Hugh and
Mrs Aoife Mc Parland's baby daughter, Doireann.
And finally
I conclude by wishing you a great weekend
Yours in partnership,
Mrs Monaghan
