Sports Day 2021
We had a most enjoyable day yesterday at our school Sports Day. The girls spent the day outside taking part in lots of fun activities and trying out some new skills at different stations. Thank you to Mrs. Shanahan for planning the day, and to all the staff who managed the various stations for each class. A special ‘Well Done’ to the girls for taking part so well and for having a go!
Dear Parents, Children and Staff,
I hope that you will all enjoy the June Bank Holiday weekend and that the sun will shine for us.
Please continue to follow all the guidelines about mask wearing, coughing and social distancing. As recently as yesterday, a Waterford school had to close a class due to a Covid case so please help us to make sure that we do not have any closures over the next few weeks.
Look after yourselves and each other and we will see you all again on Tuesday June 8th, le cúnamh Dé.
With kind regards,
C. O’Reilly
Friendship Friday
Today is all about being a good friend.
At school:
- A friendly message on the intercom from Mrs. Shanahan to start the day.
- Each class will meditate for a period during the day.
- The Special Education Team will make Friendship Bracelets with all the classes. We hope the girls have been tuning in to the Seesaw videos that Miss Power uploaded for you.
At home:
We all know the value of a true friend. Maybe today, you might call your best friend to tell them how much you appreciate him or her. If you don’t know what to say, you could simply read out this beautiful poem.
Friendship
Friends give hope
When life is low.
Friends are a place
Where we can go.
Friends are precious,
Honest and true.
I feel so lucky
My friend is you.
