Our Lady of Good Counsel GNS

Ferrybank, Waterford

Hello everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful, and restful holiday season. Welcome back to Good Counsel for the start of Term 2.

We are looking forward to doing some wonderful work this Term. The children have started their ‘sounds’ copy. The first sound we are learning is ‘ng’. Also, the girls will be starting their first set of Tables and Spellings Tests in their Primary Career. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh. Good Luck! : )

We are also starting a 10 week series of dancing lessons tomorrow. These will run every Tuesday for the next 10 weeks.

At some stage this term, I look forward to meeting all of you parents to discuss your child’s progress in First Class.

In the mean time , here is a little summary of a couple of things the children wrapped up last term.

1. They completed their GAA hurling training in the local community grounds with 2 students from WIT. We wish both students every success with the rest of their studies.

2. First Class completed their Narrative Writing on Jack and the Beanstalk. They presented their writing to Junior and Senior Infants. Both classes proved to be a very attentive audience.

Once again, welcome back Families. Please remember, to take your time these frosty mornings. No need to race / make a mad panic to school. Safety is crucial. Safe motoring and safe walking on the those pavements. Those icy patches can be deadly.
