This week we the girls have also been learning about our community and the people who work in our school and our community. The girls learned lots and then came up with questions to ask Turlough the lollipop man, and Tracey our school secretary. We invited them into our class and the girls interviewed them to get the answers to their questions. They learned about lots of the important jobs that people do in our community and about all the people who help us. A big thank you to Tracey and Turlough for taking the time to visit us!

The girls in Junior Infants have been reading Handa’s Surprise. The story is set in Africa and there are lots of animals and fruits in the story. This week we all got to taste some of the different fruits. Some girls even tasted new fruits they hadn’t even heard of before we read the story. We had lots of fun smelling, feeling and tasting banana, orange, mango, pineapple, avocado and passion fruit. The 2 most popular fruits were banana and passion fruit. The second most popular fruit was pineapple.

Thanks to 6th Class and Mrs Burke for organising games with all the classes during lunchtime on Thursday. We had so much fun!

We were delighted to hear this week that Tesco will be supporting our school as part of the Tesco Community Fund. The Tesco Community Fund is a campaign which raises money for local schools, groups, clubs etc.

From Monday coming, February 26^th over 12 weeks, customers shopping in Tesco will receive blue tokens which can be used to vote in store for the causes in the community fund. We kindly ask that if you are shopping in Tesco, please support our school as all of the money raised will go towards the girls here and their education. Please encourage your family members, friends etc.. to support our cause using the blue tokens. You will find more information about the Tesco Community Fund here https://tescoireland.ie/sustainability/places/community-fund/community-fund-video-content-series/

Thanking you all for your continued support!!

Measles Update from the HSE

Please find an update regarding measles and vaccinations from the HSE below.

The girls have been very busy preparing for their peace proms performance, learning songs, learning choreography and coming up with their own routine, a special treat for us all to look forward to.

They are extending these dancing skills not just in PE and music but in learning both long and short multiplication and doing so very well.
