Maths for Fun:
This year again we will be running the 'Maths for Fun' programme in all classes from 1st - 6th. This programme involves parents coming into the class for 45 mins, once a week, for 5 weeks and playing Maths games with the children. The Maths games will reinforce the Maths curriculum. This programme can only run if we have parents who are willing to volunteer and come into the class and help out. Both parents and children really enjoy learning together and having fun. Below are the dates that the Maths for Fun will take place this year:3rd Class- Wednesdays, 9:15-10:00 from September 28th - October 26th 4th Class- Thursdays, 9:15-10:00 from September 29th - October 27th 5th Class- Wednesdays, 9:15-10:00 from November 16th - December 14th 6th Class- Thursdays, 9:15-10:00 from November 17th - December 15th 1st Class- Wednesdays, 9:15-10:00 from February 29th - March 28th 2nd Class- Thursdays, 9:15-10:00 from March 1st -March 29th Many thanks to all the parents in 3rd and 4th classes who have come in over the last 5 weeks for maths for fun. Both parents and children really really enjoyed maths for fun and the children learnt lots. It was a great success and would not have been possible without your support.


Breakfast Mornings:
Every Wednesday at 8.30, parents/guardians are invited to pop in to the Home-School Room (Ciara’s Room) for tea, coffee and a chat. One Wednesday a month, also at 8.30, we organise a special Breakfast Morning, where parents/guardians of a particular class level are invited to come and share breakfast and see their children do a little performance.
