PARENTS:

· Lots of exciting things happening in school these days including preparing for our Christmas Concert. Girls and boys from all classes will be on stage in school for Christmas Concert on Friday, 16th December. Times will be sent directly to you by the class teachers. Coffee and mince pies by Aoife in Cookery Room/Parents Room during the morning.

· Children may wear school tracksuits every day in winter but they do not have to wear them each day. We have been asked by some mums to make this clear.

· As well as preparing for our Christmas Concert, we are Carol Singing in town. On Monday, 12th and Tuesday, 13th we will be in the Headford Road Shopping Centre. On the afternoon of Thursday, 15th we will be singing at the Live Crib in the Cathedral.

· In the interests of the safety of all children we need your help with the following:

If children are late please do not come upstairs with them.

Leave the school immediately your child(ren) has gone into the Assembly Hall. If hats, gloves etc. need to be removed, please do so before children go into the Hall.

Please do not stand outside the Hall or at the bottom of the stairs until children go to their classroom. We need free passage.

Once again remember that the toilets on the ground floor are for the use of the children only.

( All of these requests are in the interests of the safety of the children. )


*WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO US

*We are so happy to be preparing for Christmas. Our Christmas Tree is already up and lighted.

* We are all enjoying singing carols and playing our instruments – bell lyres, drums, tin whistles etc. Our first public performance was last week.

*We all had great fun during Science Week visiting Exhibitions and doing experiments. The Muinteoir Jane visited everyone in the school and we had great fun.

*We have just begun preparation for another Green Flag and have started this by making ‘Biodiversity’ banners in all our classrooms.

*This is our last chance to get a Christmas Annual. No more orders will be taken after Friday, 10th December.

*We are getting ready for the ‘Peace Proms’ all the time. We have our rehearsal in Leisureland as soon as we are back after the Christmas Holidays.

*As well as our new lettering outside the school, we have got a new Front Door and CCTV on the front door and on the back door.
