Dear Parents:
v
Thank you for
making our ‘Book Fair’ a huge success. Lots of books were added to our class
libraries.
v
We ask you
please not to send in birthday party bags, treats etc. as there is just not
enough time during the school day for teachers to distribute them.
v
Our classes for next year are nearly full. If you
need to enrol a child or know someone who intends to enrol please do so
immediately.
v
We remind you
that we are legally obliged to notify the Education Welfare Officer of absences
of 20 days or more.
v
Well done to
all the parents involved in courses organised by Aoife.
v
The next
meeting of the Parents’ Association will take place on March 4th at
1pm in the Parents’ Room.
v
For our School
Self-Evaluation we are working on ‘Oral Language’. Thank you for completing the
recent questionnaires sent home to you. Your opinion and answers are very
important to us.
PARENTS’ COURSES:
v
FREE English
Classes continue to take place every Tuesday morning at 9.30am in the Parents’
Room.
HEALTH &
SAFETY:
v
We remind you again in the interests of safety we urgently
need your help with the following:
Ø Please remove children’s hats, scarves etc. outside
the assembly hall in the mornings. We are very proud of our pupils who enter
the hall alone. Keep it up! We ask all adults to remain outside the hall.

As part of our Greenwave Project, we will be looking out
for signs of Spring in nature. When you notice a sign of Spring, e.g. new buds
on trees please take a photo of your child with it and bring it to school or
email it to the school.
Pupils are busy working on creating a new Green School
Code based on Global Citizenship.
The pre-school children are
very busy exploring themes on Spring and creating Valentine crafts.
