Good Afternoon,

After the first few weeks of the new school session, It’s reassuring to see all the children settled in their classes with their teachers, especially our new Primary 1 children.   They have adapted to their new routines with ease.

As we continue to promote and encourage independence, we would like to remind parents/ carers, that after the September weekend holiday,  parents/ carers are kindly asked not to enter the playground.  Staff are present in the playgrounds to supervise the children.

May we thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Regards

Mrs Mooney

 

Good afternoon,

As we continue to promote healthy life choices in school, can we ask that you avoid fizzy drinks for snacks and lunch?  Children are encouraged to bring a water bottle to school each day that they can drink in class.  There is the facility to refill these if needed.

 

Regards,

Mrs Mooney

Good afternoon.

We hope that you have all had a nice summer break and are looking forward to returning to school on Wednesday 21.08.19. Mrs. Burns and the staff are looking forward to seeing all our current and new pupils.

As we welcome everyone back to school,  we ask that all children who are now in Primaries 2-7,  line up where they would have done before the holidays.  Staff will collect the children and take them to the hall, where they will meet their new teacher.

Our new children in Primary 1 are asked to gather in the infant playground for the starting time of 8.45 a.m, where staff will collect them and take them to class.

Parents of our new Primary 1 children are kindly invited back to school at 2.45 p.m where they will have the opportunity to go to their child’s class, meet the teacher and take some photographs.

Also, the photographer will be in school all day on, Wednesday 21st August 2019 for individual and family photographs. Then again on, Friday 30th August 2019 for class photographs.

 

Regards

 

Mrs. Mooney
