 Our Parent-Teacher Association are running a clothing collection in conjunction with Bag2School Ireland next Thursday March 2nd.
By getting involved in our Bag2School collection you have an opportunity to sort through your cupboards and wardrobes and donate any unwanted textiles in the bag provided. This can include adult and children’s clothes, shoes (tied together please), hats, belts, bags and teddies. Please NO Duvets, Pillows, Curtains, Bedding, Towels or End-Of-Life Clothing. The clothes have to be of good quality for reuse in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. Our school funds will receive a fantastic 55c a kilo / €550 per tonne which will be a great boost for our fundraising. The LauraLynn House will also receive an additional 10% from Bag2School. In addition it will raise awareness amongst the children of the benefits of recycling and reuse. The LauraLynn House is the only Children’s Hospice in Ireland. Their mission is “The Children’s Sunshine Home cares for children with life limiting conditions, and their families, by providing high quality transitional care, home support, respite, crisis and end-of-life care. Our services are available to children with high medical and nursing needs from birth to 18.” Please try to fill as many bags as you can. Don’t forget to ask grandparents, friends and neighbours to have a sort out as well! You can return clothes in any kind of bag. Please return your bag (or bags!) to us on Thursday March 2nd @ 8.30am and help us have a really good collection! Bags will be stored under the bike shed until collection from Bag2School. Please do not bring your bags to school before Thursday as we do not have anywhere to store them! Many thanks indeed for helping us with this unique fundraising opportunity. Thank you! Today we ran the final kilometre of our marathon. What an achievement it was - running 40km in total between September and now. The cold, rain and wind couldn't stop us as we ran our daily laps each morning and after each break!
We have developed great fitness and stamina and can't wait to take on the next running challenge! Check out our final kilometre in the photos above! We came so far with our road safety skills after completing our Cycle Right Training. To finish our training we put in to practice all that we had learned in school on the roads around Tyrrelstown! Check out our skills above!
Dear Parents,
We will be starting Relationship and Sexuality Education (RSE) as part of the National Curriculum for Primary Schools in November. This is a really important part of the curriculum and we are legally obliged to teach it. Please be assured everything that is taught to your child is age appropriate. We have attached home school links that outline what will be covered in these lessons, as well as possible discussions to have with your child in advance of the lesson. The discussion you have with your child will help you feel you have included your family's values to prepare your child for the lesson ahead. If you have any questions or concerns after reading through the programme, please contact us at [email protected] / [email protected] Regards, James and Sinéad. Lots of fun and learning in the Rose Class over the last few weeks! Check out the photos above to see us working collaboratively on our Famous Refugee projects, making our smoothies and veggie skewers to promote a healthy diet, our project presentations, working with IZAK 9 maths cubes for maths week and raising awareness of DLD for DLD day.
We were very privileged to host Draíocht Theatre's production The Dig in the school hall today. The story followed a budding acheologist on his path for recognition and appreciation. The children really enjoyed the production and thought the creativity involved in writing and creating the set and sound design for such a show was highly impressive!
