2nd Class
North Pres. Health and Wellbeing Week
June 15th – 19th 2020
The boys and girls of North Pres. have worked so hard at home since our school closed that we decided they deserved a real treat.
So for this week, we are all working from the same Wellbeing Week Padlet (link below). There are lots of activities to choose from, such as:
- Art and craft
- Gardening
- Healthy Eating
- Physical Exercise and Outdoor Games
- Relaxation & Emotional Wellbeing Activities
- Parents Corner (we have to look after the grown-ups too!)
We’d love if you would tell us about your two favourite activities of the week. You could draw, write or send a photo telling us about them and send them to the class teacher. You could also write a little note on the Padlet.
Have fun everyone, we hope you have a great Health and Wellbeing Week!

Health and Well-Being Week
The children in North Pres are having lots of fun at home during our Health and Well-Being week. Look at the photos below of what they have been up to.
World Book Day
The students and teachers had a great day celebrating World book Day this year. The children from 1st and 4th classes walked down to Waterstones. They used their world book day vouchers to buy books. There was also a story teller there who read them a story. They had a great time. 5th class and Junior Infants went reading together. They really enjoyed reading Mr. Men books. All the classes and some of the teachers enjoyed dressing up as their favourite characters from books.
Lego Workshop
For Engineers week the school held a Lego workshop in the blue room for all students from Junior Infants up to 6th Class. The Brickx Club came and provided all the Lego and help for the day. The children built some wonderful structures and showed great imagination when building. Everyone agreed that they had a great day.
February Assembly
The school held our February assembly recently. 1st class started the assembly with a wonderful presentation on their inspirational person, Tom Crean. The kindness award for the month went to a boy in Senior Infants. Ms. Egan announced the first " Stars of the Yard". These are children who were kind and helpful towards other children out in the yard. Senior Infants finished our assembly with a wonderful performance of a song about Spring and a lovely Irish poem.
January Assembly
The first whole school assembly of the new year was held last week. Third class gave a very interesting presentation of Andrea Bocelli as their Influential Person in History. The Kindness award was presented to a student from Senior Infants. Junior Infants gave a great performance of a song about a little snowman and a lovely Irish poem. The whole school finished off the assembly by singing "The Banks of my own Lovely Lee".
Maths for Fun - 2nd Class
Ms Whelton's second class are really enjoying Maths for Fun on Thursday mornings. Parents join us each week to play maths games that are promoting mathematical skills.
December 2019 Attendance Awards
At December's assembly Mr David Morley, our Education Welfare Officer (EWO) spoke to our pupils about the importance of good attendance. He also assisted Ms Murray in presenting the prizes for three attendance drives. We had seven winners from 1st to 6th Class for our 'Every School Day Counts' art competition. One child from each of the infant and first classes won a selection box through the 'In to Win' challenge. Forty children from 2nd to 6th Class enjoyed a pizza party for having full attendance for the last three weeks of school.
City Sports
The City Sports were held recently in C.I.T. The boys and girls who represented the school did a fantastic job. We are so proud of them. Well done to the staff involved who trained them and also thanks to their parents for taking the time to bring them to the sports.
