The children had great fun dressing up on the Friday before mid term. Here are photos from some of the classes.
Ms. Coleman and some of the parents worked hard this morning to carve some pumpkins. There was some great creativity shown with some wonderful carvings. The pumpkins were then sold at home time with the money going towards the Parent's Association Fundraising for the year.
2nd class took a break from learning this Friday afternoon and spent time working together to make some jigsaws. They really enjoyed working together and were so happy when they finished their jigsaws.
Some lucky pupils from both 2nd classes have the opportunity to participate in the Gamelan Music programme in Hollyhill Library. A Gamelan is an Indonesian orchestra made up of percussion instruments. The children enjoyed played the different instruments and look forward to going again next week.
Buddy week was held in the school at the end of September. All the pupils were paired up with pupils from different classes. All the children enjoyed colouring, going for a walk in the garden, yard games, reading and playing games with their new Buddies.
Some lucky boys and girls who have had great attendance this year enjoyed ice creams in the outside classroom today. We hope that you all enjoyed your well deserved treat!
The final assembly of the school year took place with all the classes gathered in the school yard. 4th class told us some good news from their class, while 6th performed a song and a poem at what was their last assembly in North Pres. Ms. Egan presented the "Spirit of North Pres" award to a child in each class. This award is for a person who shows, caring for others and has a positive attitude in school every day.
Saturday May 14th was a very special day for the boys and girls of North Presentation as they made their First Holy Communion in the Cathedral Of St. Mary & St. Anne. It was the first time in over 20 years that there were North Pres. boys making their First Holy Communion and it was so lovely to see! Thank you to Fr. Sean who celebrated the mass with us, to the class teachers, Ms. O'Callaghan and Ms. Ahern and to Ms. Buckley, Ms. O'Connell and Ms. O'Neill who played the music during the mass. A huge thanks to Ms. Coleman and the Parent's Association who decorated the school so beautifully and provided gorgeous food for the celebrations after the ceremony. We hope that all of the boys and girls had a wonderful day!
