The children enjoyed dressing up for World Book Day last week. 1st class and 6th class walked down to Waterstones to use their World Book Day vouchers to get new books.
Junior Infants
Maths in Junior Infants
Junior Infants had some very special help with their maths for the last few weeks. They had help from some parents who came in for 3 weeks, did maths activities and played maths games with them. The children really enjoyed these days. Thank you to all the parents and relatives that came in and to Ms. Coleman for organising.
Christmas Activities
The school was very busy in the run up to the Christmas Holidays. Early Start parents came into their class for Cuddle and Read. Every child in the class went home with a new book for Christmas which they could enjoy with their parents. Ms. Murray and Ms. Coleman held the In it to Win it raffle where a raffle was done in each class and pupils won prizes. The more often they were in school the more raffle tickets they had. Ms. Coleman organised a flower arranging class for the parents to make their Christmas wreaths. She also organised a raffle for the children and families that brought back in their Christmas wishes stars. The two 2nd classes went baking rice crispy cakes with their teachers and Ms. Rooney. They tasted delicious afterwards. The whole school took part in a Christmas Concert in the cathedral which told the Christmas Story.
Parents in the classroom
Ms. Coleman has been busy lately organising activities for parents to come into classes and work with the children. In the two 2nd classes parents have been coming in for Maths for Fun, while in Junior Infants parents have been coming in for Happy Talk. Thank you to all the parents for coming into the classes.
Dress Up Day
The children had great fun dressing up on the Friday before mid term. Here are photos from some of the classes.
Special Visitor to Junior Infants.
Junior infants had a special visitor this week when the Community Garda visited them one morning. The children got to ask him some questions. Some children got to try on his cap and coat, while others got to try on his handcuffs. They really enjoyed the visitor.
Pumpkin Carving
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.
End Of Year Attendance Celebrations
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!
Final assembly of the year
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.
