Senior Infants
World Book Day 2023
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.
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.
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.
CAPER October
We are delighted to have CAPER (Children and Parents Enjoy Reading) back in the classrooms this year. Parents, Grandparents and other family members are coming into the Senior Infant and 1st classes to read some stories to the children on a Wednesday morning. The children really enjoy listening to the stories being read to them.
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.
C.A.P.E.R.
A big thank you to the parents and grandparents who came to C.A.P.E.R. (Children and Parents Enjoying Reading) this week. The Senior Infant and First Class children love this fun reading initiative and we really appreciate the support of our parents and grandparents.
Senior Infants Fun Day
To celebrate all the good work that they have done in Senior Infants the classes got to enjoy a fun day. It started off with a walk down to Shandon park where they got to play in the shadow of Shandon Bells. After that it was fun time in the yard with lots of games, egg and spoons races and sack races. Before finishing the day off with a teddy bears picnic complete with ice cream in the sun in the Convent Garden. It was a great day and every one enjoyed it.
