The girls in 4th Class had a wonderful interactive session with a ‘virtual’ Nano Nagle and were so inspired that they produced some beautiful artwork. This is the beautiful reply we received and wanted to share it, and the link , with you.
Hi Kathy,
I received the artwork from your students in the post this morning. We were blown away by the creativity of the girls!! So much so we felt we had to share their work with the world, so we have put their pictures on our website: https://nanonagleplace.ie/presentation-month-artwork/
I hope you don’t mind us sharing their work, we just thought it was absolutely fantastic.
All the best,
Sorcha O’Brien

4th class are taking part in the One Book, One community initiative. The class and classes from other neighbouring school are all reading the book "Holes" by Louis Sachar. They will then take part in different activities over the next couple of months. They started this week when children and parents from North Pres, Blarney Street and Gaelscoil Peig Sayers took part in an art class based on the book.
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.
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.

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.
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.
There were lots of fun events in the school this week to celebrate World Book Day 2022. The children in Senior Infants made their own books, including text and illustrations! The 2nd and 6th class children went on a trip to Waterstones to spend their World Book Day vouchers. To finish the week off on a high, we had a dress up day on Friday, where children could dress as their favourite fictional character. It was a fantastic finish to the week and we were amazed by all of the wonderful costumes! Well done to all of the parents and guardians who helped out with the costumes. Well done to the all of the teachers who dressed up too! We are looking forward to next year's event already!!
All the staff in North Pres want to wish the pupils and their families a happy summer and we can't wait to see everyone back in the school on the 28th of August.Click to see a special message from all the staff. This is us June 2020 staff
