Attached are the results of the draw of the recent school fund raiser. Well done and thanks to all the parents on a huge effort in raising money for the school. A special thanks to the Parents Association Committee for their effort and time in coordinating the fund raising.

You really should check out 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes’ latest newsletter. Excellent journalism from our budding young journalists.You will find it on Ms. McGree’s page under the “children” tab. Enjoy!!

In Science this week we made balloon powered airplanes. The children designed airplanes from white card in small groups, taking into account how weight, size and design would affect how far they would fly. A straw is attached to allow the plane be directed along a piece of string. A blown up balloon was attached to the plane to power it. Have a look at some of the results!!

Here is a recording of The Rattlin’ Bog with Fr. O Gorman this morning!!

This year our school will take part in the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal. This is a wonderful opportunity to give a gift to some of the world’s poorest children this Christmas. The shoebox you make will bring a lot of excitement, laughter and a little hope to these children and will likely be the only present they will receive this year. It is also a great opportunity to show our own children how little items can mean so much to these children.

The children will receive all the necessary information on how to fill their shoebox in the coming weeks. The shoebox can be left in the main school hall the week we come back from our Halloween holidays, November 3rd – 7th. The final day for bringing in the shoebox is Friday November 7th. We would be delighted if you could participate in this appeal and help to spread some Christmas cheer to lots of needy children.

Parents Association meeting being held in the school on Tuesday 9th September at 7p.m. We would ask that at least one parent from each family attend this meeting, if you are unable to attend please inform a committee member(contact details available on website). Looking forward to seeing you all then.
