Power In Me – Summer Video
We have been working hard over the last couple of weeks to put together a special summer performance.
The song is called ‘Power in Me’ and is all about believing in yourself, being a strong upstander and finding your inner power and strength to achieve your goals.
Summer Provision
We will be running a range of summer programmes for children this year.
There will be a special programme for the children in our ASD Special Class, a school and home-based programme for children with additional needs, and two DEIS literacy and numeracy summer camps. We will be supplementing this provision with funding from school and the School Completion Programme to offer two weeks of camp for all children who would like to take part.
Speak to Sile, Ms Kelly or contact the school office for more information.
Visit from Minister for Education
We were delighted to welcome Minister for Education, Norma Foley, to our school this week to launch the ‘Language Sampler’ module which will be available to all primary schools in late 2021.
The Minister was delighted to meet children from 5th Class, who shared their home languages with her. You can see the children sharing their languages in the video below:
