Green Schools – Fair Trade
On Wednesday the 2nd of December the Green Schools Committee from 3rd to 6th and from Senior Infants attended a coffee morning in Rathmore Community Hall to inform the community of the work they are doing for the 6th Green Schools Flag. The children spoke about the topic of fair trade. They gave out a survey, they told everyone about the different projects and work they are doing in school in order to promote fair trade. The children baked chocolate biscuit cake, banana bread and chocolate chip cookies using fair trade ingredients and they brought them to share with everyone there. The morning was a great success and the children had a lovely time talking to different people from the community. They did an excellent job promoting fair trade.
We hope to have more photos and recipes up over the next few days
Christmas Charity 2015 – €1 per child
It was decided that instead of gifts for teachers that a collection for a charity would be done. This year’s nominated charity is the Dyslexia Association of Ireland. (Naas/Newbridge Branch) The Dyslexia Association of Ireland (DAI) has been working with and for people with dyslexia since 1972. As you are aware, research suggests 10% of our population is affected by some level of dyslexia. Its aims are to improve the provision of services for children and adults with related reading, writing and spelling difficulties. It has a national membership of 3,000 families and teachers.
The Naas/Newbridge Branch is affiliated to the DAI. The branch is run by a voluntary committee consisting of parents of children with dyslexia. The branch provides an information and support group for parents, and learning support for both primary and secondary school children with dyslexia. We will be having a Christmas Jumper Day/Non Uniform Day on Tuesday 22nd December and ask for a €1.00 donation from the children. All monies collected will go to the Naas/Newbridge DAI Branch.
School will close on 22nd December at 12.30pm and buses will be running at this time.
