Maths Week 2022
We had a lots of fun exploring Maths Week this year. The children took part in coding, estimation competitions, poster competitions, colouring competitions, maths trails and a maths quiz to end the week. They also had a go at guessing how long it would take Paul, our caretaker to run the track. It was a great week enjoyed by all and well done to all the teaches and children for taking part.
Bobby’s Bananarama
We had a fantastic Bobby’s Bananarama Event in the school this morning and even the sun shined down as the children, teachers, staff and special guests joined in the Superhero Hallowe’en Walk around the school followed by an Assembly in the school PE Hall. The children performed two songs in support of Bobby as he gets ready to go to America for his operation in January and they sounded amazing! Special thanks to Mr. Bolton for co-ordinating today’s event, to teachers Ms. Swanton and Ms. Gleeson who played on guitar and keyboard and to 5th class pupil Mark Byrne who also accompanied on his guitar. The Hall was beautifully decorated with a special Banner designed by our SNA Nora Lawler.
A big thank you to everybody who donated to the event. We are delighted to report that a total of €1,217.10 has been raised today.
Well done to all involved and wishing you all a very Happy Hallowe’en and enjoyable Mid-Term break.
Kind regards
