June Assembly

Just before we broke for the holidays we held our final Assembly for the year. Top of the agenda was the naming of the Class of the Month which would in turn determine the Class of the Year.

Both awards went to Ms Walzer's First and Second Class. Well done to all concerned.

Well done to all our other award recipients as well.

Don't worry, all of our Writers of the Month, Mathematicians of the Month, Kindness Award winners and our Class of the Month got due recognition albeit somewhat belatedly. Well done to all and keep up the good work.

 Another quick month here at Our Lady's NS. 

Our forthcoming pantomime Cinderella and Rockerfella had been the source of great excitement throughout the month. Now, with the auditions over and the parts and lines given out the hard (but fun) work begins in earnest. Despite this we still found time to have our January Assembly.

Congratulations to all our award winners and well done  on making such a wonderful start to 2024.

Our Class of the Month for December 2023 - 1st and 2nd Class

Well done to everyone for all their hard work during a very busy first term.

October 2023 Assembly

 Friday, October 27th was the last day before the Halloween break and was the perfect time to hold our October assembly.

Miss Hogan, our new Library Club coordinator, had a nice surprise for the Junior Infants when she presented them with their 'My Little Library Book Bag'. These bags, containing three lovely books, (amongst other items) are part of an initiative to encourage the use of our wonderful (and free) nationwide libraries as well as helping young students navigate the big step into Primary School. 

Our attendance raffles were held as well. Congratulations to our lucky winners and well done to all our students on their efforts to improve their attendance.

Our 'Writers of the Month' and 'Mathematicians of the Month' were also presented with their certificates. Well done to all and keep up the good work.

We presented a new award this month - The Kindness Award.

This award goes to children who impress the teachers with their care and consideration for their fellow students. It was difficult for the teachers to chose only one student each but they were happy that those chosen were very deserved winners indeed.

Of course the big business of the day was to choose the 'Class of the Month' for October.

Well done to First and Second Class for earning their first award of the year.

Mrs Walzer's Half Term Report

 First and Second Class have been very busy since September! We completed our first project,  taken many trips to the library, preformed some Halloween themed experiments and shown off our mathematical skills during Maths Week.

The children worked in groups to complete a project on spiders! They researched, designed and presented their projects!! We learned some amazing facts about spiders and we even found some beautiful webs outside our classroom.

Each week we take a trip to the library. We have read so many books since September and all the children are getting really good at completing their book reports after reading!

Maths week was lots of fun! The children went on a problem hunt around the classroom and played lots of maths games, some of which had the added bonus of being edible!!!

Halloween week has brought its own fun! We learned that pumpkins float, who would’ve thought? Certainly not us, most of us predicted that they would sink but after carrying out our experiment we can confirm, they do in fact float! We then went on to cut open the pumpkin and use our senses and our knowledge of adjectives to describe the pumpkin, smelly and slimy being the preferred description!! We learned all about the different parts of the pumpkin and its life cycle ! We carried out another experiment to check out the reaction between vinegar and baking soda , it bubbled like a potion in a witches cauldron much to our disappointment as a huge explosion was expected from most !!!!!

We have learned so much and had lots of fun along the way!

December Assembly

 Our December Assembly had an undeniable Christmas feel taking place as it did on the day of the holidays. Our students (and staff) looked great in their festive garb as Mrs Egan complimented them for their good behaviour during Tuesday's mass and raffle.

The Writers and Mathematicians of the Month were announced to rapturous applause and the four lucky winners of the Mystery Bags (for good attendance) were chosen.

The big announcement of course was the revealing of the December Class of the Month...... and it was Third and Fourth Class who secured that honour. Well done to Ms Mason and her students.
