On Friday last we had our weekly Student of the Week awards. We moved online for an interactive assembly and it was as always a very positive end to a busy week.

We learned of students presenting with great focus and determination, working well collaboratively with their peers and independently when required. We heard of those who had made great strides in presenting their work and trying their very best in all activities.

We learned how many of our older and younger students are setting a great example and in particular taking great care of others in class and on yard. As always, we heard of students who are making great strides and of those who perform each week consistently well.

Finally, it was great to hear of the wonderful work that is ongoing with our latest theme Space. We look forward to classroom visits to share this work and the latest learning in the coming weeks.

Well done to all the students chosen this week, we’re really proud of the great effort that you’ve made. Maith sibh!

Finally, as we mentioned to our students at recent assemblies and communications, on Friday of next week we will have our ‘Superheroes Day’ to help launch the East Mayo Athletic Club. On this day we’re asking all children to dress up as their favourite superhero, sports star, book character or whomever they think is the best superhero! Or maybe they can be creative and showcase their own hidden super power as not all heroes wear capes. You don’t need to buy a costume but the children can wear one you already have, or they can wear their own clothes and describe what their superpower is. Some of the suggestions from the children themselves today were SUPERfriend, SUPERfunny, SUPERclever, SUPERorganised, SUPERreader, SUPERfast.
