We had a lovely sunny day for our assembly this afternoon and presentation of students of the week.

What a busy week this was, from chicks in Rang a hAon to the Spar 5 a side soccer competition to our Green Schools Evaluation to our Junior Entrepreneur Dragon’s Den to a visit from an engineer, swimming for all classes from 1st -6th to finally a very interesting and enjoyable presentation from Victoria Efeni speaking to students from 4th-6th as part of our Global Citizenship project! This was all on top of the very busy work of teaching and learning in all classes.

Our teachers this week praised students for their not alone their hard work but also teamwork that was visible with the many projects that are ongoing throughout the school. Teachers expressed their delight at the maturity and level of common sense on display this week. Also it is always a pleasure to hear of children achieving with a task that they may have found previously difficult. It shows that their hard work will pay off if they persevere.

Children learn by example and the praise we heard today was a shining example for all of our students. Congratulations to those awarded Student of the Week and keep up the great work.

Next week again promises to be a busy week, we have our final week’s swimming on Wednesday and also a visit from the Road Safety Authority focusing on how best to be safe when walking, cycling and also as passenger in a vehicle.
