Cinema visit this Thursday
2nd classes are visiting the cinema this Thursday. We will be walking down so fingers crossed for dry weather !
We will be seeing the newly released Paddington . The cost is €2 (and the children get a treat bag included ).
Proper coats, with hoods ideally/ hats, scarves etc are needed.
See note Wednesday.
Skipnrope day!
Today 2nd and 1st classes had Mark from Skipnrope and the children learned backwards skipping . They also did a few other exciting moves with the skipping rope ! Look at the photos here . Keep practising boys and girls ! Well done . Watch out for the video clip also over the next few days – and you’ll really see the action !!
Famous Newbridge !
Thanks to all at home for the excellent help with the Newbridge famous places! It was simple and interesting and the children were able to read it out in class. We heard some and tomorrow we will hear the rest. The children’s pictures also were well done and made their history work so nice.
We are learning that Newbridge has lots of famous places such as : The Curragh, the River Liffey and the bridge, Newbridge Silverware and the Whitewater . Someone even mentioned the Racecourse . Not every town has a racecourse !
Well done all.
Bothar visitor
Our school had a visit from Bothar – the charity we help with our globe day money each year. Aisling came and showed us photos and explained how our money helps them to send animals to the very poor countries. We have sent chickens most years which are very helpful.
We saw how they get a plane and then lorries to their new families. We also saw that the families have to have training to learn how to look after their new animals properly. Also every family gives some of the new born animals to another family in the village !
In this way our gift keeps on going and growing ! Many families and villages benefit from our globe day coins. It is a wonderful gift for so many. Aisling , and the teachers too, are very grateful for your help in sending in the coins when you can.
Thank you

Reminders
Parents have two notes in the chidren’s bag today – do have a read please.
The children have a newly made up Mathletic card, it’s a re make of their card details from 1st class – so details the same as before! They get to play agàinst themselves – their own score , as well as others. Those who have got into in are really enjoying it. If the weather over the break isn’t good this would be ideal !
We hope it’s a nice dry day tomorrow for our annual Witches Walk !
We have one last swimming lesson after the break , make sure every child gets to enjoy it .
Enjoy the break .
