Scoil Ghrainne

Community National School

February in Seomra Setanta

Feb 29, 2016 | Third Class

Hello everyone,

We’ve had a great 2016 so far. We are now finished swimming in the National Aquatic Centre and we have started GAA with Paul every Friday. It is great fun!

We made pancakes for pancake Tuesday! They were delicious.

We have been learning all about magnets and we even made magnetic cars, we can make them move forward and reverse.

Check out our very own newspaper The 1916 Setanta Times.
We turned into journalists for the day and made 1916 Newspapers.

We created these spring trees using only dots of paint!

We have started knitting in Seomra Setanta also. It is quite tricky but we are doing great!

That’s all for now,

Seomra Setanta.

Dear Parents and families,

I am delighted to have been appointed Principal of Scoil Ghrainne CNS. I have heard many positive reports about your school, and having been Principal of another Community National School, I am familiar with this school model. I have known the outgoing Principal, Ken Scully for a number of years and he has helped me prepare for the challenges ahead. I would like to take this opportunity to wish him well in his new role as Director of Schools in KWETB.

School reopening has been successful and everyone is adhering well to the new guidelines and regulations. I want to acknowledge the cooperation that parents have shown with regard to following the guidelines. Staff are very busy following protocols and keeping all our pupils safe. As long as we continue to be vigilant we will remain safe.

Our focus for the month of November is on student and staff wellbeing. Amongst other things, we are prioritising the Daily Mile, daily energy check-ins, Stay Safe, internet safety and we are embedding the You Can Do It programme where our focus is on the foundations of getting along and building resilience. We are conscious that face-to-face Parent/Teacher meetings usually occur in November, however this year we are looking at other options in a Covid context. We will keep you informed in relation to this.

As you can see, Scoil Ghráinne is as busy as ever. I look forward to meeting you all over the coming months.

Keep Safe,

Stacey McAuley
