January in Seomra Setanta

Jan 21, 2016 | Third Class

Hello,

Happy New Year from Seomra Setanta!

We are now doing swimming lessons in the NAC every Tuesday. It is brilliant.

We’ve been learning lots about the 1916 Rising as this year it is the 100th year celebration 1916

We’ve been learning all about time and even made our own clocks.

In English we have been looking at procedural writing; creating instructions for games and sports and even looking at recipes.

Last term we did so well and got 3 tokens so we won a privilege. We made rice krispie buns!!

We made snowmen using old socks!!

We learned all about 3D shapes and made shapes using marshmallows and sticks.

An artist came in and we got to draw with markers on the floors.

We did projects on Ancient Greeks and wrote our names in Ancient Greek. It was really funny seeing our names in a different language.

That’s all from us. We hope you enjoyed your Christmas holidays 🙂

Dear parents/Guardians,

I hope you are all keeping well. We fully appreciate that the past few months have been incredibly challenging and we are looking forward to getting back to some sense of normality as the school sets to reopen on Thursday 27th of August. We are currently putting plans in place for the safe reopening of our school and we will be sharing all the relevant information with you over the coming weeks. We will be using this Aladdin platform to communicate this important information. There will need to be significant changes to the way we usually operate in terms of movement around the school building and in terms of the delivery of the curriculum but we plan to take all the necessary steps to ensure the safe and successful reintegration of every child in our school.

In other news, after almost 8 years as Principal of Scoil Ghráinne CNS the time has come for me to move on. I have really enjoyed my time as the Principal of Scoil Ghráinne and I am very proud of our collective achievements over the years. Scoil Ghráinne is a great school and I wish my successor the very best of luck in their new role. I have been appointed as the Director of Schools within Kildare and Wicklow ETB (KWETB) and I am really looking forward to this new and exciting challenge. I will remain in the school until mid-September and I will let you all know when my replacement has been appointed.

Many thanks,

Ken Scully
