This Week in Seomra Corcra

Feb 28, 2017 | Senior Infants

We have been very busy again this week in Seomra Corcra. Look at us working hard at our Daily 5 stations!

We made our sight words from playdough, read to ourselves and listened to reading!

We love our Ready Set Go Stations too!

This week we were reading the book ‘Handa’s Hen’ by Eileen Browne. We made connections with the book ‘Handa’s Suprise’ which we read in Junior Infants.

We made story maps of all the animals Handa saw while she was looking for her hen Mondi.

We played with African animals in our small world area.

We painted some Masai Warriors jumping.

And we investigated materials to see which would be best to keep an ice cube cool! Here we are trying out some of our ideas.

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
