This Week in Seomra Corcra

Jan 11, 2017 | Senior Infants

Everyone in Seomra Corcra had a great time on our Christmas holidays. We had so much news we just had to write it all down!

We have been hard at work this week. We were very excited to start Daily 5 again. We play word games, read, write and listen to stories!

We really love our Ready Set Go Maths too! Look at how much fun we are having! We sort, make patterns and play number and counting games!

Look at some of the other things we have been up to this week!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Here we are at the end of a long year. We have been kept very busy since the beginning of the school year last August. 2021 is definitely a year we will all remember…but let’s dwell on the positives… we learned good hand hygiene, coughing etiquette, social distancing , extended our medical vocabularies, embraced ventilation, spent so much time outdoors, increased our fitness levels, survived in our bubbles and pods. Our school tours were a huge success and nobody was “travel sick”. Active week and Creative week were very enjoyable and “did what it said on the tin”. Our Intercultural Week looked a little different this year but the cooking demonstrations were very popular and we may do that again next year. Thank you to all the children for the fashion show and beautiful art work.

This week we celebrated the graduation of our 6th classes and 4 children from Croí. We hope they are leaving Scoil Ghrainne with a good sense of who they are, confidence in their abilities and an awareness of their talent. You can be very proud of your children and we wish them every success on the continuation of their journey.

As a new Principal here in Scoil Ghrainne, I am truly impressed with the dedication and commitment of staff. Thanks to them for all the work and contributions they make every day. Thanks to our Parents Association and to our Board of Management who are volunteering their time to help in the running of this great school. Without them, we would not be able to do what we do.

No doubt 2022 will bring new challenges, but we have built resilience and learned a lot about teamwork this year. We look forward to new beginnings and safer times.

Keep an eye on Aladdin during the summer months and we will keep you posted.

Stay safe and enjoy your holidays,

Stacey McAuley
