All Saints' National School

Today, on a bright, beautiful spring day, we said goodbye to Archdeacon Ruth with a school assembly. The children wrote a thank you poem from the junior room that really showed our appreciation for everything Ruth has done for us over the past 10 years. The senior room wrote prayers and a goodbye poem that would bring a tear to your eye.

We sang songs and enjoyed a little dance! We will miss Archdeacon Ruth’s entertaining and enjoyable assemblies. We thank her for all of her guidance, support and friendship over the years and we look forward to visiting her for a picnic on her new front lawn. We wish her every success and best wishes on the start of her new journey.

The kids really enjoyed their pancakes to celebrate Shrove Tuesday. Thanks to everyone for helping make it a Delicious Day!

The children have been learning how to look after their mental this week in school. We have read books, listened to music, done mindful meditation, drew pictures and to finish off our week we went to the playground in Carnew to get some fresh air and have some well deserved fun! And the staff enjoyed a coffee!

Our Annual Anti-Bullying Policy was reviewed at our most recent Board of Management Meeting on Tuesday 7th February 2023. Our Anti-Bullying Policy can be found on our website and available from our school office.

All are welcome to attend our Open Day Monday 23rd January from 3 – 4pm.

This year we continue to work on our Greenschool Flag: Global Citizenship: Marine Environment. We wrote some Greenschool Codes in groups and we then voted on the one we loved best. Well done to all the children on writing great codes for our school and learning all about the importance of our oceans.

A very special visitor came to the boys and girls of All Saints’ National School last Friday! We got such a surprise! He game during our Christmas party games and joined in with us singing Christmas Songs. All the boys and girls are on the good list and got some presents from Santa too. Thank you so much to Santa. We all had a fantastic time and we can’t wait for Christmas!

The children were very excited to have our local fire station visit our school. We had great fun learning about how to respond to a fire, how to prevent fires from happening and how to keep ourselves safe. Some students and teachers got to try on the fire suits, which are not easy to wear.

We would like to thank everyone at Carnew Fire Brigade for a lovely, fun educational morning.

We have been very busy the last few weeks. We enjoyed a trip to Tomnafinnogue Wood as part of our school fundraiser. We visited the Arklow Maritime Museum, learning all about boats and ship wrecks. The children took part in a scavenger hunt, an archaeological dig and building boats that would float. We then enjoyed a picnic at the playground and a beach clean-up as part of our Greenschool’s Maritime Flag. Fun days and plenty more to come before our summer holidays.
