We had great excitement yesterday with a surprise visit from the Traditional Irish Music Group from Coláiste Bhride! Go raibh míle maith agaibh! Tá sibh go hiontach ar fad! It was great to have them visit our school during Seachtain Na Gaeilge!
The whole school went on a walk with our litter pickers, our rubbish bags, our gloves and our determination to clean up Carnew. Our biggest mission was the playground!
Please stop throwing your litter where we like to go and play! Bring your rubbish home with you!
A huge thank you the Carnew Fire Brigade for allowing us to visit the station. We had great fun using the hose and learning all about their role in our community. We would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU for everything you do to keep us safe.
Many thanks to Garda Detective Michelle for visiting All Saints’ National School this week to raise awareness on internet safety and cyber bullying! The children learned how to keep safe online, using private accounts, the dangers of chatting online and above all how one nasty comment made online is bullying! Something that we are firmly against! We could have future gardaí in our mist in All Saints’ and Garda Michelle was very impressed with everyone’s knowledge on Internet Safety!
The children were fantastic today in their World Book Day costumes! They talked about their characters and why they were their favourite! We discussed the importance of reading – reading books that you love and enjoy! We created animations on flipgird, made potato characters and played board games. The children are working on book covers also of their favourite books. We visited the library and decided to blend into a book!! How cool!!!
Well done everyone (including the teachers!)
What a fantastic day we had in the RDS at the Science Blast Competition. The Senior Room thoroughly enjoyed the day out and showcased their project “Can you tell the difference in regular and diet drinks?” The judge was very impressed with their scientific investigations, their knowledge and understanding of the topic and commended them on all of their hard work! Well done everyone and thank you to Science Blast for such a well run, organised event.
We would like to say a huge thank you to one our parents from coming in to show the children how to make their own survival paracord bracelets! Well done to everyone for giving it a try and for helping each other along the way. Didn’t they turn out great?? This took time and patience so well done children!
Ireland Reads Initiative “Squeeze in a Read” – The children got together to read some books to each other. We also had DEAR time and started a new podcast “The Mysterious Disappearance of Mars Patel”. We can’t wait to read and listen to more.
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!
