Student Council Cake Sale

Our Student Council have been very busy over the last couple of weeks – they organised a Cake Sale in school today, which was a huge success. Along with Ms Gregg, the members of our Student Council have been busy planning, making posters, shopping and whipping up yummy buns and treats in school. They have also been very busy at home baking delicious cakes, cookies and traybakes! A special thank you to all the parents and those at home who helped to provide treats for sale.

After a busy morning getting all the goodies ready for sale, the Student Council opened their Cake Sale at break and lunch time in school today. There was a fantastic selection and everyone was able to buy lots of delicious treats – we enjoyed some of them in school, and hopefully some made it home as well!

Thanks again to our Student Council for all their hard work – it was a great day!

Visit from Garda Karen

We were joined in school today by Garda Karen English, from the Cavan Community Engagement Unit of An Garda Síochána. Garda Karen came to speak to us about our online behaviour – she gave us lots of advice about the legal implications of our online activity, as well as how to protect ourselves and stay safe online.

Garda Karen also took the time to answer some of our questions about her work as a member of An Garda Síochána – it was very interesting to hear a little bit about the work she does each day.

Thank you very much Garda Karen for taking the time to come and speak to us today, we all learned a lot about staying safe online.

Sports Coaching

We have started 2 blocks of sports coaching since the mid-term break. Each Monday, Shaun from Elevate Coaching takes us for a multi-sport session – we have been improving our fitness and developing our skills in lots of different sports. Every Thursday, Michael from Cavan GAA teaches us lots of different fundamental movement and GAA skills. We are really enjoying both of these coaches and are looking forward to learning lots more over the coming weeks. Thank you, Shaun and Michael!

Team Hope Shoebox Appeal

Thank you very much to everyone who filled a shoebox as a Christmas gift for a child as part of the Team Hope Shoebox Appeal. The shoeboxes were collected today, and we look forward to hearing in the New Year which country they were sent to. We collected 35 shoeboxes, as well as some online donations – thank you for making a difference in the life of a child this Christmas!

Thank you to the Sstudent Council who organised today – they raised over €100 for their chosen charity of the Cavan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Have a great mid-term break everyone!

Autumn Walk

The Junior Room went on a walk to explore our local area and look for signs of autumn. We recorded our findings on our checklists.

Before heading back to school we spent some time in the playground. It was a lovely morning!

Aistear

In September, the Junior Room explored the theme of Baby Clinic in Aistear. They designed and decorated a bib or vest for a baby, created a baby mobile and had the chance to try out different roles such as doctor, nurse, receptionist, Mammy, Daddy and childminder in the Role Play Corner.

It was a great start to the much loved Aistear activities in the Junior Room this year!
