Swimming begins for all children in 2nd and 3rd classes this Friday. Here’s a few tips and pointers on what they’ll need.
All children attending swimming lessons should wear appropriate clothing. School tracksuits to be worn on Fridays. (Swimming togs may be worn under tracksuits coming to school). Each child must have a suitable bag to carry his/her swimming gear (Sports bag or similar with secure zip or other fastening).
All items brought to the pool should where possible be clearly labelled with the child’s name. This includes the bag, tracksuit, socks, underwear and shoes. The school cannot accept any responsibility for the loss of these types of personal possession.
Each child must have their own togs (without pockets), towel, hair brush and swim cap, all of which must also be marked. Swim cap absolutely compulsory. Normal school rules regarding jewellery apply. No jewellery should be worn in the pool. No shampoo, shower gel, hair gel, talcum powder or aerosols are permitted.
Many thanks for your co-operation on this,
F. Murphy.

In May the choir will be taking part in the Navan Choral Festival. They will be competing against dozens of other schools from all over the country so it’s very exciting! This is the first time the choir has competed in a competition in a number of years and it is because of their hard work and dedication that we have decided to enter them into this competition. Best of luck guys! : )

Every morning in junior infants the children take part in Aistear. Aistear is a framework for play where we have a different theme every few weeks for the children to focus their play on. There are five areas of play and the children, in groups, play at one area each day. So far this year some of our themes have been the restaurant, school, the mechanics, the vets and the farm!

( Friday 17th of April to Friday May 29th inclusive). Swimming lessons are during school hours, their session starts at 11.45am and last about an hour. The cost per child is €45 .
