Digital Schools of Distinction

We have just heard that Robertstown National School has been the first school in Co. Kildare to be awarded the much sought after” Digital School of Distinction” award.
This is not an easy award to achieve and we would like to thank staff, children, parents and Board of Management for their support in helping us.
The children’s knowledge in this area received very high praise on day of inspection.. We will post the written report as soon as it arrives
Well done everyone!!!

Bird Feeder

 

 

 

 

From Ms. O’Gradys Class and Deirdre

How to make a simple Bird Feeder

Bird Feeder 1 Bird Feeder 2

You will need a pipecleaner and a breakfast cereal with holes.

Bird Feedere 3  Bird Feeder 4

 

Thread the cereal onto the pipe cleaner.  When it is full, form a circle.

When your cleaner is made, dip it in warm water.  This softens the cereal for the birds.

Your Bird Feeder is ready to hang outside.  Can you spot our one in the photograph?

School Photographs

Dear Parents/Guardians,
 
There is still time to fill in an order form and return it to us with the exact fee for your children’s school photo.

School Photographs will be taken this Friday 15th November. Please ensure that your child is wearing full uniform on this day as every child will be photographed for the class photos.
The photos are being taken earlier this year to make sure all children still have full uniform and to give parents the opportunity to use the photographs as Christmas gifts. This decision was made based on suggestions from parents.
A sample of picture sizes are available in the office.
The cost of one set is €10, this contains: 1: (12” X 8”),  2: (7” X 5”),  4: (3” X 2”) and  8: (2” X 1 ½ “). This can be a set of photos of an individual child, siblings, or family photo. N.B. all photos within the set will be the same.
A class photograph will also be available at €5 for 1: (12” X 8”).
If you are interested please sign and return the form with clear instructions of the photos you want taken. An envelope with form attached was sent home in your child’s schoolbag prior to the mid-term break.
If you have any queries please contact Robertstown Parents Association.
For November why not lighten your load with donating all of your extra coppers to our November Coppers Collection. Each class has their own collection bucket now and are collecting coppers and loose change for the entire month of November.
The class who raise the most money over the month will win a special homework pass.
Regards,Parent’s Association
