Head Lice - Letter from Parents Assocation in school bags. See link... Bug Busting Sept 2009
Wednesday 14th October was designated “Bug Busting Night”
by the Parents Association and the School Staff.
The idea is that all parents will check their child’s head/hair and carry out the bug busting procedure if necessary. You should also check the scalps of all your children including those who do not attend this school. As I mentioned in my last newsletter we had 6 outbreaks of the infestation up to 28th September. Since then, there have been 2 more. Continuous vigilance will minimise infestations.
Basketball Coaching Session: The first of our extra-curricular activities this year took place on Tuesday 22nd September when two coaches from the Shamrock Rovers – Hoops basketball team, Ahmed (Coach Smith) from Oklahoma and Ciprian from Poland spent the day with us teaching the boys some of the skills of the game. This has always been an exciting day and so it proved to be again. The boys enjoyed themselves and for the last 40 minutes of the day we had a demonstration of skills from the coaches.
Music in the Classroom: On Tuesday 6th October we will all visit the Helix Theatre for a performance of “Music in the Classroom”. This feast of music, dance and song is organised by the Irish Times in conjunction with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra conducted by Gearóid Grant. We will enjoy a lovely concert of music, which will be introduced and explained by Gearóid as he goes along. He is very experienced in dealing with young audiences and we have been enjoying these annual concerts for many years now. The children are becoming familiar with the pieces to be performed as all the teachers have copies of the concert CD. Other performers include Peter Sweeney, Emmanuel Lawler and the Dex McGloughlin School of Dancing.
The programme includes: (1) Carnival of the Animals; (2) Can-can; (3) Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1; (4) Typewriter; (5) Cats’ Duet and (6) Harry Potter theme. We will also hear and take part in singing the following: Hans Andersen medley, Teddy Bear’s Picnic, Annie’s Song, Ailiú Éanaí and an ABBA medley.
This is going to be a great concert!
GOAL Jersey day: We in the Junior School will be taking part in the GOAL Jersey Day on Friday October 9th. All (including parents) are invited to wear their favourite team’s colours for the day and contribute €2 each to help GOAL’s work. Larger donations are very welcome indeed and all money will be passed on.
The Helix on Thursday 17th December: On Thursday we will all be off to the Helix theatre in D.C.U. to see the Show “Santa Move Over”.
Santa in Belgrove: Marguerite received an email from the great man to say that despite his hectic pace of life and very busy schedule, he will pay his annual visit to Belgrove on Monday December 21st.
Reptile Zoo! This is a mobile unit from the Reptile Village in Gowran, Co. Kilkenny, and it visited us on Monday and Tuesday 25th and 26th January. This was a tremendous success as we were all scared and delighted as a boa constrictor was placed near us, and was allowed to rest of our legs as we patted her. Also a corn snake wrapped itself around our arms and outstretched fingers thinking these were branches of a tree. We also saw a snapping turtle, which chewed up a pencil, a tortoise, an iguana, a scorpion and a gecko. The zoo keepers told us a lot about these wonderful animals and you can see some photographs in the corridor. We hope they come again!
Speech and Drama: Exams took place on Tuesday 23rd March.
Haiti Appeal: Your response to this appeal was terrific. The total collected was €4,000 and this has been forwarded to the Westport Bank where Gena Heraty can have it sent to her orphanage in Haiti.
