6th Class Graduation

We said good recently to our 6th class pupils with a lovely get together in the hall for themselves and their families. After a few words and some presentations, we shared lunch and a cuppa together and they rounded off the day with our traditional Alleyway of Applause on the school yard.

We wish you well 6th class, don’t forget us!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll DECIDE where to go.
Dr Seuss
 

6th class Graduation

A few reminders of their last day as Primary School pupils- our 6th class held a graduation ceremony and walked through our traditional alleyway of applause to meet their parents and head off. Very proud of them and we wish them the very best on their new adventure at Post Primary School. 

 

6th Class Graduation June 27th

On Wednesday June 26th we held our Graduation Ceremony for our 6th class. Their parents heard all about their achievements and talents and all the wonderful things that we will remember them for. There were some special awards for great role models from our Sports Day and awards for the Football League final. They were presented with their Graduation Certificates and a Portfolio of some of their work and memories from their many years as part of the St. Edward’s school community. There was both laughter and tears as we watched a short video story of their lives in our school and they even treated us to a song! Before they left, they got to experience our traditional Alleyway of Applause as they left the building. Farewell 6th class, we are proud of all of you and look forward to seeing you develop and grow over the coming years as you continue  your journey on to Post Primary School. 

 

 

St Brigid’s Day and Grandparents Day

On St Brigid’s Day the 1st February, Junior Infants joined up with the 6th class children to make St Brigid’s crosses out of rushes. We had great fun working alongside the 6th class children and we would like to thank them for helping us make them. We also learned about St Brigid and how she was a kind person who helped and cared for the poor people and how she got land to build a church for them. We coloured in our own St Brigid’s cloak. Have a look at the photos above.

We had a great day for Grandparents day. It was great to see so many Grandparents in our classroom. We made cards for them and sang a song and poem for them.

 

Summer Camp June 28th – July 2nd 2021

What a week we had at Summer Camp this year with lots of fun, discovery, sports and baking! Ms .Kivlehan, Ms. Quigley, Ms. Devaney & Ms. Browne probably had even more fun than the kids with all of the exciting activities that took place as well as a number of surprises thrown in throughout the week.

The weather really was on our side, with sunshine every day and plenty opportunities to be outside having fun with our friends and getting to know each other even better. It was a great week of exploring, learning through fun and play as well as challenging ourselves to learn new games, We went on Scavenger Hunts, did Maths Trails, searched for different types of outdoor life in the school grounds as well as enjoying walks to The Famine Graveyard where we took part in learning all about ‘history in our locality’.

Each Group had so much fun and exercise outside on the yard as well as on the pitch and the Maze. We played tag rugby, soccer, basketball and hockey. The children enjoyed the obstacle courses and some parachute fun with their friends. Other groups were challenged in orienteering tasks  and some even got to make tie-dye t-shirts. Groups were discovering science with experiments as well as  making yummy treats in the kitchen (There was probably very little left to take home to share with you all!!!)

Beautiful art was seen throughout the camp with each group using different materials and various methods to create masterpieces.  We painted with pastels and baby oil and and made ice cream cones

Ms. Grimes arrived into our classrooms on Friday with pizza for us all – what a treat for the boys and girls who were so fantastic all week long. A big ‘Thank You’ to Ms. Grimes and to Ms. Quigley for organising  this pizza party.

We had a visit from Lou from Sligo County Library on Thursday – she presented each group with their Summer Stars reading bags and told us all about the Summer Stars Programme in the Library and the great prizes that can be won. Keep an eye on our school Facebook page for more details. Lou read some lovely stories to us and we really enjoyed listening to these tales with our friends.

Group 1 – Ms. Devaney busy busy busy …. having lots of fun and learning through play.

Group 2- Ms. Quigley – enjoying outdoor and indoor fun and learning .

Group 3 – Ms. Kivlehan and her slime making, orienteering bunch !

Group 4 -Ms. Browne and her basketballers of the future who just love a good old pizza and ice cream party !!!

 

Well done everyone – it was a wonderful week and we will remember it always! Enjoy the holidays and please Stay Safe. !!! 

 

 

Goodbye 6th Class!

Today marks the 6th class graduation for 26 children. It will be a different kind of end to your year, one which we hoped would be in school with all of the other children and all the staff but it was not to be. However, we want to mark this day with a little Book of Life in School all about a special group of children. We are looking forward to meeting you today in person as we visit your homes. This day marks another big step forward on your adventures through life. Good luck 6th class!

A big Hello to you all,

I hope you are all doing well. It is June already and we are all missing school so much-  Parents and Teachers! This month is always a lovely month in school with lots of activities like Fun Day and trips out etc. It will be a very different June this year but just as the picture above says, ” It won’t be like this forever.” Hopefully we will all be back together really soon  but until then, remember we are all in this together! The school building is closed but we are all still working away and here  to support and help in any way that we can.

Please continue to email Class Teachers and/or you can ring me on the HSCL phone (086) 7769756 if you have a question or need to chat about something. I am always here to listen and to support- it is in times like these that we must look out for each other and be there to listen.

You are all doing a great job – you are doing your very best every day and that is all that any of us can do.

Remember we are all here to help and to support you in every way.

Stay Safe,

Message from Aisling HSCL – ‘History books will talk of now’.

Hello to you all,

 

Call me, Aisling HSCL 086 7769756 any day for a chat or if you have a concern. It is great to chat to you all and  I will help you in any way that I can.

Below, is a poem, written by  a Mom in the U.K – this poem has become a social media sensation! Enjoy reading it- I hope it gives you all hope and encouragement. As a Mommy, it really helped to remind me that we are all doing our best for something very important. We can do this together!

‘The Rainbow Children’

The history books will talk of now,
That time the world stood still.
When every family stayed at home,
Waved out from windowsills-
At those they loved but could not hold,
Because they loved them so.
Yet, whilst they did they noticed all the flowers start to grow.

The sun came out, they can recall,
And windows, rainbows filled.
They kicked a football in their yards,
Until the night drew in.
They walked each day but not too close,
That time the world stood still.
When people walked straight down the roads,
That once the cars did fill.

They saw that people became ill,
They knew the world was scared.
But whilst the world stood still they saw,
How much the whole world cared.
They clapped on Thursdays from their doors,
They cheered for the brave.
For people who would risk their lives,
So others could be saved.

The schools closed down, they missed their friends,
They missed their teachers so.
Their Mam’s and Dad’s helped with their work,
They helped their minds to grow.
The parents used to worry that,
As schools were put on hold,
Their children wouldn’t have the tools,
They’d need as they grew old.

But history books will talk of them,
Now adults, fully grown.
Those little boys and girls back then,
The ones who stayed at home.
They’ll tell you that they fixed this world,
Of all they would fulfill.
The RAINBOW children building dreams,
They’d dreamed whilst time stood still

 

Stay safe, stay calm and share your laughter.

Stay Safe and Stay Strong and remember ……….
