The Student Council will be working with Aileen to develop class names for the school. Each class will feedback their ideas of categories that they would like the classes to be called e.g colours, flowers etc. We are looking forward to hearing the children’s ideas.
Massive thank you to all those who supported the Enterprise Winter Market on Wednesday. It was a big success for the Enterprise children! From the Halloween Market and the Winter Market combined, the children raised €229.55. They have chosen to donate this money to Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Thank you to everyone who helped the children achieve this. Gemma
Over the past 6 weeks Aiveen, Fionnuala & Aileen’s classes have been working with an IT specialist (for a 1 hour slot per week) to use the iPads in a cross curricular way. Next term, there will be a further 3 classes working with the IT specialist. For information about digital learning in school, please look here where you can find information about the Department of Education document Digital Learning Framework for Primary Schools. This supports the Digital Strategy for Schools 2015-2020 which you can find here. Many thanks. Gemma
Thank you to the parents and grandparents who came to visit Ciara’s 3rd Class on Friday morning, as part of our learning about schools around the world and education through the years. The children really enjoyed interviewing our visitors, and listening to all of their funny stories and interesting school memories.
Last week the student council had their third meeting of the year. They selected Alva (third class) for Student Council President and Faye (second class) for Vice President. Congratulations to you both! The council have made lots of suggestions to run events and activities and we will announce them shortly.

Big thank you to all of the families who donated Shoeboxes to the Hope Christmas appeal. We received over 130 boxes.
We will be hosting a Halloween themed dress-up day in aid of Temple Street hospital on Friday 26th October. Children are invited to dress up in a Halloween costume or any costume of their choice on that day and bring a donation for the Temple Street Fundraiser.
Many thanks for the feedback we received this week. Please see the document attached with further information about the Friendship Award. Many thanks. Gemma
