Trick or Treat for Temple Street.
Our pupils raised a whopping €197 for this worthy charity.
Well done to all the pupils who dressed up so beautifully.
And thanks to Dympna who worked so hard, and so quickly to get certificates ready for everyone.
Thank you to the Sixth Class who decorated our school.
C& C Sherry have begun work on our specially designed Waste Water Treatment system.
This job ( which will be finished over the Hallowe'en break) will mean that all our waste water will be treated properly and we'll be helping to protect the environment in Ardaghey.
This project has been in the works for the past two years but Covid made it difficult to get the system designed and to get people on site. We are delighted to be starting at last. All thanks our neighbour, Martin McKenna, for his cooperation and generosity: the new system is too large for our school site and needs to extend into his field.
The trees that had to be knocked to make way for our system will all be replaced as we begin work on our new garden space.
Mrs. Ferguson has had to move from her 'lab' to a newly created space in the school until the works are finished.
Thanks to the Sixth Class for all their work on Mrs. Ferguson's 'Swanky New Office' during what should have been their Golden Time on Friday last. ( it is NOT a cloakroom)

Maths Stations.
Sequencing is an important skill in Maths. In our Maths Stations today (see photos above) the Junior and Senior Infants learned to sequence by making a sandwich.
(Useful tip: put the butter on the bread before you add the cheese and tomatoes!)
As you can see from the photos we're really getting the hang of this and will be making our own lunches soon.

As you can see above the pupils in the Senior Room were entertained by stories from the Junior Room.
The Junior Pupils and been working on their creative writing and read their stories to the older pupils as a treat.

First Communion
Congratulations to our pupils who made their First Holy Communion on October 6th
in St. Michael's Church, Ardaghey.
Special thanks to Canon McGinn who went to such trouble to make the ceremony
very meaningful and very intimate.
Mrs. Donnelly and Dympna provided the beautiful music and added so much to the lovely occasion.
Marie Curley had decorated the church so beautifully that it would have been fit for a royal wedding.
This was, once again, a chance for the community of Ardaghey to come together and the community gave
these four children an evening and a memory that they will never forget.

Is there a doctor in the house?
Appropriately enough, given the poster at the top of the page, Senior Infants loved playing 'doctors' in school this month.
Just have a look at the receptionists and doctors we have working in our school.
( although thankfully none of the patients look too sick!)

STEM Project.
For those who don't know STEM stands for Science Technology Engineering and Maths.
Over the past week the pupils in the Senior Room have been engaged with a very exciting STEM project with Ireland's Future Is Mine.
Using the platform Minecraft they will find out about sustainability, design, ecology and maths.
This wonderful project is organised by Microsoft Ireland who generously gave our pupils a Minecraft Education Edition Account free for the duration of the project.
The children will have access to these resources for the rest of the year.

Junior Room
Below are some photos of our Junior Room pupils who are hard at work.
With all the games in Ms. King's room Maths really is a lot of fun.
The children also love Aistear.

Our Hard Working Senior Room Pupils.
The pupils in the Junior Room need lots of 'hands on' resources and lots of concrete materials. All these resources have to be laminated and cut up to useable sizes. |
|
Some of our hard working senior room pupils volunteer their own time before school
to help prepare the resources that Ms. King will use with the younger pupils.
This is just one of the many ways that the pupils in the Senior Room show their kindness and their helpfulness.

Batteries
We have been collecting used batteries all year. This week a man came to collect the hundreds of batteries we'd gathered. All the batteries are going to be recycled and the money raised will go to help sick children have holidays in Barrettstown. |
