KILMACANOGUE NATIONAL SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY NEWSLETTER JANUARY 22nd 2020
Dear Parents/Guardians, Boys and Girls,
Another very busy week here in our lovely school, with all the boys and girls working very hard. Miss Murray has caught a lot of boys and girls and entire classes BEING GOOD!! Well done everyone, keep up the great work.
At assembly on Monday we learned about the story of The Good Samaritan from the Gospel of Luke and the children gave lots of ideas as to how they can be like The Good Samaritan helping those around them.
Also at assembly, Ms Quiney’s 4th Class showed us their great work based on a writing activity about the story of Matilda by Roald Dahl and the wonderful idea they had of putting together the story outline in a most unusual shape called a dodecahedron!! This kind of shape is composed of twelve regular pentagonal faces. What a most unusual way to write about a story!
Rehearsals for the Laudate Festival Concert, which will take place January 30th in St Pius X Church Templeogue, are going very well with 2nd and 4th classes and the children are all singing beautifully and learning lots of new songs. It will be a great night.
The parent/teacher meetings are in full flow at the moment and the feed back is very positive as is to be expected from the excellent children in this school. If any parent/guardian has any concern or would like to discuss matters further, please feel free to contact the office to make an appointment. Remember our door is always open and we are here to help you.
Thanks to the parents who have filled out the form containing general questions about COMPREHENSION while waiting for their parent/teacher meetings. This is for our school Self-Evaluation and School Improvement Plan. With the input and feedback from our wonderful parents/guardians, we want to make Kilmacanogue National School the very best that it can be in every area possible. There will be more such questionnaires throughout the year.
