Storysacks ends

admin — Thu, 23 May 2013 15:37:13 +0000

The Storysacks project ended this week with a lovely celebration with parents and pupils. The scheme, which gives parents and children the opportunity to learn about books and reading through a fun environment was a great success with 6 families participating. Below are photos of some of the sacks that were created. A big thanks to Marie our Home School Liaison teacher for organising the event and thanks to everyone involved.

The annual Book Fair raised almost €500 for schoolbooks for the school. We were delighted with the response! The school will now be able to buy 2 new class sets of novels for classrooms. A big thanks to the Parents’ Council for helping out on the day and thanks to everyone who supported the event.

The Parents’ Council have donated hi-viz jackets to every pupil in Carlow Educate Together NS. The jackets can be used for any purpose by class teachers, for example, if going for a walk in the woods or in a place where they may need to be identified. Below is a picture of two members of the Parents’ Council putting up the jackets in a classroom.

In First Steps writing we are learning how to write expositions. Expositions use persuasive language, second class wrote about our school.

Title: C.E.T.N.S is Brilliant

C.E.T.N.S. is an absolutely brilliant school, over average in positives and under average in negatives!

Our school is perfect for pretty much anyone on the globe, every continent and every country.

The teachers do everything right, even though they give you challenges they are amazing junior infants to sixth class.

You may get a lot of homework, getting used to it is fun and projects are fun too.

Every once in a while we have special things like sports day, active week, book fair, friendship week and school tours.

The school is so amazing that I think the teachers should get a raise!

(I agree Jake – Clare)

Daniel

Daniel wrote his exposition for tourists who may visit our school and teach us about their country. Daniel’s aunt Paula is coming to visit our school to teach us about Australia!

Title: C.E.T.N.S.

I think you should come to visit our school because I want to learn more about the world. I like kind visitors, if you let us colour, like Caroline from Junior Achievers, you’re welcome here anytime.

I like to learn about other countries. You will meet lots of kind people if you visit 2nd class. You will meet the best teacher in the world. If you are lucky you might see my project.

I want to learn new languages and that’s the reason you should come to our school.

Portlaoise ETNS came to visit us on Thursday as part of Active Week and we had a great game of football with them. Our school were kitted out in blue this time (Laois colours!) and we had a very close game against our visitors.
