2023 Christmas Shoebox Appeal

Posted by Ms. McDonald On November - 9 - 2023

Team Hope’s Christmas Shoebox Appeal is an annual campaign that delivers gifts straight into the hands of children affected by poverty. Often these shoebox gifts are the only gift that a child will receive at Christmas and the joy that they bring is incredible. Thanks so much to everyone for your support of this very worthy cause.

Maths Week 2023

Posted by Ms. Naughton On October - 19 - 2023

To celebrate Maths Week 2023, 1st and 2nd class had a lot of fun on a Maths Trail around the school this afternoon. Despite the wet weather, it was great to get outdoors to highlight and learn how Maths surrounds us, even in the most unusual areas! In pairs, to facilitate independent learning and teamwork, the girls and boys were counting, measuring, recognising shapes and recording their findings. Great work, girls and boys.
