School News –February 2023

 

January was a busy month getting back into routine after the holidays! The children all worked very hard and now we are looking forward to our mid-term break this month.

As February marks the first month of Spring-we look forward to the brighter days, the flowers that bloom and the animals that are born. The children hope to design and create Spring masterpieces in their Art lessons this month. Keep an eye on the noticeboards for some fabulous Spring Art!

Our Assemblies have continued with lovely music playing from 3rd to 5th Class. The children are learning to play new songs and tunes this month and showcase them at assembly for all the school to hear. We are looking forward to hearing their new tunes over the coming months.

The children are looking forward to planting some plants and vegetables in our school garden-also known as our ‘Outside Classroom’ this month. They are looking forward to learning all about plant and animal life in their Science lessons throughout the month as it is an important time of the year to learn about it.

We are hoping for Shane from Portlaoise GAA to return for GAA Coaching in March. The children have really missed their GAA Coaching and they are looking forward to Shane’s return!

As we embark on our mid-term break this month-we reflect back on our hard work, determination and enthusiasm both staff and children have shown over the last few weeks in school and we look forward to our return after our break where we will have activities, music and fun lessons to look forward to! We wish all families, friends and children of Maryborough NS a peaceful and safe mid-term break!
