Student Council’s Lego Drive

Student Council’s Lego Drive

The Student Council are absolutely delighted to say that our LEGO Drive was a massive success thanks to you all. It’s so nice to see a new generation of children playing with old LEGO that was once loved by someone else.

We raised awareness by putting up posters around the school and going around the classes asking for any old LEGO. We also mentioned the LEGO drive at Assembly. Once we got all the LEGO we were amazed by how much we received. We sorted all the LEGO into many boxes and that almost took 2 days! We divided all the LEGO between all the classes and started to hand them out. When we brought the new LEGO to the classes the children looked like they were opening their presents on Christmas morning! They were so happy .

Now on rainy days when we can’t go out on the yard the children will have lots of LEGO to keep them busy. So we just wanted to say thank you all so much. This wouldn’t have been accomplished without all your support.

Kind Regards,
Student Council. 

 
 
Baby Chicks in St. Paul’s!

Baby Chicks in St. Paul’s!

There was great ‘eggcitement’ in St. Paul’s last month following the arrival of our ‘Incubator Project’. We had to wait patiently for 3 weeks before we finally began to see some movement in the eggs. The first chick made a ‘cracking’ arrival on Wednesday the 13th of November (sharing a birthday with Ms. McGeough!) with the other 4 chicks arriving shortly after. We all got an opportunity to visit the chicks and say hello. Have a look at below at some of the photos.

Well done to all the children who dressed up before the Halloween Break. We had a great selection of both spooky and fun costumes. Thank you all for your donations on the day for the “Trick or Treat for Temple Street” fundraiser. We are delighted to have raised €685.

Back to School Mass

Back to School Mass

Last Wednesday the boys and girls walked up to the Church for a beautiful Back to School Mass. It was our first Mass with the new priests Fr. Michael and Father Stephen. They were both incredibly complimentary to all of the children for their fantastic behaviour, participation and singing. Thank you to all of the children who did the readings and to the School Choir who provided beautiful music.
