Dear Parents,

You can follow us on Instagram or Facebook whichever suits you best or you can use both!

We hope that you will find these accounts informative. We ask all parents to please always be respectful when commenting on any school posts listed on either social media accounts.

The purpose of these accounts are to spread awareness of upcoming events and fundraisers happening at the school but also to showcase our wonderful school in the most positive way for all the amazing trips, projects and initiatives the children take part in.

Halloween Activity Day (Part 1 - Cycle to Ballykane)

,

Our annual school Halloween Sponsored Cycle took place on Thursday 24th Oct.

Again this year we were so fortunate with the weather and we got lucky and we had some decent weather ensuring that the cycle would be a great day.

Our pupils that signed up for the option of the cycle had the serious task of cycling 7k to Ballykane and a small group of pupils braved this one along with Ms Greene and the parents who volunteered and helped out on the day. The children well and truly proved that we are a very active school and faced the task of a long cycle head on! We even some Junior Infant pupils who tackled the task and done brilliantly on the day.

Afterwards everyone headed back to the school and to meet back up with all our other pupils who done option 2 (red kite walk and avoca mill tour) and we all had some much needed refreshments and treats

The day was a fantastic success achieved only by the help and volunteering of our parents who were road marshals, who cycled alongside our pupils, who walked and supervised our smaller pupils and who volunteered afterwards to provide refreshments. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t of done it without you.

It was so lovely to get outside on the day and have some much needed fresh air for everyone!

We are still awaiting all sponsor cards to be returned to the school but once we have a final figure we will let parents know!

Again thank you to everyone for all your help and a huge well done to all our pupils and teachers for taking part in the event.

Scoil San Eoin was a very spoooooky place for Halloween 2024!!

On our final day before Halloween mid term the children and some of our staff dressed up for school to celebrate Halloween. Scoil San Eoin was a very spoooky place for the day!! We had an array of so many different costumes & characters and it was plain to see that lots of effort was made by our fantastic parents and pupils for the day.

Team Hope - Shoebox Appeal

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We know that it is very early to talk about the big 'C' word but Scoil San Eoin have chosen to take part in the Christmas Shoebox Appeal again this year where we encourage each child to fill a shoebox with items from a designated list for Christmas.

 Due to logistics etc the shoeboxes need to ready early in time for them to be delivered to underprivileged children all over the world. These children may never have received a present before, or live in difficult situations where basic necessities are hard to come by. 

 The benefits of the children being involved in this programme are getting to ‘‘feel good about doing something nice for others’’ and it can also help to teach your children about the world around them.

The deadline for drop off of the Christmas Shoeboxes for this year will be Friday 8th November. Please ensure that all shoeboxes have been brought to the school by this date as a representative from Teamhope will be collecting them.

A leaflet will be going home with the children today to include with your donation in your box. Please pop this in an envelope inside your box and place the label included on the outside of the box. All shoeboxes need to be wrapped.

We encourage all parents to get the children involved in this project if possible, we appreciate that Christmas is a busy and expensive time for many but it is a great example of the 'joy of giving' for the children.

We have chosen to send the leaflets out today to allow parents time to get the items and shoebox ready.

Whole School Avondale Nature Trip (Weds 16.10.2024)

,

We visited beautiful Avondale Park as a whole school Nature trip on Wednesday 16th October 2024.

As part of the Small Schools Project all pupils and teachers took the trip to Avondale to go orienteering & on a nature walk.

The three schools involved in the cluster, Shillelagh, Crossbridge and ourselves came together in Avondale as part of a collaborative learning day.

It was a semi-guided walk through the woodland allowing the pupils to interact with nature and see their curricular  learning from the classroom in its natural environment.

We hope to further build on the learning to create projects next week. It also allowed for social interaction with their peers from two other schools. It was a fun, interactive day full of learning, fresh air and exercise!!

Our pupils today, got to enjoy the fresh fruit from that tree and there were lots of happy faces while eating apples in the sunshine!

#Relaystakeover Day - Friday 27th Sept

,

On Friday 27th September, the whole school enjoyed the #relaystakeover as part of our Active Flag and European School Sports Day 2024. All classes enjoyed outdoor relay activities inspired by the successful Irish relay teams, who so many of us watched in Paris this Summer.

The Junior Room, led by Ms. Reilly and Ms. Blount, had great fun in their relay races using bean bags, hula hoops and cones.

Followed by the Senior Room, who before taking batons into their own hands, re-lived some of the Irish teams' races on our interactive whiteboard in the classroom with lots of cheering!! Then it was their turn outside to practise ready positions, baton changes and sprints.

A great active day for all!
