Covid-19 School Closure
In line with the recent announcements regarding school closures, All Saints' N.S. is currently closed until 19th April, 2020. The safety of our whole school community is our priority. We will contact families with further updates once they are made available to us. In the meantime, teachers are busy planning and preparing learning opportunities for the pupils. Please refer to our online learning pages for a variety of educational links. In the meantime, wishing you all well. Keep safe and take care.
Italian Visitors
We were delighted to welcome the organisers of the Italian Songwriting Competition. Mrs. Kenny and the senior pupils wrote a song based on the theme of friendship. The song was shortlisted as a finalist in the European Festival of Songs by Children. The pupils will visit Trento, Italy in 2020 to perform their song. The visitors presented the pupils with the music to accompany their lyrics which were created by a well-known Italian composer. We are incredibly proud of Mrs. Kenny and the pupils on this wonderful achievement. We raised our seventh Green Flag based on the theme Global Citizenship Litter and Waste. All Saints' N.S. is a proud green school. We are currently undertaking work on our eight theme - Global Citizenship Energy. Thank you to everyone involved in organizing the event, assisting with teas and for being there to help us celebrate. The pupil sang beautifully and spoke very well. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Maher and the staff and pupils of Coláiste Bhríde for assisting with music during the event.
Halloween
The pupils enjoyed celebrating Halloween in All Saints' N.S. Sixth Class did a fantastic job decorating the school. The children enjoyed Halloween themed work. They created poems, stories and solved mystery maths problems. The Halloween Disco was a great success. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Kenny and Mrs. Vickers for organising the event.
Fairy Garden
The pupils created a beautiful indoor fairy garden. They painted the garden and decorated it creatively. The pupils also enjoyed painting fairy doors for our school playground. Keep an eye out for changes to our school garden over the coming weeks.
Maths Week
The pupils thoroughly enjoyed Maths Week. They completed a number of fun and interactive problem solving activities. The junior room had fun creating glasses for the Maths Eyes initiative. They used their glasses to identify maths in the environment. The senior room enjoyed a maths trail. The pupils also enjoyed taking photographs of maths around us. They created captions and maths questions. Maths week was a great success.
NEWSFLASH!
The Senior Room entered a song competition “European Song by Children” which is hosted in Trento, Italy. We are delighted to announce that we are one of only 10 winners chosen to produce and sing our song as a choir in “The Ice Skating Palace”, Trento, Italy on the 25th and 26th of April 2020! We are very excited and so proud of our school. This is a massive achievement!
