Parent-Teacher Association Meeting

The next Parent-Teacher Association meeting will take place on Wednesday, 10th October from 20.00-21.00 at the school.

 

Forest School

Third Class started a six-week forest school experience today.  First Class visited the woods last week, with some pictures from the day below. Junior and Senior Infants will visit the woods on Wednesday.  We’re very lucky to be so near Barna Woods, and more visits to the woods will follow.

 

Coats

Please be sure your child has a coat, ideally with a hood, every day to be prepared for any sudden changes in the weather.  Write your child’s name on the tag so we can return it if it gets left behind.

 

Volunteer Opportunities in the School

It was fantastic to have so many parents involved in the moving, cleaning, painting and preparation of the school during the recent move.   Many hands do indeed make light work!  In an attempt to build on this momentum, we are setting up an online portal on our website to advertise ways of getting involved.  For example, we’re looking for help in clearing the remaining boxes in Seomra 2, help with hanging some notice boards, assistance with setting up new laptops, establishing a gardening committee and more.  We’d encourage you to take a look at the website if you are interested in helping.  Please visit www.ketns.ie/volunteering.
