Swimming Lessons



Swimming for Primary 4/5 will begin the week of February 18th. It’s important for the children to have opportunities before this, to get used to changing their own clothes and drying themselves.

Paired Reading

The school staff will be  running the Paired Reading program with the assistance of Mrs Ann-Marie Flynn from the SELB’s literacy team. Mrs Flynn will be giving an information evening on Tuesday 5th of February at 7.30 pm here in the school. At this meeting she will be explaining the techniques of using the Paired Reading scheme. Some parents will be aware of the program but it is still important to attend the meeting to be brought up to date and because the project is a home based one, it is essential that at least one parent is present at that meeting.
