A very big ‘Happy Birthday’ to Nicole who turns 7 on Thursday. I hope you have a lovely day. I can't wait to celebrate all the
birthdays we missed since school closed. A very big ‘Happy Birthday’ also to Bronagh who turns 7 on Friday! I hear that virtual
birthday parties are very popular so go for it
Gentle reminder: please collect your child’s schoolbooks which will be distributed on Thursday the 4th June at 12 noon for
Senior Infants Room 4. If you have more than one daughter in the school, books will be provided to you as a family for
the most senior child so please check the school’s website for further details.
Some activities I will not be collecting, however for others I will be asking you to email me some of your learning where
possible- these will be marked YES in the submission box. Your parent/ guardians can use their email to do this. Remember: if
