Health
We remind parents to continue to be vigilant about head lice. Head lice are extremely common among school-going children, particularly at this time of year. We ask that parents check their children’s hair regularly and take appropriate action if they notice head lice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

6th Class
Louise’s 6th class have been very busy recently. In November, we learned about the USA and Native Americans and made totem poles in art. We had a visit from Draíocht theatre who performed ‘Grainne Mhaol – the Pirate Queen’ for us. In maths, we have been working on percentages and 2d shapes. We are reading a novel called ‘Wonder’ by RJ Palacio. This month, we have been making a Christmas village in art as a whole class. In Learn Together, we are looking at festivals of light and comparing the Jewish festival of Hanukkah and the Christian festival of Christmas.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1512761003435{padding-top: 32px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
