Scoil Nioclais Intercultural Day Friday 18th June

One of our great traditions here at Scoil Nioclais is our annual Intercultural day where students can both learn and explain different aspects of other cultures.In the past we have had great support from parents on this day, whereby they came and brought a taste of their country to the students. Events included:
-Dance and Musical displays
-Cookery demonstrations and sharing of recipes
-Wearing and explanations of National Costumes
-A visit to your child's class to talk about your country
-Story telling, translations and much more.
We would be delighted to hear from parents who would like to bring a little of their native country to Scoil Nioclais and would welcome any ideas you have. Help us keep this wonderful tradition going by contacting Orla (SNPA), through the school office or Rosemary in Room 18.

FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

The parents association would like to sincerely thank all those that volunteered to help with the First Holy Communion in the school on Friday night and on Saturday. It was a wonderful day for the children and their families. Your support and help was greatly appreciated.

SOCIAL NIGHT

The table quiz which took place on Friday, 23rd April in Frankfield House was a great success. There were some fantastic prizes on the night and a big thank you to all those that came along. We hope you all enjoyed the evening.

Congratulations to the winning team, Crystal Swing and to Sober Lane, who came in a close second.

SENIOR INFANTS READING BOOK SCHEME

Each year parents of senior infants purchase 4 general readers i.e. Little Hippo Gets Lost, Animals in the Trolley, Honey Bears Party and Lion in the Mud.

In an attempt to help future pupils and to reduce the overall cost of school books, we are asking parents to donate these readers to the school when finished with them. These books will be held in the classrooms and lent to future pupils, thereby saving parents having to purchase these books in the future.

If you are interested in partaking in this scheme, please contact your class teacher. Thank you for your support with this initiative.
