Dear parents, carers, staff and friends,
News this week
Ms. Todd’s Class and Ms. McBride’s Class visited the Ilac Library on Monday to share stories with Julianna, our ‘Reader in Residence’. 1st Class even spotted one of the first LUAS cross-city trams on Parnell Street!
On Wednesday, 1st Class visited the ‘Moving Crib’ on Parnell Square.
Also on Wednesday, a group of our older girls took part in a Girls’ Soccer Blitz in Dalymount Park. The girls represented the school really well and were all awarded certificates. They have been practising with our coach from Dublin City Council’s Health and Wellbeing team after-school each week and their hard work really paid off. The blitz was organised as part of the #GettingAllGirlsActive programme.
Lots of parents and carers joined us for more Christmas Art on Wednesday – thank you so much for joining us.
On Thursday, our Senior Infants headed off to Imaginosity for a day full of adventures. Have a look on our Twitter account @stmarysdorsetst to see them in action in the doctor’s surgery, the post office, the television studio and a car garage – to name but a few! A great day was had by all.
Attendance and punctuality
Well done to Ms. Graham’s Class who had the best attendance this week.
