Scoil Ursula had an enjoyable walk to school on Wednesday. Unfortunately the sun wasn’t shining however, we all got some valuable fresh air before starting our school day!

On Friday 10th February all of the boys in girls from Junior Infants to 6th class, along with their teachers, put down the pencils and books at 10 o’clock and took part in the Operation Transformation 10 @ 10. Everyone put in a huge effort. It was a massive success!

Well done to everyone involved, with a special thanks to Miss Byrne and the Health Promoting Committee for organising the event. 

The children in 3^rd Class have had great fun recently when parents visited their classroom on Friday mornings to play some Maths games with them.

Ms. Lemasney and the children had started learning all about Multiplication and were trying really hard to be the best in the school at their Multiplication Tables.  Thirteen parents of 3^rd Class worked with Clare Hatcher in the Parents Room over the course of six weeks to find games which would help the work of the  teacher and make Multiplication easy and fun.

All of the adults tried new games and found that the children were enjoying the games so much that they forgot they were actually learning Maths!

Eileen Nolan gave each parent involved a Maths pack to use at home and it has been reported by both parents and children that it has helped at homework time. The children were sad when the Friday mornings with parents came to an end but they still have great fun working hard at Maths with their teacher.
