Christmas Assembly

21/12/2012

On our last day at school before the Chrismas holidays we had a wonderful Christmas Assembly. We had some very special guests at our Assembly; members of the Board of Management: Canon Tom Hever, John Mc Nabola and our Chairperson Marian Moore.
There was plenty of stories, prayer, song and live music! We've got some clips of the fantastic singing and music with thanks to everyone who took part and especially to Ms. Branley for organising our talented music group and practicing the songs with all of the classes.
Everyone here in Scoil Ursula would like to wish you and yours a Happy, Holy and Peaceful Christmas full of joy and laughter and the very best wishes for the New Year.
See you all in 2013!

Junior Infant Christmas Nativity Performance

17/12/2012

Last week we were all treated to a fantastic performance of "It's a Baby!", a nativity sing along play by Mrs. Corcoran's and Ms. Dwyer's Junior Infant Classes. The whole school came along to the Halla to share in this great Christmas tradition.
We were able to record clips of the play so that you can see the Oscar winners of the future in action!
Well done to all of the pupils and staff involved in this wonderful production!

Scoilnet Star Site

13/12/2012

Great news!

Our school website has been declared a Scoilnet Star Site. We had this designation before and applied to Scoilnet to get the prestigious recognition once again. The people at Scoilnet have decalred that our website is: "Very complete website. Up-to-date information on everything in the school. Easy navigation."

We're delighted with this news and hope that pupils, parents and all of the Scoil Ursula family continue to interact with us via our website which has become such a brilliant teaching, learning and communication tool for us.

School News Reporters

13/12/2012

Starting next week we'll be enlisting the help of the Student Council to begin our hunt for the Scoil Ursula Pupil Press Corps. This group of students will be tasked with reporting the news from their classrooms and classmates on the School News section of this website.

This is an exciting development of our school website. We hope our parents, families and all the friends of Scoil Ursula get involved in commenting on and sharing the school news posts!

Stay tuned to find out more!

Parents' Association Presentation

12/12/2012

The Scoil Ursula Parents’ Association presented the school with a very generous cheque of €1,000. This money will be targeted at our Literacy Plan which aims to raise the standards of literacy over the next three years as part of the National Literacy & Numeracy Strategy.

The money will be used to purchase resources for our Guided Reading Programme, which was successfully piloted at 5th Class level last year, is currently being rolled out in 6th Class and, thanks to the generosity of our PA, will be extended to 4th Class in the New Year. We are very grateful to the PA for their continued support of our initiatives during these challenging times.

In the slideshow below you can see examples of the
different work stations used during the Guided Reading Programme.

CAROL-SINGING

10/12/2012

Our annual Carol Singing event will take place in the Quayside Shopping Centre on Saturday 15th of December from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. We are calling all volunteers from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class to join us again to have some fun for a few hours. Full Brown Uniform and a Santa Hat will be worn by all students. A permission slip has been sent home via your children. There will be a 1 hour rehearsal in the cookery room at 6.15pm on Thursday 13th - we would ask that all parents collect their children on both days and that permission slips would be completed and returned on Thursday 13th at the rehearsal. We would also be very grateful for any parents help on the day to help us collect money.
