January is almost over but we have been very busy since our return after Christmas. 2018 has brought a closure because of snow and a day’s In-service to facilitate staff training. All staff gathered and learned from N.C.S.E. (National Council for Special Education) regarding Autism and Challenging Behaviour and all aspects of Special Education.
- Pupils from senior classes are busy preparing for the Credit Union Quiz. Tiarnach’s has a good record of success in this competition over the years. Go n-éirí an t-ádh leo go léir.
- 3rd – 6th classes are rolling and tumbling each Thursday as they spend their time with Gymnastic Coaches. Junior classes will enjoy this later in the year.
- 6th class have participated in Enterprise Workshops. Pupils come together, brain storm, develop a concept, a business plan and co-operatively work and develop together. This will be ongoing for quite a while. Watch out for the budding entrepreneurs!!
- Wild Wednesdays Club – about 40 children from a range of classes enjoy an after schools club of sport, drama, art, cookery, ICT and FUN!!
