Dear Parents/Guardians,

We hope you are well this week. Our news is as follows:

• Tomorrow we will be holding our sponsored walk here in school at 10a.m. If it is raining the walk will be postponed to another day but if it is sunny please ensure you have applied sun screen to your child & that they have extra water. Sponsorship cards must be returned to school by tomorrow Friday even if they are not filled out. A big thank you to everyone for taking part.

• On Tuesday we had a very successful visit from the Birds of Prey centre. Each class got a chance to see the birds up close and we were very lucky the weather was good as we got to see the birds flying as well in the afternoon.
• Thank you to Raquel Walton who came in to do clay printing with 3^rd class last Thursday. The pupils really enjoyed it and got to make their own clay plaques!
• Last Friday 2^nd class went to see the Irish Coast Guard Helicopter which has a base in Shannon. They got a tour of the operations room and everyone was so excited to get to sit inside the helicopter and see some of the medical and safety equipment on board. Thank you to Kamil’s dad and Philip Wrenn for giving us a fantastic tour!
• Dates for school tours are listed below and class teachers have sent home further information with the pupils:

• This week we sent home an order form with all pupils for the school tracksuit for next year. We have organised for the supplier to come in on Wednesday 7^th June from 7.00 to 8.30pm to facilitate trying on tracksuits for sizing if you need to. Alternatively if you know your child’s size just fill out the order form and return it to the school office with the 10.00euro deposit.  We are unable to take orders for tracksuits after 7^th
• Tolas will be closed from Mon 29th May next until Monday 5^th June for mid-term break. School will re-open on Tuesday 6th June at 9a.m. for all pupils.

Kind regards,

Mary Dunlea Fitzgerald, Principal
