To foster creativity, we allow our pupils to design our homework journals. Our snazzy new Homework Journals arrived recently!!! Well done to the designers, Luna and Grace. Cant wait to get started. Another great achievement for these girls!
What a fantastic first full week back we have had!
To celebrate our return to school and the sunny weather, our Parents Council very kindly treated all girls and boys to icepops early this week. It was a lovely treat . Special thanks to Paula and Breda for delivering the goods!!! The weather was so fantastic along with enjoying our icepops in school we also had some classes outdoors and went out and about as much as we could making the most of the fantastic weather.

Uniform swap ...
As a Green School during the school year we collected all unwanted uniforms that are in good condition. Our Parents Council have now organised a "Uniform Swap" for your convenience. Parents can call to the school this Friday, August 25th between 10am and 2pm to collect/drop off unwanted uniforms. The uniforms are located in the reception area. This is a self-service arrangement. Please note that uniforms can be dropped to the school at any time throughout the year. As well as being good for our environment, we hope it will help reduce family costs. Well done to our Green School Committee and Parents Council for organising this event.
FURTHER INFORMATION
This will be our second year running our Uniform Swap Shop - an event organised by Bunscoil's Parents Council and Green-School Committee. Did you know that every year Irish people dump 225,000 tonnes of clothing?! This is a huge waste of energy and water and fabric can take years to biodegrade. School uniforms are usually made with synthetic materials like polyester (which contain plastic) and can actually take up to 200 years to break down!
Perhaps your child has outgrown their uniform or is moving on to secondary school? No younger siblings or cousins to pass them on to? Donating uniform items to our Swap Shop means they will get a new life instead of ending up as waste in landfill.
We are looking for uniforms that are washed, clean and of good quality (no holes or tears). We are particularly asking parents of the senior infant boys and 6th class girls to see if there is anything suitable that could be passed on, especially the PE tracksuits.
If you have something for the Swap Shop, it can be dropped off at the school on Friday the 25th from 10am to 2pm. Please support our scheme and help us to care for the environment!. Thank you.
