4th Class Mr Conneely were very lucky to be invited to tour the new Lidl store on Wed 26th Feb before it opens officially to the public tomorrow! We got the royal tour by the Sales Operation Manager, Neil McLoughlin
Scoil Mhuire’s student council have three areas that we work on.
Here are the things that you told us you wanted and so we have asked the school for them.
We will keep you updated on progress through student assemblies, our student council notice board and our page here.
2. We are Leaders –
As part of our leadership role we are currently organising friendship day to be held on Friday the 14th of February. We are busy creating posters and organising a list of games and ideas to celebrate our friendships on friendship day. Watch out for our posters around the school which will tell you about these activities. Your teacher will decide which ones to do on friendship day.
3. We are part of our community –
We would like to hear some ideas from you about projects you think would be good to work on in our community. Please talk to the student council member in your classroom and let us know of any ideas that you have so that we can start to get involved in our amazing community.
Our launch of the Parent-School Mobile phone agreement was a big success.
Lunchtime Book Club – December Fun!
December was a month full of creativity in our Lunchtime Book Club! The children used Book Creator to make their own digital stories based on two wonderful books: ‘Little robin red vest’ by Jan Fearnley and ‘I follow the fox’ by Rob Biddulph. They added the pictures and recorded themselves reading the pages. Classes were able to watch these stories on the interactive whiteboards, but here are the links for anyone who would like to watch at home:

I Follow the Fox Story https://read.bookcreator.com/WkSyey72uEVZ3oUvdM0CCkFVzQb2/Oi-gN3kVROmrLDaKjQdbnQ
The club also created a digital story trail for the Ukrainian folk tale ‘The mitten ’ by Jan Brett. The infant classes had a great time following the story around the school and discovering all the animals that crawled into the mitten. Check out the happy faces above as they discovered each page, scanned the QR code and heard our bookclub members reading to them!
To wrap up the month, the children made special bookmarks for the new books they were hoping to receive for Christmas! It was a wonderful way to finish the year with creativity and fun.
Into 2025 with an audiobook
We’ve started 2025 with something a bit different for January’s Book Club! This month, we’re enjoying Neil Gaiman’s ‘Fortunately, the milk…’ as an audiobook, while also playing games inspired by tall tales and imagination. The children have been sharing their favourite book recommendations with one another, and in our first meeting we had a fun, giant Kahoot quiz on children’s classics. Congratulations to the three sixth-class boys who were the ultimate winners! It’s shaping up to be a fun and book-filled year ahead! Happy Reading, E. Walsh
