Christmas Mile With A Smile!!

As part of our Active School Project, we decided to run a ‘Christmas Mile With A Smile’ on our last day of school before the Christmas Holidays. All the children were feeling very festive in their Christmas jumpers and hats!

Santa Visited Us!

The children were all very excited on the last day of school to see Santa himself coming in for a visit! He gave a gift to each child and told them he would do his best to bring them what they wanted for Christmas! Great fun all round, followed by Assembly where there was plenty of singing and prizes given to various classes.

All the children in the school took part in our Christmas Nativity 2018 – ‘Straw & Order’ – a battle for the stable between the cows and the donkeys! The children and staff had great fun putting this nativity together and we hope everyone who came to see it enjoyed it as much as we did!

We had a great Christmas here at the school with plenty going on! The Polar Express came to town with an elf version of each pupil on board! This was on show in the GP room where we held our Nativity Play for all the families on 21st December. The children worked very hard on the shows and we hope everyone enjoyed it. 

On the last day of school before Christmas Santa came to the school with a gift for all the children! We are very lucky here at St. Naul’s because Santa visits us every year!

Book Fair 2017
Book Fair 2017

Yesterday we held our Book Fair at the school. This was a great chance for the children to buy their favourite books and for the parents and guardians to come along and support the school. The school will earn commission on all the books purchased at the fair and we will now be able to buy new books for the school. Thank you so much to all the parents, guardians and grandparents who came along on the day to buy books. We are very grateful for your support.

Making Books for the Infants!
Making Books for the Infants!

Every year the children of 5th & 6th Classes write a book for each child in the Infant Room. Every Senior pupil is paired with a Junior or Senior Infant. They interview them, and then write a story which is typed into a short book with pictures tailor made for each Infant! All the 5th & 6th Class pupils enjoy this project and hopefully the Infants will enjoy their books when they are ready! Preparations have started with the interview stage!

School Tours 2017

We took two separate tours this year to the same venue – Finn Valley Centre. All the children took part in a day of sporting activities and games and some of them even got to meet boxer Jason Quigley and see the coastguard helicopter up close!

Our thanks to the Parents Association for their contribution towards the cost of the buses for the tours. The children all had a fantastic day out and arrived home happy and tired!
