New Headlines Newssheet Launched.

We discontinued the termly Grapevine and replaced it with a monthly newssheet to keep parents in touch with what goes on at St. Eithne's. Of course, I still produce these web pages for those of you who preferr an electronic copy of St. Eithne's News.

This year DENI agreed to fund the completion of the school. Believe it or not this was our 8th year and the school was still not quite complete.   The school name was placed on the front wall of the school. A new bin enclosure has been built. Cathy had finally found some privacy as her office was given a glass screen. and the grounds were planted with trees and shrubs.

We also started creating our own nature area so that our children could go Bug Hunting, Pond dipping and obviously increase their knowledge about living things. Mrs. Mc Clean and Miss Coyle involved as many of the children in the planting and pond building.

 

First Interactive Whiteboards

Our first new Interactive whiteboards were up and running. There were altogether 8 such boards installed in the school. What do they do? Children can use a special pen on the board to move objects around, write sentences play educational games on this touch sensitive screen, which is the same size as a blackboard. It was the latest piece of educational technology, which is taking schools by storm, and of course St. Eithne’s was already ahead of the game with a board for every year group and one being used for special needs.

The School Show " Little Red Riding Hood"

Yum!

Our school show this year was Little Red Riding Hood. It was a great success once again. Here we see Nicole as "Big Bad" the wolf. At this stage of course she has already neaten Bronagh our little eccentic granny.
