School Attendance Week 2012 - 13

Co-ordinated by Ms. Griffin-Jones, School Attendance Week was held from Monday 4th - Friday 8th February. Over the five days a whole host of activities and events were held. Each class was invited to compose a poem, a rap, a song or a rhyme or create a piece of Art to highlight the importance of punctual and regular school attendance and celebrate the efforts made by families and children alike in ensuring attendance continues to improve.

Ms. Dempsey had organised a special assembly for Wednesday 6th February, which was our 100th day of school so far this year (only 83 more until the Summer holidays !!!!) and Dolores had created, printed and laminated beautiful certificates for the 43 people who had reached this quirky milestone on that date.

On Friday, with Ms. Griffin-Jones acting as M.C., all the classes returned to the School Hall and performed and / or displayed their work for the rest of the school.




Ms. Kehoe's 2nd Class performed a newly composed song, aptly named 'Come to School.'  It was so good that it will be used by all classes next year to promote 'good attendance.'

Judge for yourselves how 'catchy' it is by playing the video below.
