The Great Carysfort Bake Sale – Friday 16th October!

There is great excitement building for our annual Parents’ Association Bake Sale on Friday 16th October, and this year’s event promises to be as wonderful as ever!

The Bake Sale will also have a special Gaeilge theme, with children encouraged to use their cúpla focal when purchasing their treats. We look forward to hearing plenty of Gaeilge throughout the day!

There will be lots of fun activities, including Halloween-themed guessing games, prizes for spectacular Showstopper Cakes and plenty of delicious treats. Our Sixth Class pupils will also be lending a helping hand, continuing a lovely Carysfort tradition.

The PA is introducing prizes for the best Showstopper Cakes across the different class levels, giving even more children an opportunity to showcase their creativity and baking talents.

The Bake Sale will be nut-free, and a gluten-free table is also being planned. Arrangements will be made to support children with additional sensory needs so that everyone can enjoy the occasion.

A huge thank you to the Bake Sale Committee and all the parents who are giving their time and energy to organise what is always such a special event in our school calendar. We are looking forward to another fantastic day!

We are delighted and proud that we have opened up a new AS class!

Cybersafe Kids is working with our 4th, 5th and 6th class pupils this week, helping them to develop the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe, responsible and confident online.

Through engaging activities and discussions, pupils are learning about online safety, digital citizenship and making positive choices when using technology. This connects well with our SPHE curriculum and also with our Smart Phone Policies and Procedures.

We look forward to continuing this important work throughout the week!

We are delighted to have a fantastic programme of sport in place for our pupils again this year.

Granada Soccer will be in Carysfort every Friday throughout the full school year, providing soccer coaching to pupils from 2nd to 6th Class. These sessions will give the children an opportunity to develop their skills, teamwork and confidence while enjoying lots of active participation.

We are also delighted to continue our partnership with Kilmacud Crokes GAA, who will be working with our Senior Infants and 1st Class pupils every week, introducing and developing skills in camogie, hurling and Gaelic football.

These weekly coaching sessions are a wonderful addition to our school PE programme and reflect our commitment to giving all children opportunities to be active, develop new skills, experience a variety of sports and, most importantly, enjoy being active together.

We are looking forward to welcoming all of our children back on Monday 31st of August.

 

Don’t forget 2nd class to 5th wear their school uniform on the first day back!

There has been great progress in the building of our new class, so please be mindful of building work in the Junior Yard.
