School Year 2024/2025
Fáilte ar ais gach duine as we start our school year 2024/2025. A very special welcome to all the new children and their families who have joined us in the school this year. All children have settled back into the school routine and are enjoying participating in the swimming lessons this first term which are held in Waterworld Kilkee.
The promotion of wellbeing is central in Moveen N.S. Children and young people learn more effectively and have better academic outcomes if they are happy, believe in themselves, and feel acknowledged and supported in school.
As well as being a place of academic learning, our school provides opportunities to develop friendships and social networks, in response to the changing needs of the school and the children in our care.
In our school environment, we have developed innovative approaches to wellbeing promotion by optimising on opportunities to learn about wellbeing in our curriculum. We now have a well being Notice Board where whole school initiatives are displayed, We have set aside time in each classroom for children to take part in a well being programme and create well being booklets.
Junior Room
Junior Infants to 1st Class - Mrs. Keane
Céad Míle Fáilte Ar Ais.
We warmly welcome everyone back again this September 2023 and are delighted to have three lovely Junior Infants joining Senior Infants and First Class in the Junior Room this year. All of the children have settled in very well and are getting used to the busy day in school. They are all enjoying playing together and making new friends and have adapted very well to the classroom routine. The children have been busy bees with literacy activities, learning lots of new sounds and the Junior Infants have been practising their nursery rhymes! We all learned a beautiful song “Mr Noah” We did lots of colouring, matching and sorting activities using concrete materials in our maths stations. The stations are a great way for the children to experience a multitude of sensory learning experiences with mathematics. We are celebrating all things Autumn and our Nature table is quickly being filled with crunchy autumn leaves, pinecones, conkers. Some amazing artwork on the theme “Looking through an Autumn window” by the girls and boys is on display in the Junior classroom.
Middle Room
2nd, 3rd and 4th class - Mrs. Carmody
Collaborating on an autumn art project and designing bookmarks in preparation for a new year of Accelerated Reader, children in the middle room have really enjoyed catching up with old and new friends after the summer holidays.
Senior Room
5th and 6th class - Ms. Carroll
5th and 6th class are happy to be back in school with their classmates. We’ve had a busy week practicing our new spelling strategies in our ‘Spellings for Me’ programme and lots of maths revision. We took part in the first of a 3-part webinar series titled “Feeling Good in Body and Mind: Your Way to Wellbeing”. Itwas interesting to focus on different ways to improve our wellbeing and we look forward to next week’s webinar focusing on building resilience. In preparation for the Rugby World Cup, we are doing Tag-Rugby in PE using all the great equipment we got from collecting the ALDI stickers. We all chose a rugby team and researched that country in the chrome books and ipads. Good luck to the Irish team in the tournament!
