We painted square canvas panels to create our very own coasters as unique Mother's Day gifts. It was our first time using acrylic paint and we really enjoyed it. We were asked to give our work a title, which was new and exciting too. 'Now, where's that cup of tea?'

Dear Parents,
The INTO has launched a pre-budget campaign calling for greater investment in primary education. The ‘Stand up for primary education’ campaign is demanding improvements in class size, funding and supports for school leaders in next month’s budget. State funding for primary schools has never been generous and as you know we rely on your generosity to make up the shortfall. Irish class sizes are also the second biggest in Europe with about 125,000 pupils in classes of thirty or more. State funding for school running costs at primary is 92c per pupil per day while second level schools get almost double (€1.77) for each student. This funding covers school running costs such as electricity bills, heating costs and water charges. Primary school classrooms must be opened, heated, cleaned and maintained for a month longer, but are expected to do this with just over half the funding. A lifting of the ban on promotion would also help schools to deal with increased demands like special education, computing and literacy and numeracy. Your support for this campaign is needed and would be greatly appreciated. It’s also easy to do.
Thank you for your support in standing up for Primary Education
Our Welcome Meetings will take place tomorrow evening September 15th at 7.00 pm in your daughters' classrooms. This will be a chance for parents to meet class teachers and hear about the plan for the year ahead. The meetings will take no longer than 40 minutes. We hope to see you all there!
