4th Class Egyption Dolls!
Ahhhhh ! King Tut has awakened!
Gold and blue – the colours of King Tut. Ms. O’Mahony’s 4th class created beautiful Egyptian masks. Truly amazing, all are unique. Just look below and see each and every one !!! Rachel
Ancient Egypt returns!
Ancient Egypt has returned to Ms. O’Mahony’s 4th class, We have made these gorgeous masks from plaster of paris and painted them with royal blue and a shimmering gold on a background of cardboard. They’re so amazing, they really do look like King Tut’s death mask!
I feel like a pharaoh!
We made probably the coolest masks ever! My mask was legendary!
We first covered the mask in Vaseline and stuck plaster of paris on. Then we put a backing on. We painted it in metallic gold and royal blue and we were finished.

They cannot talk back !
The Scoil Niocláis Website.
The Scoil Niocláis website displays children’s work, tells of some their school experiences and keeps parents and friends informed.
IT IS NOT AN INTERACTIVE WEBSITE.
Children cannot put information on the website. Children cannot email from the school website.
Teachers are the only people who are permitted to put information up on the school website.
Well done to all those teachers who use the school website to parade, display and showcase the talents of the pupils in Scoil Niocláis.
A special mention for the webmistress, Ms. Mary Walsh and one of our parents, Mr. Brian O’Flaherty who were the initial driving force behind this initiative.
Molaim sibh!

A Big Thank You to Parents
A Big Thank You
Dear Parents and Friends,
As you are well aware, fund-raising for our school has been ongoing for a number of years. We would like to inform you that due to your continued support over these years, we have been able to clear our initial debt.
Now that we are in more difficult times, we appreciate it is going to be hard for parents to continue in this vein. With the building of our extension almost ready to commence we would ask parents to where possible, continue supporting our fund-raising efforts in any way they can.
Mile buiochas also to the members of the Scoil Nioclais Parents Association for all their hard work during the year in supporting the school in many different ways. It is much appreciated.
Once again, on behalf of the Board of Management of Scoil Nioclais, we thank you for your support in the past and look forward to your continued support in the future.
Kindest regards
Fr. John Walsh

Intercultural Day Tomorrow!
A sincere thank you to the parents who have offered to help out with our Intercultural Celebration. In order to add to the colour and atmosphere of the day, all children are invited to wear clothes that represent either their own or another country. The more creative the better! Why not make your own costume using the colours of a particular country's flag? We look forward to seeing your efforts, and who knows, there may be a few prizes for original costumes!!

Scoil Nioclais Intercultural Day Friday 18th June
One of our great traditions here at Scoil Nioclais is our annual Intercultural day where students can both learn and explain different aspects of other cultures.
In the past we have had great support from parents on this day, whereby they came and brought a taste of their country to the students. Events included:
-Dance and Musical displays
-Cookery demonstrations and sharing of recipes
-Wearing and explanations of National Costumes
-A visit to your child's class to talk about your country
-Story telling, translations and much more.
We would be delighted to hear from parents who would like to bring a little of their native country to Scoil Nioclais and would welcome any ideas you have. Help us keep this wonderful tradition going by contacting Orla (SNPA), through the school office or Rosemary in Room 18.

Nuacht Niocláis - latest news
Parent Contributions
Many of the services that Scoil Niocláis provides are as a result of parent contributions. Recently, those contributions to swimming, art, Irish Dancing and local contribution are “drying up”. The school has tried to lessen the financial burden on families in recent years by cutting some activities e.g. Speech and Drama classes and by reducing the number of fundraising events e.g. Golf Classic etc..
However, if we are to continue to offer the best learning environment and experiences for our pupils, all parents must make the effort to contribute. Otherwise, these events will have to be cancelled. So, if you haven’t made your contributions to date, we would be grateful if you could do so now. Thank you all for your continuing support for Scoil Niocláis.
Please refer to the recent note from the school to all families.

Safety at the main entrance
It has come to our attention that some pedestrians at school opening and closing times are standing across the main entrance. This is an extremely dangerous practice. While waiting, pedestrians should stand on the footpaths. Please do not stand or park in the way of cars exiting and entering the school.
Sun safety.
