Caim NS Parents’ Association will hold their annual AGM and open evening on Wednesday 6th November at 7.30pm. All parents/guardians of the school are invited to attend

1st and 2nd class were replaced with witches, warlocks, minions and zombies at the end of October this year as the children dressed up for Halloween. It was a fun end to a busy month. The children covered Autumn and Halloween in Aistear, spending their afternoons on nature hunts, digging in the sandpit, creating clay hedgehogs and then making witches potions, haunted houses and creating Halloween dress up fashion shows. In Maths we were working on days, months and calendars in 2nd class while both classes were concentrating on their procedural writing! We learned about India including the Taj Mahal and henna tattoos. As Gaeilge, bhíomar ag déanamh ar scoil agus Oiche Shamhna while in our PE we concentrated on outdoor and adventure with a few GAA sessions with Anais thrown in too. The children learned new techniques for drawing pumpkins, bats and spider webs too with lots of spooky art leaving our classroom before Halloween. Well done everyone!

The boys and girls had great fun during Maths Week this year. Each class enjoyed some online activities, brainteasers, maths trails, indoor & outdoor maths games, Caim NS Bingo and getting extra time with our hands-on maths resources. Well done to 5th class who organised our outdoor games and 6th class who took on our indoor games, all the children had great fun. Well done to all our winners for our Art and Estimation Competitions!

Happy Hallowe’en from the infant classroom🎃👻🧙 We had a really lovely week! Enjoy the break everyone.

4th and 5th class had a busy September this year with Mr Kavanagh. They have been working on their Stay Safe while also reading the novel Running Wild by Michael Morpurgo. As Gaeilge bhí siad ag foghlaim faoi Mé Féin and in their maths work they covered time! They were also busy with Mini 7s and Rackard league while covering the Games Strand in their PE.

In music the class have started the tin-whistle this year and we look forward to more performances at assembly. Well done 4th and 5th!

A big THANK YOU to the Baile Dubh Tire Ladies who visited our school this morning!
