Telling time in 1st Class!

1st Class Red has been learning all about time in Maths. They have been learning how to read and record various times by engaging in lots of fun and hands-on activities during our Maths stations. They have also been practicing how to read the times in hours as Gaeilge too!

MS Readathon

Reading Month is over. To date €237,000 and counting has been raised by readers all over Ireland. As of last week, the participating children in John Scottus and their sponsors have contributed €1,052 to this. The MS Readathon will accept donations until the 23rd of December. Thank you all so much for taking on the challenge. Reading can be a great solace and distraction in turbulent times. Well done everybody!
