Friendship Week 2016
On Friday, at a special Assembly to celebrate Friendship Week, a young pupil said, "Every week should be a Friendship Week!"
And, how right she is! We want to keep the spirit of friendship alive in our school every minute of every day, every week, this year and every year.
Friendship Week coordinator, Mrs Woulfe thanked everybody for the great work they did to make the week a great success.
Running order for the Friendship Assembly in the School Hall:
Ms Noonan's Class (assisted by Miss Foley): 'The Friendship Poem' (and a display of some wonderful artwork by Junior Infants and Senior Infants)
Mrs Woulfe's Class: Song (full class) - 'The More We Get Together,' Readings of reports entitled, 'My Best Friend' by Oluchi, Annie, Kelly, Lilymae, Jack and Oscar...
Mrs Russell's Class: Song (full class) - 'Gift of a Friend.' Poems - readings of newly composed poems about friends and friendship by Kyle, Shannan, Ellen, Ăabha, Kailey & Ava...
Mr Bulfin: Song (full class)- 'Consider Yourself.' Friendship games (Six 3rd Class pupils describe 6 different games to promote inclusiveness and cooperation)
Mr. Nestor's Class: Friendship poems (5 new poems by five 4th Class pupils). Friendship essays (30 essays by 4th & 5th Class pupils on display in the School Hall)
Mr. O Connor's Class: 'Silent Drama' (Group mimes by 5th & 6th Class pupils, designed to get pupils to guess the friendship mottos in question before the answers are revealed... (clue: one of the mimes involves selotape - a lot of selotape - and the motto might have something to do with 'friends' and 'sticking together' ... !

History Book (Patrickswell: 1916 -2016)
F.A.O. Grandparents, Parents, Pupils,
Patrickswell Community Council is compiling a book to commemorate aspects of the history of the Patrickswell area from 1916 to 2016.
Three generations of Patrickswell people are being asked to share their memories of the past and their thoughts on the present.
It is hoped that the book will be published before Christmas. Questionnaires for grandparents, parents and pupils who attended school in Patrickswell have been distributed to some families. However, there may be more families who would like to participate in this very worthwhile project (the bigger the number, the better!). If so, please call to the School Office to collect copies of the questionnaires.
Completed questionnaires to be returned to the school as soon as possible.

Meetings for Parents
Patrickswell N.S.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
On Monday evening, September 12th, a number of short meetings
for parents will take place in the school. Each meeting will be hosted by a
Classroom Teacher. These meetings will provide teachers with an opportunity to
'meet and greet' parents and to outline some of their expectations, plans and
systems for the coming year. Resource and Learning Support teachers will also
be available to meet parents on Monday evening.
We really hope these meetings will prove to be of benefit to
parents, teachers and, ultimately, pupils. We also hope you will be able to
attend one (or two) of the meetings concerning your child(ren). To facilitate
this, the following timetable will be in operation on Monday evening:

Well done Sam!
Sam, the City Mayor's Cup team vice captain, receives his 2016 Mayor's Cup winner's medal from Deputy City & County Mayor, Gerald Mitchell. In the Mayor's Cup final, Sam's team defeated Milford NS (who defeated Patrickswell NS in the Olo Cup final recently) at the Gaelic Grounds. Sam played very well in the final. A point he scored from an acute angle,while on the run down the left wing, was arguably the score of the day.
St. Patrick's F.C., the local soccer club, had a very successful year. Some club members visited the school this week. It proved to be a hugely popular visit with the pupils who were delighted to see some of the trophies St. Pat's won during the year ... and becuase the visitors brought goodies for everybody in the audience!
