• 🐝 DCs for Bees Orchards in the Community Project 🐝

  Fri 18 Feb 2022

  This week we had an exciting delivery of some very special trees as part of the DCs for Bees Orchards in the Community project.

  We received ten different trees including apple, pear and plum trees. Orchards In The Community is part of the DCs for Bees initiative. Orchards play a key role in providing an early food source for our struggling bees as they emerge from winter. To help protect the bees and increase pollination, they are planting in excess of 1,000 mixed fruit orchards all over Ireland. For more information about this initiative, click on the link below:

• 🎅Special Christmas Visitor🎅

  Tue 21 Dec 2021

  There was great excitement yesterday as at around 9:15a.m. when  the children heard some Christmas tunes on an unusual instrument! We had a very special visitor from local piper Joe Meade whose daughter Holly is in 5^th class. Joe was joined by the main man himself!

   

  Santa Claus came to visit PJP! Santa visited all of the classrooms and had a word with all the classes and he even had a few special shout outs! Santa had a special surprise for all the boys and girls courtesy of the PA - A lovely box of sweets and a ticket for an online Panto! Thanks to the PA for this wonderful Christmas gift.

   

  Santa reminded all the children about the importance of being good for their parents and being kind to siblings over the next few days and even made a few requests for snacks on Christmas Eve! We're sure he will be well looked after in all the PJP Family Homes!

   

  Santa was keen to visit Ms. Bradshaw’s class to thank them for all their hard work on the SVP Helping Hands Appeal. He was very impressed to see so many Helping Hands on our tree!

   

   

   

  

• 🕯 Advent Assembly 🕯

  Fri 17 Dec 2021

  Today we had a very special school Advent Assembly.

   

  Father Martin and Ronan (the Parish Pastoral Worker) came to visit our Christmas Foyer and we heard some different prayers and readings.

  Father Martin lit the candles on our Advent Wreath and told us the meaning of the different coloured candles.

   

   As a special treat Ashleen, our school secretary provided us with some lovely Christmas Music. Students from different year levels read and gave some school updates about Green Schools, The Amber Flag and the SVP Helping Hands Appeal.

   

  It was a lovely assembly and helped to put us all in good mood for Christmas.

   

  A big thank-you to Ms. Kieran for organising it.
