We recently held elections for the first ever school
student council. Pupils were elected from each class
from 4th to 6th by their own classmates to represent
their view and ideas on how to improve school life
and promote new projects.

This week the Nurture group made ghosts made out of bamboo sticks,
felt, plastic and white sheets. Then we put them out in the garden.
The older Nurture group carved pumpkins and we put them out in the
garden as well. We also decorated the herb wheel with warning tape
and fake spider webs then we put the pumpkins in the middle of the
herb wheel.
So drop down to Scoil San Carlo’s garden and get spooked by the
HERB WHEEL OF HORROR!!!!
My name is Reva and I am 11 years
old. The book I published is called
"The Legend of the Book of Secrets".
The book is about a girl moving into a
new house but she realises that there is
someone or something enchanted in
her house that needs help!

3rd/4th class Mini Soccer Leagues 2019
Well done to all the pupils who took part in the recent 3rd and
4th class mini soccer leagues in the school. Over 90 pupils
played. The standard was amazing and the sportsmanship
was wonderful. Here are the overall winners
Ms O Shea’s class have been very busy recently combining Art and
Craft with Science! Firstly, a few weeks ago, they constructed
volcanoes using a salt dough base. Then, this week, they mixed
vinegar and baking soda to see if they could re-create the eruption
process. You can see what happened in the photos below...
Mr. Sherlock's class
completed a marathon over
7 weeks in conjunction with
the Marathon Kids Ireland

Dear Parents / Guardians,
The teachers have spent the last week preparing online work for their classes. We have decided to
use the online platform Padlet to provide work for the children. Teachers can be contacted by
email at the addresses on the Padlet page. The Padlet can be accessed by clicking on the
appropriate link below. This work is intended to be of assistance to you in providing structure to
your child's day and keeping your child in engaged with learning activities. It is important to
remember that this is a very stressful time for all, and each family's circumstances are different.
You will decide how much of the work your child will complete. When the children complete their
work, they can send it to their teacher's email address as an email or as an attachment.
Alternatively, photos could be taken of work done and sent on to the teacher.
A selection of pupil’s work will be posted onto the school website so they can see how their friends
are getting on.
As this is a new experience for us all we would appreciate any feedback you and your child might
like to give to their class teacher or to office@scoilsancarlo.ie this will allow the teachers to fine
tune future class Padlet pages.
The next Padlet update will be on Monday 20th April after the Easter break. Of course, pupils can,
if you wish, continue to use the links to online activities during this time.

FLAGS FOR OUR FRONTLINE
HEROES
Hang your Flags
Country, County, Club, Provincial
to show your support for Frontline Workers
during the COVID-19 crisis
Across the country, children are coming to a new realisation that heroes come in many forms
and that many of them in fact are in their own homes. In the face of the Global COVID-19
pandemic, these heroes are their parents, cousins, neighbours and friends who are spending
long hours, day and night, fighting to ensure that this virus is controlled and lives are
protected.
Education and sporting organisations, propose that, as a show of support for those workers
and volunteers on front lines at this critical time, all children who have a flag in their national,
county or club colours, or whatever team they follow across any code, would hang that flag
from their gate posts, windows, or wherever they would normally place a flag when
supporting their county club or team ahead of an important match. If they don’t have a flag,
children could be encouraged to create a flag on a sheet of paper or cardboard, or by doing
some sewing, with the added benefit of keeping them occupied for a while.
While sports events at the moment are currently postponed, such a show of solidarity from
the children of the country towards those on the front line will demonstrate our gratitude for
their marvellous dedication to their critical work at this extraordinary time. Hanging out the
flags will also provide colour to lift everybody at a time when people are psychologically
feeling the effects of this terrible pandemic.
We hope that in the coming days, with your help, every road, street, lane, avenue, estate and
apartment complex will be festooned with colour to honour our heroes - our families,
neighbours and friends in the front-line services.
