‘Fáilte romhaibh’
Welcome to all our pupils for the 2017-18 school year. An extra special welcome to all our new pupils, parents and teachers. We are happy to have you in our school community.

PROBLACHT NA H EIREANN CENTRAL MODEL INFANTS’ SCHOOL TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND We, the children of Central Model Infants’ School would like to share our wishes for Ireland as we remember the Easter Rising of 1916. We believe that in the Ireland of 2016, education is important for everyone and will give people the chance to get a job and have a greater quality of life. We believe that everyone should have a warm safe home and access to fresh, healthy food. We believe that everyone should have suitable clothes for our changeable weather, and the opportunity to get medical help if they need it. We believe in an honest Ireland, an Ireland that respects everyone and treats each person equally and fairly. We want Ireland to be like our school, where we celebrate each person’s culture, religion and talents. We also cherish our Irish heritage by speaking Irish, and celebrating Irish culture through song and dance. We want to live in a ‘Green’ Ireland where people do not litter or cause pollution. We must respect the earth and the food and water it provides. We will always cherish our freedom and never take it for granted. We hope that Ireland remains a peaceful and safe country for all who live here. Finally, we honour the boys and girls of today who are the Ireland of tomorrow.

Here’s wishing all of us good health and happiness on our educational journey.

Meet the new Active Schools Committee
Our new Active Schools Committee held their first meeting in October. Our committee has six members from first class and three members from senior infants and junior infants.
To begin our meeting we discussed what it means to be active. The boys and girls had lots of ideas about how we keep active- we move in lots of different ways like walking, skipping, jogging, jumping, hopping. We can also play games like football and basketball.
We then had a chat about how we are active in school.
- We climb on the climbing frame
- We jog and run in the yard
- We skip in the yard
- We play football and basketball
- We go swimming
- We do P.E. every week
To finish our meeting we set ourselves a new challenge for term 1. We are going to focus on learning how to skip. Mark from Skip’n’Rope visited us in September and taught us some new skipping skills. Each class are going to learn a new skipping rhyme and some different types of skips and show off their skills to the whole school at end of October. Here are some photos of our skipping workshop in September.
Room 1 in Malahide Park
We spent a brilliant day together with Ms. Groves in Malahide Park. We explored Malahide Castle and climbed the spiralling stairs to get a closer look at the building! We wandered in the dark forest, discovered some beautiful trees and gathered colourful Autumn leaves. And, of course, we had loads of fun running around the playground, rolling down hills and playing football!
