First Holy Communion
Inclusion week 2023
From May 2nd – May 5th, we held Inclusion Week in our school. It was a resounding success. The school came together to celebrate neurodiversity and promote inclusivity in all aspects of school life. Assemblies were held for all year groups, where pupils learned about different neurodivergent conditions, such as ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. They were encouraged to embrace neurodiversity and support each other as a united school community, regardless of their differences. The children made valuable contributions throughout the week, some sharing their own stories to help bring a greater understanding of neurodivergence. Their enthusiasm and positive attitudes helped make the week a memorable experience. Thank you to all the children for their fantastic contributions and for making Inclusion week such a success!

Food Dudes
We, at St Mary’s Primary School, are taking part in Food Dudes, a healthy eating programme, developed to encourage children to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. During the two weeks of the Food Dudes programme, there will be daily deliveries of a variety of fruits and vegetables for all children to experience.
Children will be encouraged to explore and eat as many fruits and vegetables as they can. Children can taste, talk about, smell, touch the fruit and vegetables. If they don’t taste the fruit and vegetables, they are welcome to bring it home in their lunchbox and try it at home. There are rewards along the way to keep the children motivated. There has been great feedback from the children who are thoroughly enjoying the programme. There are games, worksheets, activities and videos for parents to download available from https://www.fooddudes.ie/fun-activities/ There are also lots of delicious, healthy recipes available from the Food Dudes website at https://www.fooddudes.ie/recipes/
