Christmas Jumper Day 2021

Once again this year, Hansfield ETNS will be participating in National Christmas Jumper Day in aid of the Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin.  This hugely popular event raises vital funds for sick children in Ireland. We had such a fun day last year - have a look again at last year's video!
​

Hansfield ETNS  will commence accepting online applications for Senior Infants to 6th Class 2022/23 from Friday, 14th January  2022 at 10am.
Kim's Senior Infants class celebrated Diwali with pupils today. They learnt that Diwali is the 'festival of lights'.
They talked about cleaning the house, decorating it and making Rangolis. 
They also tried their hands at making a bright and joyful Rangoli using coloured porridge oats, rice, couscous, sand, tumeric and pasta.  See the video here...

Our wonderful Parent/Teacher Association never ceases to amaze us.  They have just won joint second place in the Fred O'Connell National Parents' Council (NPC) Innovation Award 2021.
The award took place at the NPC AGM on Saturday the 25th of September 2021.
It was awarded in recognition of the extraordinary work by PTA in organising the 'Around the World in 80,000 Kilometres' challenge.  The committee found it was fun, educational, inclusive and a health-benefiting event.  See the NPC website!

A big thank you to Vinaya from the PTA for putting together a 'Crossword of Names' for each class.  Children will have fun finding their own name and those of their friends and teacher on the crossword. This took a lot of time and effort on Vinaya's part and I hope she knows how much we appreciate her hard work. Each class will their very own framed copy. Bualadh Bos do Vinaya!!!
