Morning Supervision for School Library

A thuismitheoirí/ a chaomhnóirí,

Belgrove Senior Girls’ School is very fortunate to have a well-stocked school library. It is used on a daily basis by various classes. The girls are free to borrow a wide variety of books to enhance their reading skills.

All the books in our library are catalogued electronically on the Aladdin Library system and organised alphabetically by Author on the library shelves.

It is proposed to setup a rota of 6^th class girls to help maintain the library by organising the books on the shelves and cataloguing new books in to the library system. It is hoped that the girls could perform this function before formal classroom teaching begins, from 8:45 – 9:00 am, three mornings a week.

In order to facilitate this we are looking for parent volunteers to help supervise the girls in the library on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 8:45-9:00am. If you think you could give 15 minutes of your time on one or more of these mornings, on a weekly basis or fortnightly basis, please contact the school office on 01-8331888 or email to info@belgroveseniorgirls.ie.

Thanking you for your continued support.

Le meas,

Catherine Brodie,

Library Co-ordinator

Belgrove Gaelic Football

Comhghairdeas to our Belgrove Gaelic Football Teams!

This year we fielded two gaelic football teams a League and Cup team.

Congratulations to all girls on the League team who have topped Group A in their league.

The Corn Austin Finn also topped their group and then narrowly defeated St. Colmcille’s, Knocklyon in a thrilling Quarter Final game. The girls went on to secure a place in Croke Park after a very tight semi-final game against St. Pius NS in Ringsend Park.

Go n-éirí libh a chailíní!

Belgrove abú!

Time to tell the Time!

We have been studying TIME in Maths.

Tell the time on analogue and digital clocks, using 5 minute intervals
Calculate the time elapsed/duration between two given times
Given a time, figure out what the time would be ___ minutes earlier or later.

Here are some online games that you may find helpful for practising this topic:

http://www.timemonsters.com/speakingClock.html

http://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/hickoryDickory/

These websites have been tried and tested for suitability, but as always, please monitor your daughter carefully while using the Internet.

You can assist your child by drawing attention to Time at home, for example

Reading the time on the clock (digital and/or analogue)
Calculating the duration of a tv show given the start and end time
Calculating what time they will finish their 15mins of Library Book reading
Figuring out how many hours and minutes until bedtime
Encouraging your child to wear a watch can be very helpful

Have a great TIME trying them out!

Mrs. Brodie
