A thuismitheoirí/a chaomhnóirí,
This year Belgrove Senior Girls’ School continues to support the SVP Giving Tree appeal. We are calling on you once again to contribute to this very worthy appeal.
The Giving Tree Campaign is simple. The Giving Tree is a perfect way to match gifts to the people in need of help. Simply take a tag from the Giving Tree in the school corridor and buy a new gift or gift voucher for the child or adult on the tag.

| 6-12 | Popular toys, books, make-and-do kits, art supplies, t-shirts, scarfs and gloves, accessories, music/sports shop vouchers, sports items |

Le gach dea-ghuí,

Maths Week
Maths Week started on Monday and there is great excitement around the school! There are so many different fun and engaging activities taking place. Some classes are doing fantastic Maths Art and decorating their doors with Maths facts. Some classes are perfecting their tables by doing ‘tables buddies’ with other classes and playing Queen of the Tables or Numero. There are Maths trails going on around the school and some classes are enjoying playing interactive Maths games on the laptops. Our school has registered to be part of Maths Week 2019. There are over 320,000 students nationwide signed up!
Here are some top tips for parents to help foster a love of Maths in their children.

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 6th 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
Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!
