Our First Virtual Assembly

3/4/2020

We love our assemblies at Esker. They are a chance for us to explore the Learn Together curriculum, showcase our learning and get together and celebrate our wonderful school community.

We are all missing one another right now so our teachers got together to launch our first Virtual School Assembly! As long as our school stays closed we will post our assembly here each Friday.

This assembly was pre-recorded but we are working on a plan to stream future assemblies live so we can all interact with each other!

Video 1 is of our assembly.
Video 2 shows us how important it is to have the right hand washing technique.
Video 3 is of our much loved school song, 'What a Wonderful World.'

We will tell you when to play the second & third videos!

Stay safe, enjoy the assembly, we miss you!

Congratulations to Fourth Class Red, winners of the Golden Boot for WOW (Walk on Wednesdays) Week! These children found the most alternatives to travelling to school by car. Children can walk, cycle, scoot, car pool or park and stride to win points for their classes. Now that the weather is getting warmer, there's no excuse to find a more eco-friendly way to travel to school!

Growth Mindset with Third Class Green

Third Class Green spoke about the benefits of a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset and how having a growth mindset can build resilience in children and adults!

Chinese New Year with Junior Infants

it was such a treat to see Junior Infants Green and Junior Infants Red's first ever Learn Together Assembly performance for Chinese New Year. Well done everyone!

POW (problem of the week) Numeracy Initiative

Senior children created maths POWs and the children at the assembly had to figure out the answers. Keep up the good work and keep sending your POWs to Gemma!

Chinese New Year

Fourth Class Red performed a song, a poem and a play about Chinese New Year (January 25th). 2020 is the Year of the Rat. The rat is the first in the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. Chinese New Year is celebrated in many countries around the world, such as Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, South Korea, Cambodia, the Philippines, Mauritius and in certain parts of Europe and North America.
