Having reviewed safety conditions in and around the school, the board has decided to remain closed tomorrow, Tuesday. I will update re Wednesday later tomorrow. Thanks, Emer

School will reopen tomorrow, Tuesday. Please do not leave children on yard before 8.50 as it will be unsupervised. If you are uncomfortable about driving, please remain at home. I am happy to take attendance later tomorrow (after 12), so if you decided to wait for a further thaw, that is fine with me. Above all, stay safe. Thanks, Emer

The board of management has decided to remain closed tomorrow, Monday, due to the road conditions around school. I will update again tomorrow with regard to Tuesday. Thanks, Emer

I hope everyone is warm and cosy today! I have some links here to help with cabin fever. As it is engineers’ week this week, I have included some engineering and STEM challenges that should help to keep children occupied. If your child takes part in any of the activities, I would love for you to post a picture to our Twitter account @Castletown_NS. There will be prizes for those who do! 15 engineering challenges kids love {STEAM} http://www.primaryscience.ie/activities_advanced_search.php?type=teacher_created&page=1 https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/161dd3c6828af1e1 http://www.engineersweek.ie/ Thanks also to Aideen O’Flaherty who sent me this link – it looksgreat! http://durris.aberdeenshire.sch.uk/snow-packs/ Don’t forget those pictures!
