Dear Parents,
We wish you happy Easter holidays,
Some information before we go back:
1) Operation '10,000 Hearts for the Hospital' linked to The Heart Race in France was very successful with the pupils of the school thanks to the the teachers' involvement and the parents' support.
For example see: http://irun4you.com/2012/03/23/i-run-4-you-250-hearts-from-dublin-lfi-school-to-paris/
2) The weeks after we go back on 16th April will be the final countdown to the grand exhibition of 12th May 2012, where all the pupils will exhibit the work and activities they have carried out this school year in class. The day before, the 11th May, the scientist Pierre Lena will be in our school to meet our pupils and teachers. Mr. Lena is very involved in science education for children. He will also be present at our exhibition on 12th May.
You can listen to his interview of 15th March on France Culture: http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-la-marche-des-sciences-sous-la-bonne-etoile-de-pierre-lena-2012-03-15
We're looking forward to welcoming him to our school! |

NEWSLETTER NUMBER 1 9 JANUARY 2012 |

Dear Parents
All the staff of Foxrock join me in wishing you a happy and prosperous new year! This year we will try to send out regular newsletters by e-mail, which will also be available on the LFI website. As part of our constant search for ways of improving the children’s day at school and meeting health and safety recommendations, various new practices will be introduced in the primary school in the new year. 1- New coat hangers which meet current safety standards better, and of which there will be enough, have been put up in the school corridors(hangsafehooks.com).2- We have to find quickly a solution for lunches other than the supervisory staff heating up individual lunchboxes in the microwaves. The recommendation is to suggest to families who want their child to have a hot meal that they get a good quality thermos. A meal which is heated up in the morning at home then put in the thermos will stay hot until lunchtime. The thermos which families who are already using this system recommend is easily available: www.argos.ie or in Decathlon shops for those who go to France from time to time. This system can also be used for cold meals, so as not to break the ‘cold chain’. From Monday, we will be giving out the leaflet " Healthy Lunchboxes" from Safe food. The goal is to have no more meals heated up in microwaves in the school corridors by the month of February. 3- You can view our monthly calendar describing the activities planned for January on our website:www.lfi.ie 4- We can already announce to you that the CM1s and CM2s will have six weeks of bicycle road safety sessions in the school in March/April. This training will be done in collaboration with Dun Laoghaire County Council. All the necessary equipment will be provided, but it is important to know in advance if there are some children who can’t ride a two-wheeler…... There are about two months left for them to learn!

| Experiments with Hervé This | |||||
 |
 |
 |
|||
| On Monday morning 26th September Mr. Hervé This came to the gym in our school to work with the 36 CE1s in the classes of Corinne and Michèle. Mr. This is someone who does a lot of cooking experiments. He showed us how to get the white of an egg out without the yolk falling in the bowl. We noticed with him that the egg yolk is actually orange, not yellow, and that the white is yellow. Afterwards, he showed us that when you put a piece of paper in the water, if you turn the bowl, the paper stays in the same place. After that, we mixed the egg whites with a whisk, which hurt our arms. Mr. This showed us the transparent bubbles that made in the bowl. We’re going to continue the chemistry experiments in class: we’re going to start beating an egg white again with a whisk to make the biggest amount of foam possible. |

Thursday the 15th of September 2011 -The school rewarded!
Two pupils from last year’s Green School Committee went to the Town Hall in Dun Laoghaire with Ms Pieussergues, a new teacher at the school and Ms Morvan, our primary school director to accept a certificate as part of the "Tidy Schools in the Community Competition Awards Ceremony" on Thursday 15th September. The school was rewarded for the efforts made in making the school attractive to users: yard and walls painted and clean, and really well-kept gardens.The Certificate was presented by the Mayor and his environmental officer, Dean Eaton. Our ‘green’ delegates left with a little bag of presents and a book token to buy books for the school.
Bravo to the green committee! -
