Librarians Came to Visit

On 26th November, two lovely librarians, Carl and Charlotte, from Kildare Library Services visited the school.
They told the children all about the wonderful free services available — and even gifted us some free books!

Scholastic Book Fair

Today, the children enjoyed a special “Look and See” session where they had the chance to browse through the wide selection of books on offer. Each child created a Wish List of the books that caught their eye and may be of interest to them.

We look forward to the excitement the Book Fair will bring over the coming days and appreciate your support in fostering a love of reading in our school.

Goodbye, Mrs Lamb

We said an emotional goodbye to Mrs. Lamb. Mrs. Lamb and her family have been part of the Hewetson School community for the past five years, and we can’t thank her enough for all the support and care she has given the children, parents, and staff. We wish her every happiness in the next exciting chapter of her life. As we like to say, it’s not goodbye — it’s see you later.

Shoebox Appeal

A massive thank you to all the children and parents who made up Christmas Shoeboxes for the Team Hope Appeal. Over 50 shoeboxes were collected from Hewetson NS today 🎁

Science Week

The children are really enjoying all the experimenting and investigating for Science Week.

Skip Around The World

All the pupils in Hewetson NS are taking part in the three week skipping challenge. We are trying to see how far we can skip. We will keep you all updated on our progress. 

Lego Club

One of our 5th class pupil has set up a Lego Club at lunch time. All the children are really enjoying the new club :) 

Food Dudes

We have all been taking part in 'Food Dudes'. We've really enjoyed tasting all the different types of fruit and vegetables. We are trying to increase how much fruit and vegetables we eat to keep us healthy. Infants had a visitor from Food Dudes to tell them all about the programme.

We were all so excited to come to school at night for our Halloween movie night. The student council picked two movies and made up yummy treat bags for everyone to enjoy while watching their movie. A big thanks to all the teachers for organising the event and being there with us on the night😃🎃 

🎃Halloween Bake Sale 🎃

5th and 6th class organised a super spooky Halloween bake sale. The school set to work on baking and creating delicious cakes and treats. They raised nearly €600 and we all had a great time going to buy our goodies. Go raibh míle maith agaibh go léir. 

Maths Week

New Equipment 

The children were delighted with the new sports equipment. A big thanks to Mrs. Milsom for sourcing and purchasing all the new equipment.

DIY SOS Day

I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all our amazing parents, children, and staff, for coming together to make our DIY SOS Day such a fantastic success. Thanks to your incredible efforts, we accomplished so much to create a safer and more beautiful environment for all the children.

It was truly wonderful to see everyone working side by side, and the positive energy and great buzz from start to finish made the day even more special. Beyond the hard work, it was also a fantastic opportunity to get to know one another better and strengthen our community spirit.

We couldn’t have done it without all the enthusiasm, support, and teamwork. Here’s to many more days like this!

SNA Appreciation Day- 25/9/25
