Learning through Play...
|
We follow a child-centred curriculum with a ‘hands-on’ learning approach and an emphasis on language acquisition and development. We use a framework called Aistear which is structured Play where children can become Bakers, Chefs, Witches, Wizards, Zoo Keepers, Doctors, Jungle Explorers and many more!
It is likely that this September there will be some restrictions placed on our usual form of hands-on, group based learning in class. We will be sure to follow all Department of Education guidelines on this and will always put pupil safety first. |
Reading and Writing...

Numeracy...
We place an emphasis on children leading their own learning and putting themselves at the heart of the learning process... |

Aladdin ConnectDuring the recent school closure we have moved our communications to the Aladdin Connect App. This is free for parents to use and allows us to send information to you instantly. You can also view and edit your child’s personal details on the app; change of phone number, new address etc. We have also used it this year to set and receive school work from the children while they are at home due to the closure.
It is essential that at least one parent of each child in the school has the app so that you don’t miss out on important information. If you have had any problems activating the app please email assumptionjsclosure2020@gmail.com giving your child’s name and some details about the issue you are experiencing Parent's Council in Assumption Junior SchoolWe are very fortunate to have an active Parents’ Council in our school and its role is:
