Your child still needs to bring a small snack for break time and a drink. If you have any queries regarding the lunches, please email info@thelunchbag.ie and they will be happy to help.

The Lunch Bag has recently teamed up with renowned psychologist, Dr. David Coleman. Please read the leaflet below for his expert guidance on fostering healthy eating habits in children.

New Primary Mathematics Curriculum - Information for Parents

The aim of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum is that children see maths as important and useful to their everyday lives.
It is essential that parents/guardians are made aware of the changes to the curriculum that have taken place to date and what will be happening over the years to come. In this regard the Department of Education, in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) and the Professional Development for Teachers (PDST), has developed a leaflet which is designed to introduce these changes and encourage parent/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.

The leaflet is presented in many languages. Please select one to read information about the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum.

The NCCA, NCSE and PDST have developed a leaflet which introduces parents to the changes in the new curriculum and encourages parents/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.
