On the last week of term, Junior and Senior Infants brought in

their teddy bears for a Teddy Bears' Picnic. 

Both children and teddies had great fun. 

Many thanks to the wonderful boys and girls of 1st and 2nd

class for spreading the Christmas cheer this morning as they 

sang a number of Christmas songs for us in the school hall. 



3rd to 6th class will perform tomorrow morning. All are welcome. 

Many thanks to the parents who put so much time and effort into

transforming our raised beds over the summer holidays. 

We look forward to planting some delicious fruits and

​vegetables in them in the coming spring.

We had great fun celebrating Maths Week in our school

This year we are again working towards achieving the Discover

Primary Science and Maths Award for our school. 

As part of the award we ran a science week in our school from

the 11th to the 18th of November.

A number of fun science experiments were completed in all

classrooms throughout the week. 

Junior Infants to 2nd class and 3rd to 6th class also took part in

science themed table quizzes. 

Below are a few photographs from the week, a more detailed

overview with more photographs  of work completed will be

​uploaded in our log of evidence of the Discover Primary Science

and Maths Award in the coming months. 

From the 24th to the 28th of September this year a special week,

'Friendship Week' was celebrated in our school. 


Lessons were delivered in each class on the theme of

friendship. 
​

Again a special emphasis was placed on being an 'Upstander' .

The term used in the school to encourage children to speak up if

​they become aware of someone being left our or being treated

unfairly, 
​

Throughout the week a variety of friendship themed activities

took place in all classrooms including circle time, art activities,

​paired reading between Junior and Senior classes, writing

of friendship poems and the creation of our whole school

friendship tree. 

In 1st and 2nd class, the children learned about the digestive

system . They found out about what happens to the food we eat

in our bodies. 

The class had great fun making 'poo' as they explored, in a

​hands on activity how coco pops are broken down in the body.

The end result was lots of mess and laughter as they were left

​ with 'poo'. 

​3rd to 6th Class experienced some hair raising fun with static

electricity, an interaction with a magic plasma ball and

​experience with building circuits. The children investigated how

 how simple circuits, series circuits and parallel circuits worked.
 

 Thank you once again to our wonderful Parents' Association for

 funding the workshops. A fantastic day was had by all. 

Below are some pictures from our Halloween dress up day on 

Friday the 26th of October 2018. 

As always the children put a great effort  into their costumes 

​and looked fantastic.
