Gaelic football, working on our school garden, music classes, Irish dancing, swimming. We will continue our work with the Green Flag on the theme of Biodiversity and will  have guest speakers about this topic.

Comenius trip to Iceland

Múinteoir Cepta visited, Iceland in September with some of the sixth class and their parents. They had a wonderful experience and will have memories that will last forever. They visited the Skógafoss Waterfall, went whale watching and saw geysers but to mention a few.

There will be visits to Germany, Finland and Belgium in the future and we will look forward to learning about their countries and celebrating their cultures!

Our Visits

Sister Karol from Kylemore Abbey visited the School. The children did a Music workshop. They learned about the Pentatonic scale, keeping the beat and some other great songs.

Brendan Smith visited the Senior Classes. He is a facilitator of The Scratch Programme.  Scratch is a visual programming language that. The children participate in making interactive stories,  animations, games, music, and art and share these creations on the web.

Noreen Burke from the Aquarium visited the school. She brought with her, a variety of sea fossils and artefacts. Also David, a marine biologist visited  the school and brought sea creatures for the children to observe and examine. The creatures included crabs, crab shells, limpets and rainbow fish. The children interacted well with both visitors and enjoyed the experience immensely.

Michael Jacob, environmentalist visited the school. He taught the children about wildlife in their local environment. They children enjoyed going on the Bug Hunt with Mr. Jacob. They also enjoyed engaging with the stuffed animals!

Making the most of the September sunshine:

We planted tulips as part of the Comenius Project. We will monitor their growth over the coming months and compare the results with our other Comenius partner countries.

We also participated in the Crocus Project. We planted crocus bulbs in the shape of The Star of David. This is in memory of the children who died in the concentration camps.

Maths Week:

We celebrating Maths Week again this year with Maths for Fun, maths trails and many other activities. Parents came in to participate in the Maths for Fun Day with the children. The day was very enjoyable for all.
