3rd Class had a busy week last week. The class took inspiration from the beautiful blossom tree in our yard to create their very own blossom trees in art.
They really enjoyed spotting them in the local area and on the way to the Secret Garden too! They also spent time planting sunflowers!
Last week, 5th Class had a fantastic time hosting students from Catalan, Spain for a cultural exchange.
The children shared the enchanting Irish tale of Tir na nÓg, sang beautiful Irish songs, and even taught some Irish phrases!
After lunch together, everyone headed to Herbert Park for an afternoon of fun sports.
Well done to the Green School Committee for working so hard all year in promoting sustainable travel! Together they created a presentation and presented it to the Green School Committee officer last week. She was extremely impressed by all the effort they put in. We look forward to seeing what you have planned for the rest of the year! Wonderful work!
Last Friday we had our annual Lá Glas, we all dressed up in Green and each class presented a poem or a song as Gaelige during our assembly.
An-mhaith!!
Last week, in a delightful showcase of talent and teamwork, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th classes participated in Córfhéile, where they sang three lovely songs under the guidance of their talented conductor. Performing in front of other schools, the students captivated the audience with their melodious voices and enthusiastic energy.
Their hard work and dedication shone through, earning them amazing feedback from attendees who were very impressed by their performance!
The girls soccer team played their opening round of the girls junior cup on Tuesday against Scoil Mhuire.
Unfortunately, they were just too strong for our girls and remained dominant throughout the game.
The girls will be focusing on their league campaign now with their next game this afternoon against Shellybanks ETNS.
Best of luck team!
Last week, our fourth class had an exciting field trip to the Museum of Literature and Culture. During their visit, the students participated in an engaging workshop centered around the remarkable works of James Joyce, particularly his renowned piece, Ulysses. The workshop provided a fascinating insight into Joyce’s literary contributions, sparking the students’ curiosity and creativity.
After the workshop, the class enjoyed a guided tour of the museum, where they explored various exhibits that highlighted the rich tapestry of literature and cultural history. The students left feeling inspired and eager to learn more about literature and its impact on culture. It was a memorable experience that combined education with fun!
Before the break, 2nd class got a chance to meet their Junior Infant buddies.
They introduced themselves and read Mr Men books to each other.
They talked, coloured, played games and even played a game of chess! This shows us living our value of ‘Unity’, by seeing ourselves in others and to taking care of one another.
Recently in our speech assembly students from 3rd and 4th class shared a ‘persuasive speech’ on the importance of wearing our uniform. We all agreed that we take pride in representing our school through our uniform and invite more students to participate in writing more persuasive texts on the topic!
Thank you 3rd & 4th Class!
