Last week our Junior Infants class were learning about penguins. The class found out lots of interesting facts, read books about penguins and made some penguin art
Lovely work!!
5th Class achieved a lot earlier this month. They participated in a handball tournament and showed great support and participation.
They have been exploring length in maths and making their own meter sticks, and, most importantly, they have been busy rehearsing for their Christmas Performance. Looking forward to it 5th Class!
Last week the school focused on practising mindfulness in different ways and showing gratitude. 2nd class read a variety of stories about showing gratitude and being mindful. They wrote positive affirmations about themselves and designed hearts which showcased pictures of themselves showing gratitude and many more fun activities around the theme. Lovely work 2nd Class!
Halloween throwback!
Just a snip it of the amazing Halloween costumes some of 3rd Class wore on our dress up day!
Everyone enjoyed a fun-filled day of Halloween art, games, and plenty of fun.
A perfectly spooktacular day!

Last week the school finished a two week skipping challenge. Each class skipped together to climb the heights of Europe’s highest peaks. We did a lot of jumping as part of the Athletics strand in PE. The children improved their cardiovascular health as well as their personal best score each day. Well done everyone!

Recently, 6th Class completed projects on ‘Outstanding Animals’. Each person chose their animal, carried out research and then presented their ‘Outstanding Animal’ to the class. The class learned about pigs, service macaws, space dogs and everything in between.
Lovely work 6th Class!
3rd Class have been writing to inform, exploring their “I wonder…” questions about the world. Using iPads for research, the class created their own encyclopedia entries filled with fascinating facts. Together, these entries will make up our very own 3rd Class Encyclopedia!
Lovely work 3rd Class!
