We celebrated our school’s birthday last week with our annual school picnic. As is tradition, 6th class ran all the activities and did a fantastic job. All the classes enjoyed themselves and all the fun organised by 6th class.
Thank you 6th Class!
One of our wellbeing goals this year is to develop a more structured buddy system across the school. 2nd class and Junior Infants took their first buddy steps together this week.
2nd class prepared a PE lesson for Junior Infants, with 5 different stations.
Both classes did an amazing job and worked so well together.
Well done 2nd Class and Junior Infants!
It’s that time of year again!
Our bookworms in 3rd Class are setting the scene for this year’s Multiple Sclerosis Ireland Readathon at the national print museum.
The class featured on RTE News2Day last week.
Watch them in action here!
Last Wednesday, 4th Class walked to the National Museum of Ireland and enjoyed a Viking tour. The class saw a real skeleton, learned about the Vikings’ lives and looked at the artefacts they left behind. It was interesting and engaging! A pit stop was made at Merrion Square Park Playground for some lunch and play, followed by a visit to the National Gallery of Ireland to take a sketching tour. The class learned about the elements of art and experimented with line, shading, tone and even the balance of movement in art. The class finished the day with some emergency ice creams to make sure they had enough energy to make it back to school.
All in all – a great day out with a great group of children!
Are you enjoying the glorious weather as much as our 5th Class? Last week they reviewed vocabulary from An Teilifís amuigh faoin ngrian (out in the sunshine), followed by an enjoyable day out at Clanna Gael for a Blitz!

To celebrate World Bee Day, 2nd Class had a buzzing time at the bee workshop at the Slovenian Embassy last Monday. They tasted some delicious honey from Slovenia, saw a virtual 3D video of bee keepers at work and also tried on some beekeeper suits.
They finished off with a lovely picnic in Merrion Square!
Thanks to the Slovenian embassy for hosting our buzzing 2nd Class!
Well done to all students, parents and staff who participated in National Bike week last week. Each class has been keeping a tally of cyclists and results will be shared later this week. The bike parking area never looked so full! It’s great to see everyone engaging in active transport!
1st Class have been learning about magnets!
They started by making predictions about which materials magnets would be attracted to and then conducted their own experiments to confirm or deny their predictions.
How catching 1st class!
