Senior Infants had a fantastic outing to the natural history museum, aka the Dead Zoo. It was a great day of fun and learning. The class investigated animals and their habitats and explored the Wonder Cabinet and saw different predators and prey!
2nd and 3rd Class were introduced to table tennis in the classroom as the wet weather brought PE class indoors! Our handy little desk nets make this possible. The children enjoy it so much, a few have started table tennis outside school!
Whoever said wet days can’t be fun!
1st Class has been busy exploring Capacity in Maths.
The class used non standard units such as spoons and cups to measure the capacity of different containers.
They had great fun estimating first and then measuring how much water the various containers could hold!
Looks like lots of fun 1st Class!
5th Class visited the exhibition ‘Solidarity: The Dockers of Dublin Port’ last week. The class met the historian, Daryl, the historian on site, and Paddy, who worked on the docks for 48 years, shared many stories. It was a lovely piece of Dublin history that showed ordinary people doing hard physical work but also resilience and humour. It was a wonderful experience. They also loved the goodie bags!
Many thanks to The Little Museum of Dublin and Dublin Port Company.
Last week, 4th Class played ‘Guess Who’ as Gaeilge! It was a super way to get a handle on some irregular past tense verbs and have some fun at the same time!
An mhaith rang a ceathair!
Second Class has been learning all about the Chinese New Year and the representing animals. The children looked at traditional Chinese instruments and different traditions in the country.

Junior Infants are learning lots about the continent of Africa in Aistear. The children set up markets, played with African animals in small world, built some homes, created beautiful artwork and even went on their own safari to the Secret Garden.
It was a great adventure with lots of exploration and fun!
The Girls hockey team scored an easy three points with a walkover on Tuesday. The team would have much preferred to play the game. They continue their unbeaten streak going into their final fixture on Thursday Feb 22nd against Our Lady of Mercy.
All support welcome!
Senior infants continue to learn and explore house and homes in Aistear and are currently designing their own lighthouses.
They have also been learning about and playing with the number 8 and they took some time to draw 8 of their favourite things.
Gr8 work Senior Infants!
Last week, 5th & 6th class girls won their match against Guardian Angels National School making it two wins from two games! It was a super game and lots of experience was gained by the team. Final score was 4:1.
