2nd Class celebrated space week by creating their own mini factbooks on each planet with coloured pictures of the solar system. They learnt about the first man on the moon, sang about stars in Irish, the planets in English and successfully launched a balloon rocket!
They have done almost everything besides travelling there themselves!
Lovely work 2nd Class!
3rd class were recently involved in the launch for this year’s MS Readathon. They were visited by Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl series, and a team from MS Readathon. You can read all about it here. Eoin read some of his books and answered lots of wonderful questions.

*WOW Day tomorrow 9th October*
Our Green School Committee had their first meeting last week to discuss and brainstorm all the ways they can encourage everyone to walk to school more often. They came up with a great incentive for WOW day! Children can wear their favourite shoes and “bling” them up if they walk to school on WOW day tomorrow 9th October 2024. We can’t wait to see all the amazing creations!
1st class has been having lots of fun reading a book called Grandad’s Island. They have completed some fantastic pieces of writing about the story and in Art used lots of different resources to make an animal they would see in Grandad’s island.
Senior Infants have been having lots of fun learning about “colour”. The class read a wonderful story called Mixed by Arree Chung which taught them about primary colours and what happens when colours are mixed.
Senior Infants used what they learned to experiment in a wonderful colourful art lesson.
Lovely work Senior Infants!
Our Universal Choir, made up of 2nd-4th Class, had the opportunity to practice outside in the gorgeous weather ahead of their performance last week.
