Card Games As Gaelige In 3rd Class!

Third class enjoyed playing games as Gaeilge last week. ‘Níos airde no Níos ísle (higher or lower) game. They had to turn over their card and predict if their partner’s card would be higher or lower. They have been learning lots of key phrases to use while playing the different games.
Craic!

Thank You Cards In 2nd Class!

2nd Class sent Christmas cards to people in the St Anne’s unit in Castlebar Hospital and they have each received thank you cards in response! They are so grateful to receive the cards and that their kind gesture was appreciated by people in need.

Online Safety!

Throwback Tuesday!

Before Christmas, our 2nd-6th classes had a talk from a parent of the school, speaking to us all about the importance of being safe online and how to treat others.

It was well received and we all learned something!

 

 

Christmas Carols On The Steps!

That’s a wrap!

We’re going to leave you with this gloriously festive post. 

4th 5th & 6th Class raised money for charity singing Christmas carols on Dawson Street and were joined by 2nd & 3rd Class for more carols on the school steps when they returned. It certainly got us into the festive spirit!

We hope you have a long and restful break and we look forward to welcoming you all back on Monday the 8th of January.

It’s Beginning To Look A lot Like Christmas In Senior Infants!

Senior infants are getting ready for Christmas! The class has been in a winter wonderland in Aistear, training huskies, designing snow globes, making playdough gingerbread men and writing very important lists!

Let it snow Senior Infants, let it snow!

 

3rd Class Get Innovative!

Third Class have been working really hard on their STEP UP projects. The class worked in groups to come up with ideas and prototypes to improve the community. They presented their innovative ideas in assembly, to other classes on the Science Showcase day and to an Engineer that visited the class. 

Well done third class for working so collaboratively and for putting together fantastic presentations!

JI Skittles Experiment!

Junior Infants loved doing some science experiments with skittles 🍬. 

The children predicted and recorded results. They learned to work as scientists and utilised the scientific method! 

There were a lot of amazed (and hungry) faces when the rainbow appeared!
