We had a very busy week during science week! We had talks, experiments and many discussions.
A huge thank you to Betul, who spent a wonderful morning in the school meeting all the different classes and talking to everyone about all things cell related. Some of the children really gave her a run for her money with some excellent questions and observations. Definitely some scientists in the making.
Thank you to the Science team for planning and arranging such a great week!
Our bookworms in 4th Class Red kick-started the Readathon challenge with the dream big books last week. They figured out what character traits these famous characters had in common.
Happy reading 4th Class!
5th/6th boys played a friendly Gaelic football match against our neighbours, St Christopher’s. It was a great game from start to finish. We started strong and were in the lead going into half time. However, the opposition came out fast and strong in the second half and got the job done. Final score St Christopher’s 2:9 JS 0:7.
Well done to the boys and thanks to St. Christopher’s team for the challenge!
3rd Class produced beautiful Trees of Life as part of Gratitude and Wellbeing Week. Each part of three represents different parts of themselves.

Trunk: skills and characteristics
Rain drops: challenges
Branches: hopes and dreams

What a lovely exercise!
Thank you 3rd Class.

3rd class enjoyed the outdoors during the week and went on an Autumn walk to collect leaves. They thought carefully about the shapes of leaves they wanted to collect and used them to create an Autumn themed picture. 🍂
Lovely work 3rd Class! 🍂
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!
