Third class has been learning about the geography and history of Egypt. In art, the class used the medium of photography and acrylic paint to turn themselves into pharaohs. They utilised their excellent research skills to learn about Egyptian art and hieroglyphics so that they could write their names too.
Lovely work 3rd Class!

2nd class have unleashed their creativity and created beautiful Spring blossom trees. They practiced mixing colours together first to create depth to their trees, then used cotton buds to create the leaves. They carefully chose a background colour using water paints to compliment their picture. 🌼🌼🌼🌼
Lovely work 2nd Class!
The Junior Assembly had a fantastic speech week last week. The classes did vocal warm ups, learning simple tongue twisters and Shakespearean poems.
Junior Infants performed a poem entitled African Animals, Senior Infants, The Continents song; 1st Class Red performed Winter by William Shakespeare and 1st Class Yellow, Aim high for the sky by James McDonald.
The children spoke beautifully and confidently! Well done everyone!
Last week as 4th class gave 5th class a tour of the National Gallery they all dropped everything to pause. The atrium, a bright open space, provided a perfect still and calm place to incorporate their daily practice of mindfulness.
The girls hockey team has been busy battling it out on the pitch, with a defeat from Rathfarnham parish last week but hopeful for their match against Sancta Maria College.
Best of luck team!
2nd class created amazing habitats using recycled materials. They also created a non-fiction poster on the animal that would live in their habitat. They have been doing lots of research and will be presenting their reports to other classes.
Well done second class!
