5th & 6th Class Perform in the National Children’s Choir!

If you were one of those lucky enough to be in attendance at the National Children’s Choir at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght on Wednesday night last week, then you were treated to an outstanding performance!

The children performed 12 songs over the course of the evening. It was clear to all there how much hard work and practice had gone into preparing for such a performance. 

A big  thank you to both Ms. Russell and Ms. O’Donnell for the huge amount of time and effort they have put into preparing the children and organising the logistics for this event. Also thank you to Ms. Skelton and Mrs. Wynne for supporting this endeavour. 

It was a truly fantastic performance. Well done 5th & 6th Class!

 

Making Masks In 2nd Class!

Last week 2nd Class created beautiful vibrant masks which were all unique and different. The class first designed and planned their masks, then painted their masks very carefully and finally added a variety of resources.

We love their creativity!

Well done 2nd Class!

Lá Glas agus Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!

We would like to wish all our children, families, teachers and team a very Happy St Patrick’s Day.

Yesterday was a day full of green – celebrating our Lá glas and the end of our Seachtain na Gaeilge. We had a storyteller telling us stories both in English and as Gaeilge. We heard about many Irish myths from Fionn, Bran, Oisin and all the way to Tír na nÓg. The weather was beautiful, so we managed to have a concert outside. Each class shared a piece they had learnt for Lá Glas!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh!

 

 

It’s A Win!

Congratulations to the girls hockey team who won their match against Mount Anville Primary School 1:0! It was a hard fought victory against a very strong team. Thanks to Mount Anville Primary School for the challenge. 

Our World Book Day Visitor!

We had the pleasure of hosting Alma Jordan, author of One Stormy Night and Blue The Brave last week. She came to visit us as part of our World Book Day events and read an extract from her newly released books. She also spoke to us about safety on the farm. It was very engaging and enjoyable. Thank you Alma!

3rd Class Become Egyptian Pharaohs!

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!

Active School Flag!

Spring Has Sprung In 2nd 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!
