We had a lovely morning in Richmond Library today. We did a scavenger hunt for books and had time to browse some new titles. We have the forms to join the library in school available to take home for your child to become a member. You can borrow books, DVDs and games for your Nintendo switch, X-Box and PlayStation when you’re a member!

Today Mr. Moriarty's 4th class performed their Christmas play 'The Case of the Missing Christmas Star'. They have been working so hard on it over the past few weeks; learning their lines, making props and costumes, and rehearsing. It was great to perform it in front of the other classes, parents, and family. A few pupils felt nervous but said working with their friends and taking a deep breath and reminding themselves to relax helped them get through it. Each and every one of them should be so proud of themselves!

4th Class had a great day out at Rock Climbing in Dublin Climbing Centre last week. It was amazing to see the children use their problem solving skills and overcome initial fears to challenge themselves!

4th Class have been learning all about the Famine over the last few weeks. We have learned about the blight, soup kitchens, workhouses and emigration. Mr Moriarty’s class made projects after doing some extra research. Today we went on a trip to the Jeanie Johnston replica famine ship in the city centre. We learned that 200 passengers made the dangerous voyage across the Atlantic on this ship. Conditions were very tough on board with 10 children sharing a bunk bed each and only 30 minutes up on deck permitted each day. It was fascinating to experience life on the tall ship.

4th Class have been learning to play Gaelic football for PE during September and October. We have focused on skills such as hand passing, kick passing and soloing the ball. Last week we went to Good Counsel GAA club and played an in-house fun blitz to help us prepare for future matches against other schools. We had great fun with lots of skills on show. Well done to the blue team who won our tournament.
