Hello everyone. 
It's been a very busy few weeks around the school. 
The children are all working hard and most importantly they are having fun while doing so. 
The teachers have been learning all about the new curriculum and play forms a big part of it. 

We have had Boxing coaches in on Tuesday's and Thursdays, Deirdre is continuing her amazing work with Creativity in the classroom,  Leinster rugby were in teaching children the basics, St Pats were in for soccer. It's all go. There are too many activities going on to mention. 

1st class were exploring waterproof materials and making their own umbrellas to keep giraffey dry in the rainy weather

Microsoft Dreamspace came in to do some coding for Engineers week in 4th Class. Past pupil Isaac and another software engineer Adri came to our class. It is so amazing to see our wonderful past pupils come in with their chosen career. 💻

We had Literacy week in February where we had opportunity to listen to an amazing storyteller Seosamh O Maolalaí. We promoted reading for pleasure as much as possible and it was a great success. 
Our Biscuits and books lunchtime club made use of the wet lunchtimes to read in our school library. 📚

Our Student Council had many meetings where the students came up with ideas to better our school. They are fundraising for a new climbing wall for our yard at the moment 👏🏻


Ms Turners class visited the national gallery. They had been learning about Strongbow& Aoife so they visited the painting in the gallery. They got to sketch their own version afterwards 👩🏻‍🎨

Ms Power's class have been learning about 3d shapes at the moment. She has been doing junk art with her class. This is a fantastic way to explore shape and it's covers maths skills, fine motor skills, creativity and play. Some made army tanks,ships, houses,cranes etc. 👏🏻

Sixth Class have been very busy and active over the past few weeks! The students have been enjoying a range of literacy games in the hall, where they worked together to build their reading, spelling and vocabulary skills in a fun and engaging way. It has been wonderful to see the pupils learning while also enjoying a bit of friendly competition. They also helped the junior classes play games,demonstrating great responsibility.
