We are incredibly grateful for her kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness and support.
She has always been so proud of the children in OLOL and told them so often.
Today the children had a special thanksgiving assembly for Ms. Hanly.
They sang songs, read poems and presented her with cards and a lovely memory book.
Just like our 6th class yesterday, what might seem like the end of something, is actually the start of something new.
We wish Ms. Hanly the very best of luck for the next chapter.
Go n-éiri an bóthar leat.
We watched a slideshow of pictures which shows just how far they have come since junior infants. We wish them all the very best for the next chapter.
Ms. O’ Donnell’s class went to Corcagh park in Clondlkin on their school trip. Roz, Lyndsey and Ms. O’ Donnell brough us on the bus and Garda Paul drove.
When we arrived, we walked through the park to the amazing playground. My favorite things were the big slides, the zip line and I also enjoyed the sand and the swings.
Next, we had lunch. We were all starving and it was delicious. We then went for a walk around the park. We were all tired so we stopped and had a few treats. My favorite was the mini donuts.
After the little rest, we returned to the playground and had another half an hour of play.
Finally, we went back to the car park to find the guard and the bus and we returned to school. We all had a great day and we agreed that we loved Corcagh park.

The children even got to see their film in the cinema.
We were very lucky that Mr Moriarty entered a competition to win a gymnastics teacher to come into our school for a day recently.
Our children thoroughly enjoyed the activities as you can see from the photos below
We enjoyed a trip to our local park, a visit to the local shops to buy groceries to make a treat of jelly and ice cream and lots of other learning outdoors.
Have a lovely Easter break all. 😊

We had a lovely final session of creativity in junior infants. Some parents joined us for this session and worked with the children to create some lovely clay structures. The session was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
We will have a little concert on Lá Glás.
We have a wonderful display of Art around our school at the moment. Our pupils are so talented.
Our 6th class are very lucky to be part of the Bookmarks Programme which is a collaboration between Trinity Access, the Library of Trinity College, and the School of English in Trinity College. The programme sees primary school children from their partner primary schools in Dublin write and illustrate their own books over a period of two months. This is facilitated through the support and guidance of authors, artists and children's literature specialists. The programme culminates with the publication of these books in an exhibition in the Old Library of Trinity College. The project aims to inspire children to become the next generation of storytellers and artists - in short, to tell their own stories and imagine the future.
Look at some of the lovely clay creations from the final session.
We have a new library team in OLOL. This is a very important group in our school. We are one of the luckiest schools in Dublin to still have a school library. It is incredibly well stocked with books, fiction and non fiction.
As it is used so much we need a group to keep it organised.
Some of our classes visited the library, others read and wrote a lot of their own poetry. We had assembly celebrating our children's learning and there were some lovely performances.
Pupils from 5th Class are making a monster movie with Helen. Their film is inspired by genre films like Godzilla. The film includes props, costumes and different puppets made by the pupils with help from Helen and Tony the school caretaker. The story is about littering and the dangers of children drinking energy drinks.
Junior infants had an amazing first session of Creativity in the classroom with artist Liz.
The children explored the charactistics of clay and developed their understanding of textures by using various objects to make marks and patterns in their piece of clay.
3D shapes were also explore as the children learnt different skills to use in order to mould their clay into various shapes.
What a wonderful start to their Creativity in the classroom sessions and looking forward to the next few weeks.
All our pupils represented the school exceptionally well and our team with Lara, Ahmed, Zainab and Conor were victorious. 🎉 It has been a long time since we had a winning team.
We are incredibly proud of them all.
We are learning all about Antarctica in 1st Class this January. So far we have learned many facts about where Antarctica is located and about emperor penguins. Here are some photos and videos of our art, the class practicing their emperor penguin huddle and their emperor penguin waddle, and the class doing the funky penguin dance.
Pupils from the I.C.B committee worked with Helen and Radio Maker Frank Phelan to plan and record two new radio shows for their new programme "Inchicore Eco-Squad" which is about all about the environment in Inchicore.
Pupils from Our Lady of Lourdes met Niamh from Bat Conservation Ireland to learn about Bats in the area, and they met with ecologist Dean to find out about wildlife and what an ecologist does.
You can listen to all the episodes of Inchicore Eco-Squad Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6hv2A9w0g&list=PLTpvFYMdX0Y0oTThbS0EPVJNl2R-ZIMtP&ab_channel=InchicoreChildrensBroadcasting

Our yard has been a hive of activity for the last few days. Some children from 4th, 5th and 6th have started to make use of the natural materials around our yard to make dens. There has been some amazing teamwork as they problem solve their way through the construction.
The winner of our annual Christmas doors competition took place today.
Ms. Dennehys 4th class claimed the prize winning a trip to the cinema. Our independent adjudicator was from Brock Delappe estate agents. Well done to all of the classes. Everyone put such hard work into it.
It really adds to the festive atmosphere around our school.
We also created some Notan artwork. It is a Japanese paper cutting technique which focuses on light and dark. They are extremely effective! We used contrasting colours to make them stand out even more.
Our Christmas Fair promises to be a fantastic event filled with delicious food, live music, and fun activities for the whole family. By sharing our event, you'll not only support our local community but also help make this event even more special.
Liz is in every Tuesday to do creativity in the classroom with 3rd class. We have been working with clay for the last three weeks.
We had a lovely assembly where each class presented an experiment or informed us of something they had learned during the week. Thank you to Mr Weir and Ms. Higgins for their organisation of the week.
As always Tony has outdone himself with our Halloween display. The children are so excited preparing for all the Halloween festivities.
Our Halloween walk and raffle takes place on Friday 27th. 🎃🦇👻🧙🏻🧛🧛♀️
We had lots of fun and watched Lilo ad Stitch with some treats!
We had a lovely trip to the Botanic Gardens on Tuesday with Liz from Creativity in the Classroom. We saw some of the wonderful sculptures that were on display! We even made some friends along the way!
We have also started to make some spooky Halloween art! We were inspired by Sugar Skulls.
Take a look below to see what we’ve been up to!
We often have our infants classes visit our library and we look forward to many more visits this school year.
We always encourage our children to join the library. It is such a wonderful resource in our community and it is free :)
We had great fun learning and performing “An Haka Gaelach” during Gaeilge.
For Geography, we were put into small groups and randomly selected one of the 20 countries participating in the World Cup! On Friday, we then presented our projects on the countries.
We mixed our eye colours with our favourite colours and found our own personal colour.
They are hanging up in the classroom for everyone to see!
