For Science week we engaged in different experiments. The first one was to create a bridge that wouldn't collapse holding a copy book and the second one was making a parachute for an egg. The excitement in the classroom while participating in these experiments was electric!
We have Been very fortunate to be one of 7 schools to receive ‘Free to be me’ Little Library of approximately 100 books.
Children’s Books Ireland aim to build a love of reading. The ‘Free to be me’ project enables our students see themselves reflected in a book, as well as learning about the lives of others, who’s experiences and perspectives might be different from their own. Here is just a sample of the books. The little library is on display on corridor 3. Each child in our school will also receive a book of their own to take home before Christmas.
Alongside this, the class were also learning about Thanksgiving and filled out their gratitude cups including everything that they are grateful for.
In history we are learning about Rosa Parks and some great discussions took place around segregation in America.
Lastly, we are busy practicing our songs for our Christmas concert which takes place in the church on the 17th of December.
Our students of the week are as follows:
Senior Infants : Ryder and Lily
1st class : Calvin and Adeline

Our sixth-class students are stepping up to get everyone moving with exciting activity breaks! Each day at 10 a.m., they lead us in a range of fun exercises aimed at keeping all classes active and engaged. Let the fun begin!
I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news—our school has officially joined the Active Flag initiative this year! The Active School Flag is an exciting program that aims to encourage physical activity and promote wellbeing for all of our students. Throughout the year, I will keep you updated on our journey to earn this prestigious flag. Let’s do this together!
The 6th class has kicked off the new year in the most amazing way! They've already enjoyed two exciting trips. First, they visited a writing workshop where they each created a fantastic story! Then, they took an incredible trip to Kilmainham Gaol. The students had the chance to dive into the fascinating history of the jail, learned all about it in class, and uncovered so many interesting stories about this remarkable place.
We have had another great month and are making great strides at being ag caint as Gaeilge. Since we didn't have assembly this week I will put the pictures of our Gaeilgeoirí na míosa and also some videos of comhrá agus rannta.
We have also been very busy this week as it's maths week and we are learning all about 3D shapes. We made some shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.
Finally, after working very hard all week, our Clever Clogs table won table of the week and were delighted with their certificates.
