Delighted to share a snapshot of  the wonderfully creative activities going on throughout the school to mark Creative  Schools Week. Such inspiring art and creativity shown here from Junior Infants to 2nd Class - amazing!
Well done everyone! 

We are settling  into our new school and making lots of new friends . We have been learning all about the shoe shop and playing in the role play area, with the small world toys, at the creative station and with the construction toys.

We  had a fantastic day out at Turoe Pet farm. We  saw lots of lovely animals, played in an indoor and outdoor playground and we bounced on the biggest bouncy castle you've ever seen!!  Here's some pictures from our happy time.

We were delighted to receive the 'Golden Boot' in Room 2 today. Walking to school is  great for  us and our environment. Join the walking bus  every Wednesday  if you can.

​

​Rooms 1 & 2 came together yesterday for some festive fun and to decorate Reindeer Buns. Delicious!

We've been so busy in Room 2 learning about owls and other nocturnal animals. We read the story  of 'Owl Babies' and made our own puppets . We had fun getting ready for Halloween and made some lovely witches. Look  at our amazing costumes! We're looking forward to a big rest. See you in November!

Look at how much we've grown! We've had a great first year in school and our fantastic Reading Buddies set up an outdoor challenge for us on Tuesday, June 20th. We had lots of fun looking and recording.

We had a great day out  today, Wednesday the 14th of June. We got the bus to Turoe pet farm where we got to play indoors, feed the animals,  play outdoors and go on the biggest bouncy slide you've ever seen!  We met lots of fantastic animals along our nature walk. Have a look at all our happy faces!

It is the season of summer and watching the beautiful butterflies fluttering by inspired us to learn more about them. We read about their life cycle and we read'The Very Hungry Caterpillar,' by Eric Carle. We found a ladybird in the yard one day so we looked at their life cycle in our Small World book and read 'The  Very Lazy Ladybird.' Look at our beautiful butterflies!

During our Health and Wellness week this year, we all enjoyed a day full of fun and sun!  We really liked moving around the different stations to try out new activities.

We were learning about capacity in maths. We discussed and measured which containers hold more and  which hold less  liquid. We also discussed the words full and empty.  We had to arrange the containers in order of which we thought holds the most down to which holds the least.  We had great fun  pouring water and  measuring during maths.

Today we held our annual show for Seachtain na Gaeilge.  Here are some pictures and videos of the children from junior infants, senior infants, 1st class, 2nd class and our school band performing songs, dramas, poems and dances. Some parents also came along to watch the performances. We all really enjoyed the show and we had fun learning lots of Irish along the way.
​ Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona Daoibh!

Last Friday (3rd March) our Senior Infant Classes had a visit from Canine Buddies.  The children learned all about how to behave around dogs and how best to  care for them.   Canine Buddies will be back to visit some of our other classes over the coming weeks.

Room 2 went to visit Room 1 to watch Ms. Newell make a St. Brigit's cross from rushes. We have it hanging in our room now. February 1st is St. Brigit's Day.
