BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

There were huge celebrations this week with two big birthdays! Ms McLoughney wasn't as keen to celebrate as the children were but great fun was still had by all!
EASTER ACTIVITIES
21st March 2024
The Junior Room have been busy creating different crafts and art pieces for Easter. They looked at scratch art to draw Easter pictures, worked with threading to make Easter windchimes and also designed Easter Eggs for our Easter tree! Look at the great job they all did! We wish you all a very Happy Easter!
KAZOO THE CLOWN
19th March 2024
We were so lucky to have kazoo the clown in today from Circus Corvenieo. She spoke to the children about life in the circus and what they could expect if they were to go see them this weekend. Thanks so much for calling in Kazoo!
MOTHER'S DAY
10th March 2024
Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful mums!
INFLATABLE DICE
29th February 2024
Our junior room had great fun making up number sentences for each other using our new inflatable dice! Our infants took turns being the teacher and rolling the dice to give a sum to their 'students' before checking that they were correct! Our first class worked together to roll the dice and had to try and hit a target number! This was way more fun than Ms McLoughney putting sums on the board!
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION
22nd February 2024
Congratulations to our three second class pupils who celebrated their Sacrament of Reconciliation on Thursday night. We are extremely proud of them and all the hard work they put in preparing for the night!
Finger Lights
22nd February 2024
Our Senior Infants love reading and looking at pictures in their library books! Today they took their learning under the tables to use their finger lights! It was great to hear the excitement of the children sharing and discussing funny pictures, finding their sounds of the week and even reading with each other.
MAGNETS
9th February 2024
Here in the junior room we have been busy working with magnets! We had to try and find out which objects were attracted to the magnets and which ones repelled the magnets. We found that anything made from wood or plastic was not magnetic but things that were made from steel or iron for example were! We also had great fun moving objects using our magnets.
TAG RUGBY
7th February 2024
Tag rugby has started back this term for the next 5weeks! The children are really enjoying developing their new skills! A huge thank you to Laura from Leinster Rugby who is facilitating this for us!
CARD GAMES
24th January 2024
Todays maths lesson involved the use of a deck of giant cards! We played a game of higher and lower where the children had to use their number knowledge to guess whether the next number would be higher or lower than the previous number! We used the cards to make number sentences and our first and second classes then used the cards to work on their tens and units. Our infants focused on sorting the cards by colour, by number, by suit etc, before ordering their cards from high to low and low to high! The older children were a great help to them too! We finished off our lesson with a game of 'Go Fish'!
PE - SOCCER SKILLS
11th January 2024
