What an incredible week of football for our school! Both the boys' and girls' teams competed in their blitz tournaments, showing amazing teamwork, determination, and skill.

We are so proud to share that both teams made it through the group stages and into the finals, playing their hearts out and doing absolutely fantastic! 🎉

Their hard work, sportsmanship, and team spirit were on full display, and every player should feel really proud of how well they did. They represented the school brilliantly and gave it their all right to the very end.

And this is just the beginning — more competitions are coming up in a few weeks, and we can't wait to see these amazing teams back in action!

Well done, everyone! 👏⚽

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new school walkway, a space designed to promote health, well-being, and an appreciation for staying active.

To kick things off, our amazing 6th class students took the lead by guiding each class around the walkway. They shared fun and inspiring facts about marathons — from the history of the race to the dedication it takes to complete one. Their enthusiasm and knowledge helped everyone understand the importance of setting goals and enjoying physical activity.

This walkway will be a wonderful addition to our school, encouraging students to move, chat, and learn in a refreshing outdoor environment. A huge thank you to 6th class for their leadership and to everyone who made this project possible.

Let’s get walking!

Seachtain na Gaeilge takes place next week. 
We will celebrate our Irish culture by speaking our native language, explore Irish music and songs. Some classes will practice Irish dancing and we will have lots of craic agus Spraoi on Lá Glas. We will have our annual ceolchoirm on Friday where the children will all perform a song or poem they have learned. 
Parents are welcome to come to the junior assembly on Friday where we will have some space set out for you. We can't do at senior assembly unfortunately but videos of performances will be up online.
There is a page on this website for Gaeilge and there are video and audio clips of some basic Irish phrases that you could learn and show your child that you can learn Gaeilge too ☘️🇮🇪

We had a lovely assembly on Friday celebrating the Art of storytelling. Our classes were learning myth/legends from Irish,Greek and Norse mythology. The children showed us the different ways to tell a story and it was great to see such variety in the performances. 

Senior infants were absolutely delighted to be announced as winners of the Christmas Door Competition in December. The class won a day to trip out to Spraoi in January and thoroughly enjoyed their visit! The pictures below capture all the fun and excitement of the day!

A Great Start to 2025 in Our Class!

We’ve had an amazing start to the new year in Ms. Turner’s 3rd Class! Here are some of the highlights of what we’ve been doing so far:

• Learning to Embroider: We had so much fun learning how to embroider with hessian and wool. It was tricky at first, but we all got the hang of it and created some really cool designs.

• Mini Water Cycles: In SESE, we made mini water cycles in a bag. It was so interesting to see how water evaporates, condenses, and falls as precipitation—all inside a plastic bag on our classroom windows!

• Our Trip to Richmond Barracks: We went on a trip with Mr. Gallagher’s class to Richmond Barracks. The exhibition we saw was called “The Archive Within Us”. It was all about history, stories, and how archives help us remember the past. We learned so much and asked loads of questions!

We’re excited to see what the rest of 2025 will bring and can’t wait to share more of our adventures with you soon!
