Dear parents, carers, staff and friends,
A big thank you to the many, many families who joined us for our Science Fair yesterday. It was fantastic to see so many parents and carers coming to see the children’s learning.
We were all impressed with the variety of experiments and learning taking place all through the school. It was wonderful to hear the children speaking so confidently about their learning and explaining so clearly what they were working on. Well done everyone!
Thank you to all of our staff who worked so hard to prepare for the event. We can’t wait for next year!
News this week
On Monday, our older classes visited the Lighthouse Cinema as part of the Dublin International Film Festival. 5th and 6th met the famous children’s author Jacqueline Wilson before seeing the 1952 film ‘Mandy’. 3rd Class saw a Spanish film called ‘Zip and Zap and the Captain’s Island’ while 4th Class saw ‘Kai’. Our reviewers report that all three films were fantastic!
