Curious Minds Awards and Filming
We welcomed the team from the Curious Minds awards to school last month. They worked with Senior Infants and 3rd Class on two experiments, which were shared with schools around Ireland who are working on STEM projects. We were really proud to be awarded another Gold Award for our learning about STEM this year.
Pride Flag Raising
We had a special flag-raising ceremony to celebrate Pride Month. Nadine, Chair of our Student Council, reminded us of the importance of respecting everyone in our community, 3rd Class shared their rap for the Different Families, Same Love competition and we sang ‘One Little Voice’. The Diversity and Inclusion Team raised the flag for us.
Virtual Art Exhibition
We have been working hard at Visual Arts this year and this beautiful virtual exhibition showcases all of the lovely learning from across the school.
National Children’s Choir
All of our 5th and 6th Class children took part in the National Children’s Choir this year. The children learned a wide range of repertoire from different music genres and in different languages. It was a big challenge and we were so proud of them when they sang with a beautiful orchestra and other children around Dublin in the National Basketball Arena in April. Four lucky children were then selected to sing at the national concerts with children from across Ireland in the National Concert Hall. A beautiful event with stunning singing – what a fabulous opportunity. ]
Our World Awards
Our Diversity and Inclusion Team presented certificates to 3rd, 4th and 5th Class for their participation in the Our World Awards 2025. Congratulations to all of the classes involved for their fantastic learning.
STEM Showcase
We held our annual STEM Showcase this week to celebrate and share all of the learning that has taken place across the school in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths this year. So many parents/carers joined us for the afternoon and everyone had lots of fun.
Global Citizenship Schools – One Minute Video
We created a one-minute video for Global Citizenship Schools to highlight all of the learning taking place across our school in relation to Global Citizenship. Check it out!
Seachtain na Gaeilge
Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge á cheiliúradh againn an tseachtain seo chaite. I rith na seachtaine, bhí na páistí ag foghlaim Gaeilge, ag canadh amhráin Ghaeilge agus ag damhsa le chéile. Ar an Aoine, bhí céilí mór agus ceol againn sa halla. Míle buíochas le Seán agus Michelle as an gceol álainn, le Claire as an rince iontach agus le Ali as an seachtain a phleanáil.
We celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge this week. Throughout the week, the children were learning Irish, singing Irish songs and dancing together. On Friday, we had a big céilí and music in the hall. Thank you very much to Seán and Michelle for the beautiful music, to Claire for the great dancing and to Ali for planning the week.
World Book Day 2025
What a great World Book Day we had! The children had lots of opportunities to choose the books they like to read and lots of time to read them. We had book cafés, sharing stories from home, curling up in cosy spaces, making bookmarks and writing book reviews, visiting our favourite book shop, Chapters on Parnell Street with our vouchers – so much fun and so much reading!
Thank you to Derek who coordinated and to our class teachers to provide the children so many opportunities to read every day.
Science Blast 2025
We are very proud of the five classes who presented their projects at Science Blast in the RDS this week. The children came up with some brilliant questions to investigate and the judges were very impressed with the confidence they showed explaining their results.
Huge thanks, as always, to our brilliant class teachers – James, Shauna, Andy, Greg and Ali who prepared the children so well and to all the team who supported the children on the day.
