May birthday celebrations:

Children in 5th and 6th showing their artistic side while working on an array of summer themed clay pieces.

What’s the best way to learn about Length in Maths? Get outside and start measuring! 2nd, 3rd and 4th figured out their height, foot length, arm span etc. in Maths today.  They loved comparing different measurements with each other.

2nd, 3rd and 4th made the best of the bright, sunny morning and took their English lesson outside. They are really enjoying their new novel “Confessions of an Imaginary Friend”.  Hopefully we’ll have many days to enjoy outdoor learning.

This week pupils in our junior room have been learning about sounds in the kitchen and also the properties of heat!

What better way to discover these than by listening to real kitchen sounds and making toast in our Covid-compliant restaurant.  All the children rated it a 5-star experience!

Pupils in 5th and 6th recounted the events of Gortaglanna on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy .

To mark the month of Our Lady, Mary,  5th and 6th class visited the beautiful grotto near our school.

Our 5th and 6th class girls displayed great teamwork during their STEM workshop. We predict some future engineers from this group!

2nd 3rd and 4th class learned the important life skill of sewing. They were so enthusiastic and produced lovely pieces.

Junior room set their rock bugs free after learning all about minibeasts. Making the most of the sunshine they practised fundamental movements in PE, mimed their feelings in Drama and enjoyed lunch outdoors.

Great fun was had by all taking part in the Cumann na mBunscol virtual run this morning. Children from 2nd to 6th Class took part. Our daily mile run surely paid off!

2nd, 3rd and 4th  had lunch al fresco on a sunny day!
