Thanks to the PTA for arranging Mark (https://www.markthescienceguy.com/) to do 2 sessions with our children on Wednesday – the children really enjoyed the sessions!
6th Classes had a successful visit to the Mansion house on Wednesday. During the visit, the children learned about the History of the Mansion House and its role as the residence of Dublin’s Lord Mayors. The visit finished with a tour of the house and they learned about the historic meeting of Ireland’s first parliament in the Round Room in 1919.
The children in Ms. Elmes’ class have been learning about The Great Famine this month, the causes of the Famine, during the famine and after the famine. They read a lot about it and wrote poems about it in pairs.
Junior Infants have been really active recently between Ball Skills with coach Steve and dance with Ms Casey. They have practiced many ball skills with coach Steve to get them ready to play Gaelic football. They also recently got a chance to try some hurling. This was very exciting as they got to put on helmets and use hurls.
