Grandparents’ Day 

We just want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for a wonderful Grandparents’ Day on Wednesday. The whole day was filled with joy, happiness and lots of emotions. All the Grandparents and special guests had a lovely time visiting the classrooms and spending time chatting over a cup of tea or coffee and cake in our School Hall. We also remembered all the Grandparents / guests who could not be here today through our dedicated Sacred Space. To our amazing staff, míle buíochas. Your dedication and hard work meant the day was both meaningful and memorable. An enormous thank you also to our prefects who enjoyed using their clipboards, as they escorted visitors around the school. To our wonderful PTA and parent volunteers, your support and enthusiasm added a special touch to the day. Thank you for looking after the grandparents and guests so well. Umpteen cups of tea and coffee were made!! Finally, to our incredible pupils, thank you for your super displays, classroom work and most importantly your lovely warm smiles which brightened the day for all the Grandparents and guests.

4th Class: The Famine & European Countries

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.

Mr. Higgins’ class have been working on projects about a country in Europe of their choice. They began their projects on the chromebooks and worked on them for a number of weeks before orally presenting them to the rest of the class.

The Daily Mile!

I am in fourth class and my teacher is Mr.Allen. Every day we keep fit by doing the Daily Mile. Everyone loves it. We run 16 laps around the yard for our mile and some find it challenging while others find it easy. Mr.Allen times us and the best time in our class is 6m and 25seconds. A lot of people have improved and gotten a lot better over the course of the year. The aim of the exercise is to beat your best time. That is how it keeps us fit. Anyone who beats their best time gets a subject pass. Why don’t you try the Daily Mile?

Constructions in Mr. O’Donovan’s Fourth Class!

Mr. O’ Donovan’s 4th class have been really busy constructing bridges using newspaper, A4 paper, tinfoil, masking tape, paper plates and skewers. They used school books to measure how much each bridge could hold before it broke. Some held 60, while other’s held less. Everyone had lots of fun making the bridges. The most books that the bridges held was 60.

    

They also learned about the bridges of the world like, Beam bridges, truss bridges and suspension bridges. They found out the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was a suspension bridge. They also made smaller constructions using only un-cooked spaghetti and marshmallows! They had to see which one had the most stability and which one was the highest. It was fun but a little hard to make sure that the structure would not fall down.
