Laura’s junior infants have had some very special guests in over the last 2 weeks. Two of our parents came in to read in Polish. They read Na Końcu Tęczy and Wiewiórki Które Nie Chciały Się Dzielićy. Some of the children in the class shared their knowledge of the language and helped us to learn lots of new words and phrases. Bardzo dziękuje! ... See MoreSee Less

Assembly pics today

Apologies for late post. We had 2 lovely Assemblies again today. Sinéad's & Sharon's classes entertained us all with their Siamsa. In the picture of the Students of the Week & Gaeilgeoiri na Seachtaine from Jun Assembly we also have 2 children from each class who did really well in their running this week. Some of them didn't want to stop running! We were in such a hurry to get out to the fantastic Olympic Handball final that we didn't get to call out the Students of the Week etc for Senior Assembly, but they were celebrated in class. Well done to all and have a great weekend.

Following on from our hugely successful basketball tournament last term, this term we enjoyed an Olympic Handball tournament which ran over the last month. Over 150 children from 3rd to 6th class took part. Today we had the highly anticipated final between Kerry and Kilkenny. It turned out to be a very competitive match, with Kerry just winning in the end! Well done to all involved! A big thank you to Laura for organising and to all the teachers for refereeing matches at lunch time. Our tournament for next term will be our soccer World Cup which everyone is already looking forward to. ... See MoreSee Less

A reminder that we have purchased books in many languages other than English for our library. Thanks to all the parents, children and staff who made suggestions. We tried to get as many of them as we could. Thanks also to the parents in the library for cataloguing them and to the PPLI for the grant scheme. #LanguagesConnect

World Book Day March 2nd

This year for World Book Day we are going to try something new. The whole school is going to read the same book during the month of March. We have chosen Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. This is a much loved book that can be read at many different levels. We have a class set of the book and each teacher will work with her/his class on the book at some point during March. We hope to create a display of all the different reactions to the book at the end. This is a lovely book to read with your children, with fantastic art in it. Every library will have a copy or you can listen to it on YouTube. Enjoy! #WorldBookDay .
