Huge thanks to Sam, Martha’s dad, who popped into 3rd Class for a visit today to talk about the land of his birth Australia, which the children have been learning about.
They got to dress up as the legendary Ned Kelly, taste Vegemite and hear stories of Kangaroo crashes, Geelong AFL, snakes and much much more. They got to bring the AFL football out to GAA too!
Thank you Sam!
The children in 3rd Class have been busy making powerpoint presentations and poster projects on Australia in geography. Check out some of the projects below.

Today, 3rd class and a number of other classes paid a visit to Technological University Dublin as part of Space Week. They took part in a workshop with the Armagh Planetarium, learning all about our solar system, planets, stars and much much more. In addition, the class tuned into the ARISS radio link between pupils from various primary schools and Japansese astronaut Takaya Ornishi on board the International Space Station.
A big thank you to Ana and all in TU Dublin Access & Outreach. It was a wonderful experience!
Today, 3rd Class paid a visit to our school library to use their new school library cards. A huge thank you to Ms Delaney and the parents who helped for the hard work they did in setting up the system. Now all parents can see the books their children have out on loan in their Aladdin Connect app.
The rain held off and the children in 3rd Class had a wonderful day out in Blackhall Place for our Sports Day 2025. They enjoyed sprint races, sack races, tug of war, yoga, football and much more! Check out some photos below.
