3rd and 4th class present Fundraising cheque to Dublin Zoo

Posted on by

This year all of our pupils are visiting Dublin Zoo for our summer Trip. We are so lucky to have Dublin Zoo within walking distance of our school.

At Christmas we had our Panto and Popcorn day to raise funds to support Dublin Zoo, as they were having a very difficult time while the Zoo was closed due to Covid-19. We raised a superb €675. Miss O’Loughlin’s class were chosen to present the cheque to John, one of the wonderful zookeepers. It will be a great help to the zoo in feeding the many hungry animals there.

The classes are all really enjoying their trips to the zoo. Check out some of the pictures here from Miss O’Loughlin’s visit this week. They had a special treat watching the Red Pandas being weighed and fed.

The pupils from Ms Sweetman’s 5th and 6th class had a wonderful Sports Day this year. The event took place in the beautiful surroundings of the Law Society of Ireland grounds on Blackhall Place (a huge thank you to the staff for accommodating us).

There was soccer, tag rugby, handball, egg and spoon races, long distance running and sprints. The pupils had a brilliant day! Check out some of the photos below!
