Senior Infants are learning about trains!
Over the past two weeks Senior Infants have been learning all about trains. As part of their role-play, the children pretended to check tickets and work at the lost and found desk. They worked in teams to construct railway tracks and learned many new words associated with trains. They listened to a story called ‘The Train Ride’, which was read by a real train driver! They asked the driver lots of excellent questions about her day. Furthermore, the children used their marvelous imaginations to draw what they might see from the window of a train. Well done Senior Infants!

Goodbye Art Week, Hello Poetry Week!
Hello everyone,
What a fantastic Art Week we’ve just had! We learned how to draw a toucan, a volcano, a panda, a Dachshund dog and a puffin. We drew self-portraits. Can you recognise your friends and classmates? We sketched what we saw from our windows and designed Viking shields. We revised warm and cool colours and studied the work of Andy Goldsworthy. Some students got inspired by their readers and constructed houses. For the art competition, we asked you to recreate some famous artwork. The winning entry is displayed at the end!
Below is a collection of the amazing work you uploaded! It was a pleasure looking at and compiling all your beautiful art work. Every student has a unique artistic style!
Here is our winner of the art competition! What a stunning recreation of ‘The Old Guitarist’ by Pablo Picasso. Well done to you!
Poetry Week begins today! We adore poetry in 3rd and 4th class. Ms O’Loughlin and Ms O’Leary have organised some wonderful resources which will be uploaded onto Seesaw. Have fun everybody!

Terrific 3rd and 4th Class
Hello everybody,
I hope you had a terrific Sports Week 2020! There were lots of active children this week! Well done to you! We created mascots to cheer us on. We designed school jerseys! We wrote entries into our Well-Being journals. I heard some impressive reading in both English and Irish. Maith síbh! I’m glad you enjoyed the guided dance videos! Well done for sticking with Joe even when it got tough! Thank you Ms Hyland and Ms Fahey for a brilliant Sports Week.
Art Week begins today! Mrs Condron, Ms Hanlon and Ms Fitzpatrick have organised some interesting activities for you to do. I’m looking forward to seeing all of your beautiful artwork. Please take photographs so that I can display them on the website. In the meantime, keep active and take care!
