On 16th September, our pupils had the wonderful opportunity to visit Fighting Words, a creative writing organisation that provides free, fun and interactive writing workshops for young people.

During our visit, the pupils worked together to create a story, exploring important elements of storytelling such as characters, plot and setting. Working as a group, they shared their ideas and used their imaginations to develop a story with the support of experienced Fighting Words writing mentors.

The pupils then had the opportunity to write their own individual stories, receiving encouragement and support as they developed their ideas and brought their stories to life. The workshop helped our pupils to express their creativity, build confidence and discover the enjoyment of creative writing.

We are delighted that the pupils’ work has been published on the Fighting Words website for others to enjoy!

A huge thank you to the team at Fighting Words for making our visit such an enjoyable, creative and inspiring experience. We are very proud of all our young writers and their fantastic work!

Last night, eight students from 4th, 5th and 6th Class attended the Credit Union Table Quiz in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Blanchardstown making up two teams of four.
There were 52 teams taking part in the quiz. Our two wonderful teams finished 7th and 10th overall. They should be very proud of themselves for the hardwork they have put in. A massive thanks to Mr Delaney for all his hard work in organising the teams for the event!

5th Class have had a lot of fun being creative with clay this week. They made some great pieces and today they were using acrylic paints to add designs and colour to their work.

Today, the school welcomed Graham, a coach from Leinster Rugby, who began the first of four sessions of tag rugby with the children from 4th, 5th and 6th Class.

The sessions were fun and engaging and the children really enjoyed them.

A huge thanks to Graham and Leinster Rugby for this wonderful opportunity for the children to try out this sport.
