Busy Week in 2nd Class
This week we’ve been very busy in 2nd Class. We had a wonderful tour of Collins Barracks with a brilliant guide Clare. She showed us about the history of Gaelic Games as well as lots of other interesting historical facts!
We also went on a field trip to see what biodiversity we could find in Grangegorman park. We couldn’t resist a trip to the playground too of course!
In Maths, we have been continuing to learn about measurement and exploring mass and capacity with fruit, vegetables and water. Lots of fun!
Teddy Bear’s Picnic 2025
Today, our Junior Infants had a wonderful time at their Teddy Bear’s Picnic! Despite the weather, the teddies were cuddly and the smiles were endless. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special, especially our fantastic 5th Class helpers whose kindness and enthusiasm made the event a big success!
2nd and 3rd Class school tour to Fort Lucan – so much fun!
Congratulations to our 4th Class on their Stellar Victory at TUD Space Fest!
We are beyond proud to announce that our talented 4th Class pupils have won the prestigious TUD Space Fest Art Competition! Their incredible lunar base design showcased not only their creativity but also their impressive teamwork and problem-solving skills.
Every pupil played a vital role in both the design and construction of the lunar base, applying the artistic and scientific skills they’ve developed in class. Through careful planning, imaginative thinking, and hands-on collaboration, they brought their vision of a futuristic moon habitat to life.
Adding to the excitement, the class is now eagerly looking forward to exploring their well-earned prize—a class set of Sphero indi Robots, valued at €2,000! These programmable robots will offer them an exciting hands-on experience in coding and robotics.
Winning this competition is a testament to their dedication and enthusiasm, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate their achievement. Well done to all involved—your passion for learning has truly reached for the stars!
