Good Friends Week

Posted on September 4, 2017 by sleonard

4^{th –}8^th September 2017

Our special focus this year is to ‘Be Generous’. We hope to honour the life of our wonderful school gardener, Séamus Stone, who recently passed away. His generosity knew no bounds and has enriched the lives of our school community.

Each class will work hard this week to be generous with their time, their talents and their treasures, especially sharing our smiles and our kind words!

We will draw up our class charters with guidelines that we feel are important to help each classroom to be happy, safe, welcoming and productive places to be this year.

Ms. Fahey’s 5^th and 6^th class will display their generosity by becoming Playground Buddies to our new Junior Infant Class. What fantastic role models they are!

Wonderful World of Shape

Mr Smyth’s 4th/5th Class have been examining the properties of 3-D shape. Check out some of the shapes they have tried to recreate using printable nets which they cut out and glued. Here is a fun 3-D shape game you can play at home: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/maths/shape_space/3d_shapes/play/

Switch on STEM in DIT

Posted on June 14, 2017 by mfahey

The pupils of 5th and 6th Class attended a Switch on STEM workshop in DIT Grangegorman recently. Switch on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths) provides hands on workshops and resources for primary and secondary school pupils and teachers. The pupils really enjoyed the different activities and experiments that ranged from making slime, using forensic science to investigate a crime scene and investigating our sense of smell to name just a few. It was a fantastic workshop and definitely inspired a few future scientists!!
