Exciting Changes to Our Library System!

Posted on by

Dear Parents,

We are thrilled to announce a major update to the way we run our school library! Our Junior Library is now live on our online system via Aladdin, making it easier than ever for students to check out and return books.

Here’s what’s new:

  • All Junior Library books are now online: Every book has been added to our Aladdin system, giving students access to a vast collection of books at their fingertips.
  • Easy check-in and check-out: Students can now check books in and out by simply scanning their new library cards, making the process quick and seamless.

We are very excited about this upgrade and believe it will enhance the reading experience for our young learners.

In addition, we’re beginning the same process for our Senior Library and hope to have all books uploaded to the system soon.

We look forward to continuing to support your child’s reading journey and are excited for them to explore the new features of our digital library system. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Happy reading!

A Busy March in Senior Infants!

Posted on by

We have had a very busy few weeks in Senior Infants. We started off March celebrating Pancake Tuesday by cooking and decorating tasty pancakes.

On World Book Day, we enjoyed reading plenty of books, went on a book walk around the school and had an immersive story time in the school library.

For Seachtain na Gaeilge the children got to experience traditional Irish music, brush dancing, stories in Irish, a ceilí and learned the story of St. Patrick.

This week, we went on a nature walk in our school garden to hunt for signs of spring.

Creative writers busy at work in 3rd Class!

Posted on by

Today, Mr Smyth’s 3rd Class took out the student laptops and started to type some of their great writing work.They started to learn how to create paragraphs (which they were learning about in Jolly Grammar recently) in a word document, to spell check and to edit their own work, which they have been writing in their writing workbooks. They are working on their recount and narrative stories and soon will start on their explanation writing! We’re very proud of our budding authors! Well done 3rd Class!
