What a fun filled few weeks we have had. We visited the Dead Zoo in November and had a wonderful tour. We loved exploring there. It was our first trip on Dublin Bus so that was exciting. We have created lots of christmas art over the last few weeks. We also made a christmas tree for the Christmas tree festival. We have been working on the theme of An scoil (school) and An Nollaig (Christmas) in Irish. We have been looking at recount writing in English. We wrote Christmas poems. In drama we had great fun in groups creating freeze frames. In PE we were working on dance and created short dances in groups. We had our wonderful carol service so lots of singing. Ready to re-charge the batteries for more fun and learning in 2026. Wishing you all a fabulous Christmas and best wishes for 2026.
A big welcome back to school. What a busy September it has been! Learning lots and getting back into our routine. Every morning we start our day with a morning meeting. It gets us off to a great start. We were learning about mè fèin in gaeilge learning lots of vocabularly and practising our conversation. In history we looked at sources of information and school in the past. In science we looked our bodies. We have looked at growth mindset and hosted our assembly on it.
