We enjoyed another terrific Zumba class with Flavie this week!
We just love to see the library bus coming every second Tuesday! Pupils are allowed to broswe the selection and check out 2 books for the coming fortnight.
After all the excitement of Zumba yesterday, the pupils of the Junior room had a change of pace this morning when Clare (who covers Eimear’s principal release days every Thursday) started their day with a lovely Yoga session!
We had so much fun today doing Zumba with Flavie. We cannot wait for next week’s class already!
Concrete materials provide wonderful learning opportunities and help to consolidate crucial mathematical topics.
Today, Infants worked together to sort objects by colour and then classified according to their type while 1st and 2nd used Numicon to assist them with addition.
Plenty fun was had along the way!
We were delighted to support such a worthy cause today and look forward to handing over €140 (and still counting!) to the Air Ambulance.
It was wonderful to welcome our pupils back to school on a beautiful sunny morning. A special welcome to our new Junior Infant pupils!
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Wednesday August 31st at 9:05am.
What a day! Our senior room students were able to participate in their very own team build experience. The Teachers have all said how proud they are of the students teamwork and support for one another.
Well done everyone!
We’ve had so much fun at our sports day today!

Welcome to our newest students. We hope you’ve had a brilliant first day.

Not afraid to get creative (or their hands dirty) the Senior Room tried their hands at printing
Spring is here… time for some gardening. The senior room busy planting from seed. We’ll be watching them grow over the coming months.
The Senior Room got creative making colourful nests from recycled fabric and filling them with cute little chicks and delicious Easter treats
The Junior Room made Easter decorations for the Easter Rabbit …. we’re sure the bunny came to everyone!
1st and 2nd have started using the iPads to reinforce the tables that they are working so hard to learn. One of our favourite websites for all classes which we highly recommend is topmarks.co.uk. The game hit the button is especially excellent for developing speed when it comes to number facts. It hardly feels like work at all!
One of the best investments we have made in recent years has been in the Maths programme, Numicon. The children absolutely love using the pieces which help reinforce mathematical concepts. Here you will see rang a haon using Numicon to learn about the number 18 and explore the various ways to make that number.
Junior and Senior Infants have been working so hard on their letter names and sounds. They love being challenged so in addition to breaking down words and sounding them out from the ones Eimear writes on the whiteboard, they also spend time writing letters and words on their own individual mini whiteboards and in play doh. They are such hard workers!
