World Book Day

Thursday 2nd March is World Book Day.
The children are encouraged to bring their favourite book to school on this day for Drop Everything and Read.
We will also be running our annual World Book Day dress up competition where the children can dress up as their favourite book character. As usual there will be a prize for the best HOMEMADE book character costume.
We look forward to another successful and fun World Book Day.

Maths Week

This year Maths week ran from the 12th to the 16th October and was a great success. Once again all the pupils were engaged in maths activities to emphasise the fun and learning that can be enjoyed whilst doing maths. Some of the classes checked the yard looking for clues on their maths trails, counting shapes and measuring windows with their clipboards in hand. 
The junior classes visited the hall to avail of the many activities set up for them to enjoy, such as sorting socks into pairs, following patterns, finding shapes with mini-twister. The boys and girls had great fun acquiring maths skills in this fun environment.
The importance of maths in everyday life and in people's work was emphasised and the pupils were enthralled at how much maths actually surrounds them

Healthy Eating

Well done to all pupils remembering to bring in only water or milk for their drink each day. This is a wonderful healthy change to our school policy.

All the classes got their photo taken with the famous cup!. We shouted 'Up the Dubs!' in huge, loud voices! It was great fun! Well done to the Dublin team on winning The All-Ireland Football Championship this year!
