Ms. Kiely’s and Ms. O’ Connor’s senior infants have been learning about fairytales over the last number of weeks. Their favourite so far has been Cinderella. Not only did they listen to the story, but they created beautiful carriages during their art lesson. During maths stations, they used 2d shapes to create Prince Charming’s castle. They boys and girls even decided to host their very own ball. In preparation for the ball, they designed invitations and constructed crowns and tiaras to wear. The children had a fantastic time showing off their dance moves at the ball. Wow, what great activities! (more…)

Kindness Week reminds us of the importance of being kind to each other. The boys and girls celebrated by using kind words, playing together nicely in the playground and including everyone in their games. In class, artwork was created, stories were listened to and kind deeds were performed. Kindness certs were awarded to children who were spotted being kind throughout the week. (more…)

Ms. Carroll-Lawler’s class had many happy moments in school this week. They played with their new friends from 1st class, took part in science experiments, had fun painting and played music together. Sounds like a great week! (more…)

Sixth class thought they were in for a treat when Ms. Kiely and Mrs. O’Regan pulled out tubes of Pringles! Instead of eating them, they explored gravity and used forces to complete their Pringles challenge which was to make a full circle. They also used acids and bases to explore the different reactions with these. Congrats girls on a great week. (more…)

Fifth class threw themselves wholeheartedly into Science Week. They enjoyed many activities and experiments over several days. Once again, their science box was provided by Lismore Primary Science. They looked at acids, bases, the ph scale and even chemical reactions when making lava lamps and rockets. Well done girls, you are quite the scientists! (more…)

Fourth class had a memorable topic for Science Week … Disgusting Digestion! The girls were delighted and disgusted at the same time. It was a run through of human digestion from table, all the way to the toilet!! Thanks again to Lismore Primary Science for providing the science kits. The girls also got to show off their engineering skills by constructing towers using cocktail sticks and clay. Impressive efforts!  (more…)

Ms. Solich’s class enjoyed science activities both indoors and outdoors. Thanks again to Lismore Primary Science for delivering the science boxes. They also got creative and designed habitats for badgers using matchsticks.  Lots of fun was had this week. (more…)

Both senior infant classes entered into the spirit of Science Week if the photos are anything to go by! Once again a big thank you to Lismore Primary Science for providing the science boxes. The boys and girls discovered volcano fun, the magic glove experiment and static electricity on balloons to name a few. (more…)

The junior infants thoroughly enjoyed their first experience of Science Week. We are very grateful to Lismore Primary Science for supplying the science boxes to each of the classes. The different experiments had fizz, whizz and wow! They got to take part in some volcano fun and a magic glove experiment. The boys and girls were amazed at the results and couldn’t believe their eyes. (more…)

To say that there was huge excitement for the return of our annual Witches Walk was an understatement! Not only is it a day where both the children and staff dress up, but it’s a vital fundraiser for the school too. This year, there were three different walking routes with classes assigned to each. This ensured that everybody was safe and classes could socially distance. As always, there was an amazing atmosphere in school throughout the day. A big thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser and to all the children for getting into the Halloween spirit. (more…)
