Recently we had an outdoor assembly where we sang and danced as a whole school to celebrate a few important events in Harcourt Terrace E.T.N.S. We all sang “If you’re happy and you know it” while stamping our feet and clapping our hands. Of course there were a few important birthday milestones in the school which we marked too. A huge thank you to Ronnie who provided the wonderful music from her guitar which we all enjoyed. Check out the lovely photos below.
What an exciting first day back we had today! We met our new teachers and some new friends and we played in our new yard and classrooms. A huge thank you to everybody who made both the indoor and outdoor spaces happen. The children were so happy in school today!
Lori & Dan treated us all to some ice-cream after we toured our gorgeous new building. Now to get down to the hard work of setting up these clean, empty rooms to make them the best classrooms in Dublin! We can’t wait to see you on Tuesday 31st of August!
Don’t forget we’re lining up at the FRONT of the building beside the library’s accessible entrance ready for school to start at 8.30am on Tuesday morning.
We were very sad to say goodbye to our principal Niamh Cullen on Friday 25th June. We gathered in the yard for a whole school assembly to honour all that Niamh has done for us since we opened in September 2018. It’s been an amazing three years with Niamh at the front and center of our gorgeous school community. All the best to you Niamh on your new journey with Gracepark ETNS. Looking forward to inviting you back for the big official opening of our permanent school building in Harcourt Terrace in a couple of short years’ time. You’ll be missed.
Junior Infants have been learning the Maths vocabulary ‘full’ and ’empty’. Watch out for the shark 😉
Our fantastic Quilt Maker has completed the quilt in County Cork and it is en route back to us! She said it was her favourite project of 2021. Watch this space!
As part of the Learn Together curriculum, we explore a value a month in the school. The Junior Infants made this lovely video about the value of honesty.
Welcome to our school quilt project! In a year where it has been very hard to come together as a whole school, Maeve came up with this idea as a way to beat the bubbles and bring us together. Every child and adult in the school is decorating a fabric square with a picture of what they love and missed about school. They will then be combined into a patchwork style quilt to display in our school forever. The cotton squares are the colours used in the Educate Together logo.
It’s a highlight of every morning to see who has finished their beautiful square. We will be posting them to the quilt maker shortly.
Cathy organised a huge order of books in lots of different languages. She researched the countries that the children of our school have family in and made sure these languages will be represented in our class libraries. Hurrah!
