We wrapped up this incredible school year with a Virtual School Tour to Edinburgh Zoo. After a quick ‘sing song on the bus’, the children took over as the Zookeepers while we looked at the animals on their webcams. They had all researched a fact or two about the animals of Edinburgh Zoo and amazed us all with their knowledge – one stand out fact being that tiger’s pee smells like buttered popcorn!!!
Well done girls and boys, as always you blew us away with your creativity and enthusiasm!
We all enjoyed our Virtual Sports Day via Zoom today! Sure why wouldn’t you be throwing your teddy around of a Friday morning! Well done girls and boys, you were brilliant!
We couldn’t be together in person, but in Spring 2020 we came together for a very special project. Maeve got us all a caterpillar each to raise in our own homes. Over the next few weeks we watched them transform into beautiful butterflies and then released them from our gardens and balconies. Goodbye butterflies, we will always remember how incredible you were!
Bhí Seachtain na Gaeilge iontach againn. Bhaineamar an-taitneamh as an cuairt a thug Sandymount Park Educate Together Secondary School orainn. Bhíomar ag cáint, ag dathaigh agus ag sugradh le chéile! Bhaineamar an-taitneamh as an cuairt. Go raibh mile maith agaibh Sandymount Park Educate Together Secondary School.

We’ve had a very busy September in the Senior Infant Classroom. We had our first whole-school assembly for the year, hosted by Senior Infants. We spoke about Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) at assembly, and offered apples and honey to the Junior Infants and wished them ‘Shana Tova’ (Happy New Year in Hebrew).
The children also created projects about themselves and presented them to the class. The quality was incredible, and the best thing about each project was that it was so individual 🙂
The boys and girls in Junior Infants had a super day today wearing ‘glas’ for Lá Fhéile Pádraig! Enjoy the long weekend everybody! We’ll see you back in school at 9am on Tuesday the 18th March.
It’s International Women’s Day! Today (and every Friday) in Junior Infants, Killian our GAA Coach (Templeogue Synge Street GAA Club) came to work on some ball-handling skills with us. Take a look at how much fun we had!
Killian’s Gaelic Football Academy runs on Saturdays @ 11.30am in Dolphin Park, Crumlin Road. It’s suitable for boys and girls aged 4-7.
We’re learning all about being ‘safe’ with the Stay Safe programme this month.
The Stay Safe Programme is a mandatory programme for all primary school children to help them deal with ‘Feeling Safe and Unsafe’, ‘Friendship & Bullying’, ‘Touches’, ‘Secrets & Telling’ and ‘Strangers’. The children will be taught this programme at an age-appropriate level from Junior Infants right up to Sixth Class. Parents can learn more about this programme here.
This week in Junior Infants we were learning all about feeling safe, and who we could tell if we were feeling unsafe e.g. if we got lost in the shopping centre, or someone was always hurting us or being mean to us. Here are some examples of who our students would tell:
The boys and girls in Junior Infants brought in their favourite books to share with the class on World Book Day! We had hoped to visit Dolphin’s Barn library for storytime on the day, but the weather was pretty cold and wet out there, so we stayed nice and cosy in the classroom instead. We hope to visit the newly refurbished Kevin Street Library very soon with the class, and we’ll share a post with you about it then. (It’s pretty amazing. There’s a slide!!!)
In the meantime, we were able to buy over 600 (YES 600!!) Oxford Reading Tree books with the money the parents fundraised from our Sponsored Walk. These will be such a huge help when we begin team-teaching for literacy and power hour in levelled reading groups next term 🙂
