Trip to Iveagh Gardens

Lunch at Rose Garden

When we arrived, we went straight to the Rose Gardens to have lunch. There we chatted with friends while eating. The Rose Garden was beautiful, there was a huge metal structure around the garden. Inside of the structure there were patches of soil where there were roses being grown. We had wonderful lunch as the smell of roses wafted around us.

       

The Maze

After lunch we went to explore the park, there we found a maze, the maze was a giant circle made with hedges, in the middle there was a sun clock. From above it probably looked like a massive celt sign. Soon our friends found us, and we started playing ball tag. The aim of the game was not to get caught though we were running in a maze, the tagger had a ball to make it easier for them, you could either get caught by the ball or the person. The game was so fun that we probably spent an half an hour playing the game.

   

     

 

The Walk

Finally, the teachers told us that it was time to take a nice walk around the park. We took our belongings and started to head on the walk. In the meantime, we passed a huge waterfall, but it didn’t have any water falling at the moment, does it still count as a waterfall? Then we walked past two headless statues, kind of creepy. After that we walked some more and saw a woman having a photo shoot, I hope we didn’t interfere. And finally, we came to a log garden and took some photos.

   

After a lovely day we came back to school and chilled.

You are welcome to come along at 9.00am next Wednesday morning, 12th of March 2025.

Please share this information with anyone who might be interested in learning more about our school!

Peace Proms

 

 

The children from 4th and 5th Class represented our school at the Peace Proms in the RDS on Sunday 2nd February. The children were part of a large choir, joining schools from around Dublin to perform with the Cross Border Orchestra of Ireland.

 

   

The children performed songs across a range of musical genres; pop, dance, music from musicals and some 80s and 90s throwbacks! They choreographed their own dance moves for some of the songs and had great fun singing and dancing.

It was a fantastic event and we are so proud of the children for their wonderful performances!

November and December Activities

The theme for November was ‘Materials’. In Science, we made parachutes out of paper and plastic and tested which material was better at floating to the ground. In Music, we made some homemade instruments from household materials.

 

In December, we were very lucky to have some parents visit Senior Infants to do workshops. Alma’s mum taught the children all about Hanukkah. Alma and her mum performed a few songs for the class and everyone got to play with dreidels. It was great fun! Later on in the month, Patrick’s mum visited the class and made some yummy hot chocolate with the children. She also showed the children how to make cookies. Afterwards, the children enjoyed their hot chocolate and cookies. What a treat!

October Activities

In October, we completed some thematic learning on ‘Food’. We learnt how to say certain foods as Gaeilge, completed some apple printing to create a pumpkin patch in Visual Arts and played ‘Restaurants’ in the role-play area. We also read  picture books about food and completed some procedural writing on ‘How to Make Rice Krispie Buns’ in English.

 

In PE, we explored the gymnastics strand. The children in Senior Infants had great balance walking across the beam!

For the last day of term, we dressed up and played some party games. It was a great end to a busy term.

 

Active Slogan

In October we set about coming up with our active slogan!

We were lucky we had so much interest from all classes in the school and it made our decision very difficult.

The committee decided on a slogan that was catchy, easy to remember and summed up our ethos!

Our slogan was created by Asia in 1st Class and goes like this:

“Every Little Bit Can Get us Fit”

It’s a great slogan as it reminds us that we can do a little bit everyday in the journey towards being more active !

Well done Asia!

Winter Events 2024

We’ve had a flurry of special days in the senior end of the school. 5th class had back to back  trips to a Peace Proms rehearsal along with 4th class, and also went to Dreamscape in Microsoft for a very cool coding workshop. Then 2nd to 5th class rounded off the term with a magical trip to the cinema, thank you to Tony for organising this and for my big coke which absolutely no children were jealous of 😀

Have a wonderful Winter Break everyone!
