Assembly and Friendship Week

We had a great assembly today to finish our Friendship Week. Senior infants led the singing of our song for this month for Learn Together and did a great job. Check out the video and photos below.

After the great performance Dan presented this week’s principal awards. Congratulations to all the boys and girls who received a certificate this week!

The boys and girls in all the classes had a fantastic Friendship Week and below are a few photos of the different activities that went on. Classes made friendship cards, did collaborative colouring projects, played lots of team building games and loads more!

2nd Class Hurling Blitz

This week 2nd class participated in a hurling blitz in St. Kevin’s GAA club. The blitz was organised by club GPO Jenny who visits our school every Tuesday. All local schools took part and there were some local derbies between our school and near neighbours Griffith Barracks MDNS and Harold’s Cross ETNS. Well done to all the children and staff who made this a very enjoyable day for everyone. Maith sibh!

Ranelagh Gaels GAA coaching in HTETNS!

Today our Junior & Senior Infants enjoyed some gaelic football coaching from former Dublin star and Ranelagh Gaels GAA Club, coaching officer Simon Lambert. The children all had terrific fun working on their agility, balance and co-ordination with the ball. We cannot wait to see Simon again next week! It is great to be able to develop a partnership between Ranelagh Gaels GAA Club and the school. We look forward to this developing further in the future!

Friday Assembly- September 16th

We had a great school assembly today. Our theme for this month is co-operation and 3rd class showed everyone some fun games where the boys and girls all have to work together. Everyone can go off and try them now in their own classes! We also listened to a song about counting on our friends and getting along.

Then there was big excitement for Dan’s Principal Awards. Check out the photos below for some pictures from today.

Well done everyone and have a lovely weekend!

What Senior Infants Have Been Up To!

Senior infants have been very busy since we returned to school, learning and having lots of fun too! Our theme this month is “Homes” so we tried to incorporate that into a lot of our learning activities. Check out a few snippets of what we have been up to!


We have been doing lots of fine motor tasks during morning activities to get our hands nice and strong for writing.

In art we drew self portraits!

In English we learned the story of Hansel and Gretel – we designed our own ginger bread house and learned what characters and settings were!

In aistear we had a lot of fun in the home corner!

We had lots of messy fun pouring, measuring, emptying and imagining we were baking at the tuff tray!

In small world we played with different types of homes including animal homes!

We built and designed some really cool types of homes in Construction!

We have been very busy and looking forward to lots more learning next week!

Wonderful innovative teaching and learning in HTETNS!

There has been a lot of wonderful work happening around Harcourt Terrace ETNS over the past week. Here are a few samples of the learning opportunities our fantastic team have provided for our valued children. We empower creativity when it comes to teaching and learning. Well done to all involved!

Our First Assembly of the year!

Today we all came together to celebrate our first assembly of the year. We welcomed all of our new children and staff to the school. We had some winners from Senior Infants in an Art competition that they entered in June. Their winning entries were displayed in the Hugh Lane Gallery. A huge thanks to Siobhán for organising all of this for our children. What an honour for our school!

Look how much we have grown this year!
