We had a wonderful time celebrating Friendship Week! We enjoyed making friendship bracelets with our buddies, completing a treasure hunt, creating a friendship wreath and engaging in activities that encouraged teamwork and cooperation. It was a great opportunity to make connections, develop social skills and highlight the importance of kindness and collaboration.  

A huge thank you to Mr. Diffley for bringing in a real bee hive and giving our class a fascinating look at the world of bees! 🐝

The children learned all about what it takes to care for bees, from checking the hive to keeping the colony healthy — and even how honey is harvested. It was a sweet and educational experience that got everyone buzzing with curiosity! 🍯✨

We have visited the library a number of times this year. We love picking and reading new books. 

Our 1st to 6th Class pupils are loving their weekly ukulele lessons with Music Generation! The ukulele is a small, four-stringed instrument that’s easy to learn and perfect for playing fun songs — it’s cheerful, portable, and brings instant smiles. 🎸✨

We’ve been practising chords, learning rhythms, and can’t wait to learn some new songs together in the coming weeks. The classrooms are full of music, laughter, and lots of eager little strummers! 🎶💛

Huge thanks to Nutritionist Riona from Glanmore foods for hosting a nutrition workshop with our class. We learned about nutrition and healthy eating. We tried different healthy food and made some tortilla selfies. Take a look at some of the funny faces we created.

1st and 2nd class took part in the Children’s Book Festival in Ballygar library. They helped Sarah Sparkles to create a story using magic. They had so much fun at the storytelling event. Take a look at some of the photos.

1st and 2nd class had rugby coaching every Tuesday with Micheál. All classes from infants- sixth took part and learned lots of new skills.

As Part of EU Code Week We had a coding workshop. We learned all about coding blocks and even got to code our very own dance party. Take a look at the video to see what we got up to.

1st and 2nd class have been learning all about colours and light. We created our own colour wheels by mixing primary colours to make secondary colours. We also used a prism to make a rainbow from the sunlight shining into our classroom.

1st and 2nd class had great fun using their maths today.
