Ms. Morris’ senior infants learning phonics in our outdoor classroom on a sunny day! We love our blackboards for days like this! 13/05/2021

2nd & 3rd class  took part in The National Museum of Ireland’s interactive workshop on Bumble & Bees with Dr Karina Dingerkus as part of #NMI-CountryLife schools programme 2021. Our students were fully engaged and asked lots of clever questions! We are very proud of them!

13/05/2021 We were delighted to receive delivery of our beautiful toadstools from The Concrete Lady! They are a beautiful addition to our woodland walkway and I’m sure that our fairies will love their new habitats! Lilian, Charlotte, Tabitha and Hannah found the perfect spots for them!   Planting a Willow Tree!  93cc4d48-0c23-4530-9f76-d3b14e3519c1  Click the link above for more information on our willow planting from Carmel Our Junior Infants are enjoying building their woodpile habitats for mini beasts!  They also enjoy a movement break in our woodland area!       

2nd/3rd class are looking forward to their interactive workshop with The National Museum of Ireland tomorrow around theme of Bees. They have been really buzzzzzzzy  preparing for the workshop and will have lots of questions! Here is their classroom window -we love their art! Pictured: Our bee habitats ready for Beeville! Stay tuned! We are proud to be supporters of the All Ireland Pollinator Plan!

Our 6th class students are taking great pride in developing the walkway for younger students, putting their artistic talents to great use. We will update photos as they finish! Well done all!

4th – 6th class enjoyed a very informative workshop about Animals and Extinction with Geraldine from The Natural History Museum. They looked at fossils and videos of animals that used to roam in Ireland such as The Great Irish Elk, the Grey Wolf, the hyena. We also learned about animals extinct in other countries such as the dodo bird and the thylcine (Tasmanian Tiger/ wolf). We love being able to connect with the wider world using webcams and our interactive whiteboards!
