You can’t beat hands on, experiential learning! Capacity with Ms. Penston’s class – look at those happy faces!

I would like to thank the Parents’ Association for all their recent purchases to enhance the quality of learning in our school:There was a significant puchase of instruments for Ceol Castletown and even more have arrived in the new year inlcuding a djembe drum and a keyboard!We were also treated to a haul of PE equipment which will get great use.The PA also responded to our request for an expensive set of decodable readers for our younger pupils. We are thrilled with this investment. Thank you! Emer Russell

5th and 6th class are really enjoying Biology in a Box and undertook a really interesting experiment on the lungs today!

Pictured is Eoghan who was spotted very kindly looking after a junior infant who fell on yard. He brushed his hands down and helped him up! We love to see these acts of kindness – enjoy your sweet treats Eoghan!

Yesterday, we welcomed Cathy Lee back and she brought Alan Poole (BAT man and general bat expert!!) and Sean with her to teach 2nd, 3rd and 4th classes all about bats! We decided to be bat positive after this talk!! It was most interesting and the children learned lots!

Some photos displaying the activities enjoyed by 5th and 6th class during their Climate Change STEAM in a Box sessions. We are thrilled to learn that we have won the opportunity to receive BIOLOGY in a box in the coming weeks! Thanks Ms McDevitt for entering us!! Stay tuned for progress and updates!

Nothing like a good research project to kick start the new year!
