This morning, there was a very productive joint meeting of The Student Council and The Amber Ambassadors. I look forward to reading the minutes and see what plans and decisions have been made!

We incorporated new instruments into our ukulele class – check out our video! Thank you Diarmuid and Ms. ní Shúilleabháin!

There was great engagement in this week’s Biology in a Box with 5th and 6th class. Using plasticine, they recreated the parts of the heart and really enjoyed the process!

Our art gallery is replenished with some lovely artwork. What a lovely greeting to meet you when you arrive at our school!

We spoke today about the recent fantastic success of Rhasidat Adeleke in school today – we love to promote the achievements of Irish women in sport! Congratulations @rhasidatadeleke !! You are an inspiration to our young, female athletes. Flying the flag for Ireland!

We had lovely news today when Aodán received a response from his carehome resident along with €5 for him to spend on himself! What a treat and unexpected reward for an act of kindness!!

Today was a really interesting day for 3rd-6th class students as they welcomed Niall from Trócaire. Niall taught the children about global justice and there was lots of fun with interactive board games. We love to develop our students’ social consciences.

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
