We have resumed paired reading on Tuesday mornings and are really enjoying weklcoming our parents and grandparents back! This year, we have stepped it up a notch and are using the time to develop critical thinking skills. Our volunteers will be asking question based on the text, inference, use of the picture and making connections. We are so grateful to our volunteers who welcomed this progression so eagerly!

1st class are learning all about primary and secondary colours. We completed a travelling water experiment today in science. What a lovely way to integrate art and Science!

We are just so proud of our U12 players, Kayleigh, Ruby, Éabha and Ellen. They are wonderful role models for younger players. We look forward to following your progress girls!

5th and 6th class were full of enthusiasm and motivation during orienteering today! We love our @ActiveFlag plaques!

A photo just won’t do this justice. Peer tutoring is proven to be a highly effective way of learning and benefits both parties. Here 5th and 6th class are working with senior infants and the sound is so heart warming! They haven’t even noticed the camera! Click the link to view!

Huge thanks to Francis’ dad who came in today to teach the senior students about online safety and what it’s like working for an app company. The Occulus VR headsets were the highlight of the visit – thank you!!! It is amazing to be able to enjoy digital learning in such an experiential, fun way
