Hi everyone! Welcome back to school! Follow our blog to see what we are doing in class.
Second Class on Tour!
The children in second class had a great day out at Tayto Park. The highlights included a guided tour of the zoo, playing at the Pow Wow Playground and going on all the rides at the Eagle’s Nest Adventure Zone. Fun was had by all!
“Junk Art”
Second class had great fun during this week’s junk art lesson which was inspired by our upcoming school tour to Tayto Park. Junk art encourages creativity, develops problem solving skills, builds self confidence and develops fine motor skills. Well done! Na páistí is fearr in Éirinn gan aon dabht!

Fun with Shadows
This week First Class took advantage of the sunny spell and explored shadows. We discovered that the closer an object is to the light source, the bigger the shadow. We had great fun tracing outside in the lovely sun but we had to be quick because the clouds were appearing!!

On Tuesday May 14th, Senior Infants headed off on School tour to Bricks4Kids in Santry. The children enjoyed building, inventing and creating with LEGO. They got to test and race their vehicles on the huge ramp. They also enjoyed using motors to make their creations move.
