World Book Day
“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go” (Dr. Seuss) It was World Book Day on the 2nd March and in celebration, a lot of boys and girls in Le Chéile dressed up as their favourite book character. Greg Heffley, Heidi, wizards […]
World Book Day Celebrations
On Thursday 2nd of March everyone in Le Chéile celebrated the 20th anniversary of World Book Day. The children in Senior Infants were very excited to get involved in many events. Everyone brought in one of their favourite books from home. We used these for “Show and Tell” and then wrote a sentence about them. […]
Operation Transformation 10@10
We were prompted by RTE to get involved in the Operation Transformation 10@10 activity day. Everybody in the school took ten minutes out at 10 a.m. to do ten minutes exercise today, the 10th of February. This is commonly done by various teachers in the school in their own time but it was a first […]

Can you identify some of these well known Chinese symbols made from clay? Chinese people all over the world are celebrating this festival […]
A busy few months in First Class
The boys and girls in First class were very busy before the Christmas holidays.

The highlight of this term for most of the boys and girls was getting to do their first assembly in front […]
He’s behind you!
On Monday afternoon, all children from 1st to 6th class got an unexpected surprise. A travelling theatre company had contacted the school, offering to put on their production of “Robin Hood”. We gratefully accepted and settled in to an afternoon of pure panto entertainment. The staff and children thoroughly enjoyed the show with many becoming […]
