Trying our hand at St. Brigid’s Crosses
Last Wednesday marked the first official day of Spring and the Christian feast of St. Brigid. Given that St. Brigid is said to have been born in Co. Louth, we in 6th class thought it was important to keep the cross-making tradition going. 3 hours, lots of team-work and a very messy classroom later, we […]
2nd Class Chinese Projects
We have been very busy in 2nd class learning all about China. We made Chinese dragons, clay models and gathered all our information from both home and school to create fantastic projects! 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. They learned all about Antarctica and Penguins, they even got to see what blubber feels like during a science experiment. The highlight of this term for most of the boys and girls was getting to do their first assembly in front […]

When I grow up, I’m going to be….
As part of our Geography, CSPE and SPHE classes, we have been learning about the roles of different people in our community. We have also been looking into a crystal ball and predicting the jobs that we may have in the future. As part of our study, parents were invited to come into the class […]
A Very Special Visit!
On Wednesday we were so “eggcited” as John and his daddy, Tom, brought in 6 very special guests for us to meet. Tom arrived with 6 tiny little chicks. He told us the chicks were only 1 week old. They were covered in soft yellow fluff but we could see that some of them were […]
