Our outdoor classroom with Ms Bailey.

Some Children from 6th Class kindly obliged Ms Bailey and helped tp plant apple trees in our outdoor classroom. They dug the soil and planted the trees. We llok forward to the beautiful blooms and fruit from the trees in the years to come.

A visit to Sandycove.

Our 6th Class went on a very exciting field trip to Sandycove with a marine zoologist and environmental scientist to observe the flora and fauna and explore the sea shore. The weather was fabulous and the children had a fantastic time with some fascinating discoveries along the way! We would sincerely like to thank Kildare County Council, Louise Lawlor and all involved in making this a very fun and educational trip for the children.

Willow Weaving fun.

Our 3rd class pupils had lots of fun learning the art of willow weaving this week. They all managed to weave fabulous fish and it was a very fun and relaxing lesson. We have been very lucky to have the expertise of the very talented Beth Murphy showing us this wonderful craft and Beth will be back to us over the coming weeks to work with other classes.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Many thanks to the extremely talented Eimear O’Loughlin and Ciarán English who kindly gave up their time to entertain our whole school playing a medley of traditional Irish tunes on the fiddle and the banjo for each class as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge. It was very much appreciated by the children and the staff and was wonderful to hear the lively music around the school.
