✨ A Throwback for the Day That’s in It! ✨The halls were buzzing, the cameras were rolling, and Ryan Tubridy was teaching his heart out at Scoil Chroí Íosa! 🤩
Our pupils brought the fun, the heart, and the sparkle — and the whole country got to see it. 💛

Ms Lane and Ms Walsh’s 5th classes came together today to practice their carols ahead of their performance in Kent Train Station next Thursday! They also designed Patrick Kielty’s Christmas jumper while listening to some of their favourite festive songs. A brilliant morning of music, creativity, and Christmas spirit! 🎄🎶✨
The chess team had a fantastic day today at @scoil_bhailenora’s chess tournament! They represented themselves and our school incredibly well, showing great focus and sportsmanship throughout! ♟️✨
Best of luck to this 4th class pupil who is staring in The Sound of The Northside with @thekabinstudio on Friday 12th of December!
An incredible achievement! 🌟

🎉 Frása na Seachtaine 🎉
This week’s Irish phrase is:
“Seo duit!” 🤲🇮🇪
📚✨ It means “Here you go!”, a lovely, everyday phrase to use when handing something to someone.
Try using it in class or at home:
👉 Seo duit, a Sheán!
(Here you go, Seán!)
👉 Seo duit, a mhúinteoir!
(Here you go, teacher!)

Our Friday spirits were sky-high with a special visit from the Army Band! 🎶 The children learned all about the different instrument families, enjoyed some of our favourite songs (including a K-Pop Demons moment!) and had the best time singing and clapping along. 🥁✨Ms Lane even jumped right into the middle of the children to get everyone going — full YMCA energy! 😄 Such a fun, musical morning for everyone!
A massive thank you to the Army Band for visiting us today!
Crafting Club with Ms. Kelliher today at Big Lunch was full of creativity and fun! From crochet blankets to little knitted animals, the students were making amazing things and showing off their crafty skills! 🧶✨
