Bhí an coiste an-ghnóthach ag múineadh na phrasaí i ngach rang inniu. Bhí an-spraoí againn go léir. The Irish committee were very busy teaching the phrases in every class today. So much fun was had by all! ☘️
A great start to the school year! Lots of smiles, laughter, and dance moves as we reach midterm!
Guímid Oíche Shamhna shona, shábháilte oraibh go léir!💀🎃👻

✨Congratulations to our Rang a Cúig handwriting champions, Mia and Ruslan!✍️
Their beautiful penmanship and attention to detail have set a wonderful example for everyone in the class! 🌟
Ms.Burke’s Rang a Dó had a spooky morning exploring their senses🧙♀️✨ Those who dared to enter the witches’ cavern investigated mysterious bags filled with secret potion ingredients — smelling, touching, and guessing what might be inside!
Yesterday Ms Carroll’s Class enjoyed a range of pumpkin-themed learning activities. They started with phonics games using pumpkins, followed by some hands-on maths practice. They practiced their “Five Little Pumpkins” rhyme and finally the children had a wonderful time painting their pumpkins and showing off their creativity!

Ms Walsh’s 5th class turned their jumpers inside out today to raise awareness for EB (Butterfly Skin) and to show kindness, empathy, and support for those living with this rare condition 💙 #InsideOutDay #EBAwareness #KindnessCounts
Mrs Lanes multigrade class visited Ms O’ Callaghan’s Junior infants on Tuesday to read some picture books and get to know our youngest students. We all had a great time reading and chatting.
