Last Friday, on the 28th of September, the school traveled to Port Beach. All of the classes engaged with Science lessons as we examined the life found on our coast. Each class also took part in a number of games on the beach which they loved! 3rd – 6th Class were given an ‘Art Attack’ task and the results were amazing. Here are some pictures of the activities 3rd and 4th class enjoyed.

On Thursday the boys and girls from 5th and 6th took the infant room students out into the garden for some reading in the good weather. A most enjoyable time was had by all, a good idea for those summer months at home in the garden!
On Tuesday afternoon, 5 boys and girls represented the school at the local Cumann na mBunscol quiz held in Callystown N.S., Clogherhead. The great news is they came first, getting a very impressive score. They will now go on and compete at the county finals next Tuesday in Knockbridge. Well done to them!
This week the boys and girls in 5th and 6th class attended a science show “How to Save the World in 45 Minutes!” in account of it being National Science Week. Everybody learned lots and really enjoyed the show. One pupil from 5th class even took part in a demonstration.
Last Thursday the boys and girls in 5th and 6th class got to showcase their tennis skills at Dundalk Tennis Club. Gus, our tennis coach invited us to practice and compete with the pupils from St. Francis School Blackrock.
All the pupils had great fun practicing their skills and playing competitive singles and doubles matches. Well done to all!
As the weather improves, more and more children have told us that they would like to cycle to school. As safety is so important, we wanted to teach the children how to cycle safely. So Sorcha, our Green School Travel officer spent the day with us teaching us all about cycling and bike safety. She made sure all the children’s helmets were fitted properly and she showed them how to use their brakes correctly. Sorcha also set up drills to help the children with their balance, cycle with one hand off, keep a good distance from one another, cycle two abreast and use the correct hand signalling. It was a really useful and informative workshop. Thanks Sorcha!
