Science Experiments

 For Science week, the children carried out some experiments in class. They used this experiment to learn about density. They had a lot of fun pouring in the different liquids and guessing what would happen!

Skipping Workshop

 The boys and girls had a skipping workshop in the yard. They learned loads of cool tricks! We've gotten loads of new skipping ropes for the children to practice their new skills

during their yard break.

Happy Halloween!

 The boys and girls had some brilliant costumes this year!  They were able to show them off to the whole school during a socially distant parade in the yard! There was also friendly rivalry amongst the staff for best costume this year! 

Our Trip to Killiney Hill

 We walked to Killiney Hill to check out the monuments that inspired our lovely artwork!

Virtual Sports Day - Friday 19th June 2020

Normally at this time of the year we would be having our Sports Day, which is always one of the most fun days in the school year for all of us!!!

Unfortunately this year with our school closed we can't do our Sports Day.
Instead, we would love if you took part in our Virtual Sports Day!

Taking part is easy!!:

• We have picked different activities and challenges that you should be able to do with very little equipment that can all be found around your house!
• You can record yourself doing as many of the activities as you like and send a video of your best attempt to us on Seesaw!
• You will receive a 'Virtual Sports Day' Booklet on the day you are collecting your copies, books, artwork etc.. with the details of the activities and explanations.
