• Science Reading Challenge

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  These last few weeks leading up to Science Week, all the children in school were encouraged to pick up non-fiction scientific related books to read. Alongside this, each boy and girl were given a reading passport that contained numerous challenges within them. Ten stars were available to be attained and today at assembly all those who maxed out their star chart were presented with a certificate to acknowledge their success.

  Well done!

• Principal’s Award Winner

  Fri 15 Mar 2024

  Aaron P3

  Aaron is an extremely pleasant pupil who always has a smile on his face. He is a well-mannered and polite young person who loves school life and is always determined to give everything 100%. 

  Aaron has really impressed Mr McCartan with all the hard work he has been doing in preparation for their First Confession. He is also a very sporty individual who loves to compete within PE, Acti-Sport and the GAA After School Club. 

  Aaron is a hard grafter and this shows throughout his Numeracy and Literacy work. He is always very enthusiastic throughout lessons and loves to take part in classroom games. Aaron enjoys using mental maths strategies like partitioning to help him work out mathematical sums quickly. 

  Aaron you are a very worthy recipient of this award. Keep up the hard work!

  

• Elephant Toothpaste

  Thu 14 Mar 2024

  Mr McCartan’s class had great fun today celebrating Science Week. Together they used vinegar, baking soda, food colouring and liquid soap to make 'Elephant Toothpaste' which created their very own chemical reaction!

  This was a really fun scientific undertaking that the children all loved. It was a great chance to link in an experiment with their World Around Us topic 'The Jungle.' There were lots of amazed pupils in P2/P3 after seeing the reactions from their endeavours.
