Emma in our class prepared well for the big semi final in the gaa league recently by having a nice cup of tea!  The class had a good laugh at her colour coordinated irish flag outfit. The tea must have worked because the girls won their match and are looking forward to a final next week.

Roots of Empathy

We recently started our 'Roots of Empathy' classes with Margit. These pictures show baby Lottie's first visit , we are really looking forward to watching her grow up over the coming year. Lottie loves to laugh and wiggle, just like her big brother in our class , Bobby.

Back at school !

We are now back at school for nearly a whole half term . Here are some nice pictures that we took in September in our patio. Thanks to Mr Breatnach for planting the lovely sunflowers in June , Kyle in our class says that they are 'Coola boola '

Jade beats the bleep test record !

Jade Kendrick in our class was both delighted and exhausted after he set a new school record of endurance in the bleep test .His record score was 19.3 and he is hoping to maybe even beat this in a month or so when we redo the test.  He was closely followed by Chloe Matthews and Blathnaid Grant, well done to all who took part.

Bookmarks Project

Our class is back to work with a bang after Christmas with our exciting 'Bookmarks'project.. Last week we attended the launch at Trinity College . We got to see the famous 'Pollard' collection of children's book and we got a guided tour of the Book of Kells and the Long Room library. It is incredible to think that in about 6 weeks time, our own books will be on display in the library for everyone to see! Our project work kicks off for real this Wednesday when Catherine and Hannah come into school to help us write and illustrate our books .

Great News!!

Our class was delighted to learn today that we have been selected in the Trinity College  'Bookmarks' programme. As part of this exciting project we will all be writing and illustrating our own books and will get to work with a professional writer and illustrator . The best part of the project though is the fact that our books will be on display in the world famous long room library at Trinity College where thousands of people visit every day .

Science Workshop at Dun Laoghaire Library

In November our class was lucky enough to be invited to an exciting science workshop in the new Dun laoghaire library. We learned all about 'makey makey' boards which are a really cool way of connecting electrical circuits. We used our makey makey boards to make a piano out of fruits and a game controller out of play dough. The two teachers were phd students from Trinity college and they were both really smart!
