Tech Week 2021

We marked ‘Tech Week’ from Monday 19th of April to Friday 23rd of April this year.  We are presently working towards the Discover Primary Science Plaque of STEM Excellence which is awarded to schools in recognition of their extensive work in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.  

There were many technology-related activities throughout each class during the week.

IPADS

Our school is very lucky to be in a position to have a set of 30 IPads. Each class had their usual IPad class during the week, where pupils engaged with many educational applications to help with numeracy, literacy, and other areas throughout the curriculum. 

Some Tech Week Activities from around the school

5th Class were busy coding during the week creating their own “Dance Party using code.org. This proved a great hit with all pupils.

Also, 5th Class designed their own parachutes and tested them to find the time they took to hit the ground from a specific height. 

3rd Class planned, designed, and executed their experiment to move a range of model vehicles using battery power fans. Also, they completed projects on interesting inventors from history. Well done 3rd Class!

2nd Class designed their own Pet Apps, there were some amazing design suggestions from these budding app developers. Also, they completed some problem solving and literacy-based activities using Ipads. 

Check out the pictures below, more will follow very soon.

Student Council

Student Council Update

Our Student Council is made up of two class members from each class in the school. They meet regularly to discuss student concerns and to provide suggestions on how our school can improve. Our student council has done some fantastic work so far this year!

“We are all different but in this school, we swim together”

As the student council’s first initiative, every pupil in the school designed their own fish. These are now on display in the school hall under the slogan “We are all different but in this school, we swim together”. I’m sure you’ll agree it is a very colorful display and more importantly, contains a valuable message to all our pupils.

School Benches

As a result of other student suggestions from a recent Student Council meeting, we have recently placed benches around the school track. There are lots of other ideas being discussed by our student representatives so watch this space!

Well done to everybody 😊

Daffodil Day 2021

Daffodil Day 2021

Today, the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Fundraiser took place in school.

All children were invited to wear yellow or orange on the day. Also, this year we decided to take on the challenge of running 100k around our track.

We’d like to thank everybody for their generous donations to this  very worthy cause. We raised a total of 1740 euro during the day, which truly is an amazing result.

As Daffodil Day coincided with the day of our Easter Holidays, we even had a visit from the Easter Bunny who generously gave Easter Eggs to all pupils of our school.

The Easter Bunny and his very able helpers provided great fun and laughter in all the classes. Thank you kindly for your visit.

Check out the gallery below for a snapshot of our Daffodil Day fundraiser including our dash around the track and the Easter Bunny visit 🌻
