Mr. Mc Guire's Class

  'Dia daoibh'. For the month of March we will celebrate and immerse ourselves into the Gaelic language and culture in school. Many exciting events are planned, as part of 'Seachtain na Gaeilge'; for example 'Rince ceilí', 'Lá glas' agus ' Cluichí sa Chlós'. The children really enjoyed all of the Gaelic activities this week.  'Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit'.                                             

  Engineers week 6 th -10 th March     As part of Engineer’s Week, we conducted a study on parachutes in 2 nd class.  The children learned basic facts about aerodynamics.  Then in groups, they designed a parachute that would hold a small action figure in air for a short period. As part of the task, children learned to redesign (if required) elements of their parachute. Overall, the children really enjoyed this ‘hands-on’ and exciting activity. (Mr McGuire).

  Today in school we celebrated World Book Day. It was a day that the children really enjoyed. The children brought in their own teddies and listened to stories collectively. It was a special day in school.  (02/03/2023) Mr McGuire (class teacher).

  On Monday 19th December, there was an 'open morning' for parents/guardians of children to visit the school and sit in on some Christmas activities in class. The children really enjoyed the experience, as did the adults. Also, the school choir sang some beautiful Christmas songs.  On the 20th of December, Santa visited to school and gave each child a present. Furthermore, on the 21st December, the children enjoyed fun activities in class, as well as a Christmas party. Enjoy the holidays-Mr McGuire

  During the week of the Christmas holidays, the children had an oppertunity to visit our local church and see the crib and nativity in front of the altar. The class also meet Father Adrian for a quick welcome and a Christmas blessing.

  On the 7th of December 2022, the children from 2nd classe enjoyed another trip to Ballyfermot library. This time the focus of the visit was a 'hands on' lesson in arts and crafts, which the children really enjoyed. Each child had the opportunity to create a piece of art.
