On Friday 2nd June, Diarmuid’s 6th class and Kevin’s 1st class attended Bloom in the Phoenix Park. We were treated to a tour from Agri Aware and Incredible Edibles. The weather was fantastic and a great day was had.

Today marked the end of the season for our girls and boys basketball teams. Both teams played really well in the National Basketball Arena and represented the school brilliantly. Maith sibh.

A huge well done to all the boys and girls who competed today in the Cumann na mBunscoil Athletics in UCD. We finished with 13 medals, a fantastic achievement. Congrats to all involved.

Our Senior Boys Football Team played in their league semi final in Hillcrest on Thursday afternoon. A number of our classes went to support the boys on the day. Although the result didn’t go our way on the day, the boys represented the school with great courage and pride. Thanks to all the children and teachers for your hard work this year.

The ACETNS Craft Fair took place today, 12th May. All classes worked hard to make wonderful crafts and showcased their fantastic artistic talents at the fair. A big thank our incredible Parent’s Association for organising another amazing fundraiser for our school. Check out the video below to see some of the crafts that were on offer.

5th & 6th class were involved in a biodiversity workshop this week with Dale Treadwell. They  learned about different trees and minibeasts in and around our school. 

Dale brought in some equipment for the children to use to catch and observe the minibeasts found in the tree canopy and ground of our sensory garden. This workshop was provided to the school by the Elliot & Quantain development group, who are currently building in the local area. They teamed up with the Crann (Irish word for tree) initiative to help encourage children in the local area to learn about their environment.
