Autism Awareness Week is being celebrated in the school from the 27th – 31st March.
Stay tuned to acetns.ie for more information!!

The children in the school have been learning about how many children with autism experience their surroundings differently, with a sensory overload!!

The teachers were also very lucky today to have Brian from Autism awareness Ireland come and talk to us about how we can be more aware of the different ways children learn.

On Friday the school will have a big sponsored walk to raise money for equipment for the sensory garden and the den. The children have been given sponsorship cards and it would be great if you could help in any way you can. Hope to see everyone there!

Caoimhe’s class did an amazing performance today at assembly. We learned about the life of Tom Crean through drama and story telling and then they finished off with an old song Tom Crean would have sang.

A link to their performance of Tom Crean’s life can be found Here!

Damiens 4th class blew us all  away with their creative skills at a recent assembly. Here are just 3 of the wonderful limericks which they wrote themselves :

This years Seachtain na Gaeilge was another great success! Thank you to all the dancers, musicians, teachers and parents who made it so special. Special thanks to Zara for her hard work in getting all the children ready for the Céilí Mór and Aisling for organising another great Seachtain na Gaeilge. We also now have a beautiful mural on the yard outside the hall helping us learn a ‘cúpla focal as gaeilge'(couple of words in Irish).

‘May the road rise up to meet you’

We took advantage of the sunny Spring weather and went to St. Catherine’s park in Lucan. We had a great time soaking up the rays and playing with friends.

Tomorrow 2nd March is World Book day!!

Children will be starting the day off nicely with  Breakfast club – children can bring in some nice breakfast items to share with class as they read their favourite books.

Children are encouraged to come in as their favourite book character. 

Plenty of excitement around the school on Tuesday 28th February as many classes made and ate their own pancakes. For Catholics Shrove Tuesday, often called Pancake Tuesday, is the feast day and official start of Lent, (the 40 days before Easter). It is a time of fasting and people often try give up something during this time or try to improve themselves some how during this time.
