Seachtain na Gaeilge
We had a super day last Friday, celebrating Seachtain na Gaeilge and St Patrick's Day at our 'Céilí Mór'. Well done to all of the children who sang and danced so well, and to Sean Gallagher, Michelle Roche, Páid Sadlier and Claire Murphy from our staff team who shared their talents with us too.
Taskmasters - The Final!
Congratulations to Kacper, Ryan, TJ and Zlata from 4th Class who took part in the 'Taskmasters' Final yesterday at Kings' Inn Law Society. All of the children in 4th Class have been working with volunteers from the Law Society over the last few months and one group were selected to present their project. They came 2nd out of all of the schools who were there and we are so proud of them! They spoke to confidently and with such passion.
Workday Donation
Thank you to Workday who have donated 10 laptops to the school. Ms Brophy attended a special event to receive our laptops and say thank you from all of us.
Workplace Visit - Time to Read / Time to Count
Well done to 2nd and 3rd Class who went to visit their volunteers from the 'Time to Read' and 'Time to Count' programmes at their offices in Bank of Ireland this week. The children had a wonderful time - and got lots of treats!
