Engineers Week

Junior Infants visit to Imaginosity


The children went on their first school outing to Imaginosity as part of Engineer’s week. Everyone really enjoyed the trip!


4th Class at ESB Science Blast in the RDS


On Wednesday 4th class went to the ESB Science Blast in the RDS as part of Engineers week. This is a national event to promote STEM at primary level. The children entered their project “how can you design a mode of transport that uses our Irish windy weather?”. The judges were very impressed with their research, knowledge, teamwork and problem-solving skills.



SciFest science workshops


As part of Engineers Week, we had great fun designing and building fan powered cars yesterday! Students had to identify factors which improved the speed and performance of the cars before testing them! Well done to all our very focused scientists.

World Book Day

Every class enjoyed a trip to our fabulous new library! Thank you so much to the hard-working library team who had it looking beautiful for today.



ALC blue have been reading ‘green eggs and ham’ by Dr Seuss. We wrote out the recipe and made delicious green eggs and ham for book day. We’re getting great at cracking eggs! Yummy.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

The children are announcing the “Frása on Lae” each day over the intercom.
