Reminder:

Due to the prevalence of other non-COVID related illnesses such as RSV, the HSE has recommended that children remain at home until they are 48hrs symptom free regardless of a COVID negative test if they have respiratory symptoms. Staying home if you are sick is the best way of keeping our school safe.

Science Week

Junior Infants

Junior infants explored how food colouring on sweets dissolves in warm water. We had great fun guessing what would happen and recording the results

4th Class Work

We explored which pillar shape was the strongest – cuboid, triangular prism or cylinder. We discovered that the cylinder is the strongest and that’s why the Romans used it in their column designs!

World Kindness Day on Sunday

World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. Happy World Kindness Day!
