31/08/2026 / smurphy0106

Welcome to all our students and especially our new Junior Infants starting with us this year. Its hard getting back into routine after the holidays but routine is so important for children. The repetitive nature of routine make is easier for children to become familiar with routines and the daily events at school. here are some tips for parents to help make routines easier for home and school. I have also added my contact details and an outline of events and supports for parents during the school year. Please feel free to contact me whenever you you some support, help or assistance with anything school related or if you are interested in some upskilling or some courses in our school. Many thanks

Vomiting Pumpkins in Room 2

22/10/2025 / cferguson7611

2nd class had great fun learning about chemical reactions. To prepare for our science experiment we carved out pumpkins.

We put some bread soda into the pumpkins. We then mixed vinegar and green food colouring together.

When we poured the vinegar mixture into the pumpkins the bread soda and vinegar created a chemical reaction. The pumpkins began to vomit as the green foam flowed from their mouths!

Golden Time Room 2

The children in Room 2 have been working very well since returning to school and each week they look forward to Golden Time. One of our favourite Golden Time activities so far this year has been making chocolate hats. We used just three ingredients – chocolate, marshmallows and sprinkles. They were delicious!

Another Golden Time activity was a nature walk to the ATU. We took advantage of the last of the summer sunshine and had great fun spotting signs of Autumn. We found leaves of different colours, acorns, pine cones, berries and wild mushrooms.

First & Second Class Tour

24/06/2024 / Miss Kivlehan

Last Friday, 21st of June First and Second Class went on our school tour to Five Star Fun.

We had hoped to go to Rosses Point too but unfortunately it rained all day and we could not go.

This did not stop our fun and we had great fun playing, sliding and enjoying each others company.

Thanks to Michael and all the staff in Five Star Fun for a great day.
