Well done to all teachers and students for all your hard work this year! Have a wonderful summer!

Well done to Mrs Delany’s Fourth Class for the amazing display of all of their knitting creations today. From very, very humble beginnings, the girls have excelled throughout the year, always striving for new heights which culminated today, in this fantastic exhibition of their creative talents.

Dogs Trust paid a visit to 4th class. Audrey brought her little kings Charles Lucy into the class. She taught the girls all about how to look after a dog and what one must consider before they buying one. She explained to the girls that dogs need a lot of love and affection. She also showed them what a real microchip looks like and how they work. She explained how important they are especially if your dog goes missing. She gave the girls lovely work sheets, stickers and magnets. The girls loved having Audrey and Lucy in for a visit. They asked lots of super questions and it was a great learning experience for the girls.  We hope they come in for a visit again next year.

Mrs Delany’s Fourth Class had a wonderful day out to Top Oil at East Point Business Park on Thursday last. Firstly, we were picked up at the school and driven to Dublin Port where we got to see the largest oil storage tanker which is owned by Top Oil. It holds 26 million litres of oil and is 46 metres in diameter. That’s almost the length of Westwood swimming pool! Then we went to see the oil tankers being offloaded at the jetty. 

Next Louise (our JA leader) took us to visit the Top Oil offices at East Point. We all got to ‘drive’ the oil truck. Then we went inside and met everyone in the office and saw where Louise works everyday. We even got to sit in the Board Room. It was great fun. We loved meeting all of the different people that we have learned about in the programme. In fact, we would have quite happily have fired them on the spot and stepped into their shoes!!

Finally, Louise had arranged a little party for us in the office canteen. We also had the presentation of our Junior Achievement certificates and goodie bags. It was a fantastic experience all round. 

Míle buíochas to everyone who helped to make it such a great day out for us but most especially to Louise who made Junior Achievement a most memorable experience for us all in Room 9.

The 6th classes went to Kippure Estate in Wicklow to do Bushcrafting- outdoor survival skills! They learned to build a shelter, build and start a fire and cook their food! Despite the rain it was a great day!
