To mark Biodiversity day our junior infant classes went on a minibeast hunt. They had so much fun exploring and searching for minibeasts! The girls observed and gathered lots of minibeasts in containers and recorded their findings.

Junior and Senior Infants are busy exploring the theme of “Transport and Travel” in Aistear so two special visitors came to visit them to tell them all about airplanes and flying.  Brendan (Mrs. Howard’s brother) is a pilot and Michelle (Sophie’s mammy) is an air hostess.  They both work for Aer Lingus and they wore their uniforms to show the girls.  Brendan and Michelle told the girls all about the jobs they do.  Brendan showed the girls photos and videos of different airplanes.  Some of these photos were taken from inside the cockpit.  Michelle talked about the safety instructions she gives to passengers on the plane and showed the girls how a life jacket works.   The girls were extremely excited about the experience.   Both Michelle and Brendan answered so many questions the girls had about flying……..they are definitely experts now!

5th class girls designed Biodiversity Books to read to our Junior Infants for our Green Schools Action Day. They researched fun facts, created awesome activities and cute colouring pages.

Our two 4th classes recently enjoyed a trip to Causey Farm. The girls got stuck in (quite literally!) to bog life. Everyone was very tired after a very active day!

Both third classes have been working hard at their French projects in May and today they had French Day to celebrate their hard work. As well as learning about the Geography of France, they have baked French products, learned French phases and made up songs about France. Thank you to parents for supporting their daughter in her project! Allez les bleus!

On Thursday the 4th of May Ms Regan's fifth class went on the Do Dublin Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour. 

Zoe's dad Maurice drove the open top double decker bus. Along the way he told us the history of the tourist sights as we went by. He also sang a few Irish songs, like Molly Malone and O ro se do bheatha abhaile. He told some funny jokes and stories too! Some of the Dublin sights we saw were The Spire, the GPO, Trinity College, Kilmainham Gaol, The Guinness Storehouse and the Phoenix Park. 

Along the tour we stopped off on Dame street and got a bag of chips from Beshoffs. At the end of the tour we got to pick our favourite ingredients to make our own chocolate bar in Coco Bo. We all had a brilliant day and learned a lot about the history of Dublin. We would recommend the bus tour to everyone!

We would like to say a big thank you to Maurice Dalton for going to so much effort to make the day so enjoyable for us!
