The boys in the Shining STARS class had a fantastic day out at the FAI Football for all blitz. This was hosted by the Cavan Sports Partnership.

3rd and 4th Class pupils have been busy developing their maths and problem-solving skills using the IZAK9 cubes. The IZAK9 cubes are a fun, hands-on resource that encourage children to work together, think creatively, and use their maths knowledge in new and exciting ways. The colourful cubes challenge pupils to solve puzzles involving number, shape, pattern, and logical reasoning — all while promoting teamwork and communication. Well done to everyone in 3rd and 4th Class for their enthusiasm and great teamwork during our IZAK9 sessions!
