This week we had a visit from two woolly friends - two baby lambs. We got to pet them, hold them and feed them their bottles. Thank you to Bobby for bringing in his two new pets for a visit!

Junior Infants recently enjoyed a lovely spring walk to Shannow Woods. The children set off on a special Spring Hunt, keeping their eyes open for signs of spring all around them. Using their checklists, they searched for different spring items and carefully ticked them off as they spotted them — from colourful flowers and fresh green leaves to birds and other signs of new life. There was great excitement as each new discovery was made, and the pupils showed fantastic observation skills and teamwork throughout the walk. It was a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fresh air, explore nature, ...

Our After-School Art Club children have been busy working away over the past few weeks, enjoying lots of creative fun together! The pupils have created beautiful arts and crafts based on Mother’s Day, springtime, and Seachtain na Gaeilge. From colourful spring artwork to thoughtful handmade gifts and Irish-themed creations, the children showed great imagination and pride in their work. It has been lovely to see everyone trying new ideas, supporting one another, and expressing their creativity each week. The art room has been full of colour, chat, and smiles, and we are very proud of all...

Our Junior Infants have been learning about solids and liquids in Science. To explore how materials can change, we made Rice Krispie buns. First, we looked at the chocolate, which was a solid. When we heated it, we watched it melt and turn into a liquid. We mixed the melted chocolate with Rice Krispies and spooned the mixture into bun cases. After cooling, the chocolate turned solid again. A fun (and tasty!) way to see science in action!

We are so proud of our 5th and 6th class girls who headed to the Young Scientists Exhibition last Friday. The presented their experiment ''Super Soil Showdown'. They received a plaque for their school and a certificate each for their hard work. Well done girls!
