FÍS Film Project

Posted on January 18, 2024 by 5th & 6th Class Posted in Blog, School News

In June 2023, 5th & 6th Class made a stop motion film using Lego. The video was about the 1916 Easter Rising. We entered our film in the FÍS Film Competition. In January 2024, we received a ‘Highly Commended’ Award in the post for our film. We were delighted to receive it and can’t wait to enter another film this year!
Have a look at our entry below!

Opening of our new extension & School Mass, 10th November 2023

Posted on November 21, 2023 by 5th & 6th Class Posted in School News

On Friday 10th November 2023, we had a Mass to celebrate the start of our school year and our new extension. Fr. Tom and Fr. Anthony came for Mass and we had practised lots of songs all week. Mr. Madden and Mr. McArdle played the guitar for us and it was very good.

After Mass, we had a special celebration for the opening of our new extension. Lots of parents came and we all gathered outside the front of the school. The Chairperson of the Board of Management, Mark MacDowall cut the red ribbon and made a speech. Mrs Whelahan, the Principal also made a speech. Then, there was tea and coffee for parents in the new classroom. There was cake and food too. All the classes got sweets, crisps and drinks in our classrooms.

We all had a great day. Here are some photos taken by Fr. Tom.

Holocaust Memorial Day

Posted on January 27, 2023 by 5th & 6th Class Posted in Blog, School Archives, School News
The Crocus Project

Holocaust Memorial Day

International Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January every year. We took part in the Crocus Project this year to remember those who died in the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was the organised murder of 6,000,000 Jewish people and hundreds of thousands of other victims, by the Nazis and their collaborators.

We planted yellow Crocuses to remember one and a half million Jewish children and thousands of other children who died in the Holocaust. The yellow colour of the flowers reminds us of the yellow Stars of David that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi rule. The flowers remind us of all of the children who perished in the Holocaust.

Our Crocuses will bloom in February.

Our New Classroom- UPDATE!!

Posted on January 6, 2023 by 5th & 6th Class Posted in Blog, School Archives, School News

Hi, we’re back with part two of the new classroom blog. The windows are in and one door is in. They have put the frame of the roof on. And they have started putting on the tiles for the roof. And they’re louder than our class. WE HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE BLOG.
