A Month to Remember:

Our First Month Back at School

Hello everyone!

We can’t believe it’s already been a month since we returned to school. Time really does fly when you’re having fun, and our sixth class has been having a blast. There have been so many exciting changes and events that we just had to share them with you.

A Change of Scenery One of the biggest highlights of this month was our temporary relocation to the Scout and Guides building. We’ve turned this new space into our home away from home, and it’s been amazing to see how creative we can be in a different environment. The spacious hall has become the backdrop for our adventures in learning, and we’re making the most of every moment.

¡Hola! Spanish is Back We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve brought Spanish back into our curriculum. Learning a new language is always a fantastic journey, and we can’t wait to expand our horizons and connect with people from different cultures with the help of our amazing teacher Montse. ¡Vamos a aprender juntos! (Let’s learn together!)

Checkmate! Chess Class Our sixth class are becoming chess masters. It’s been incredible to watch them develop their strategic thinking skills while having fun with this classic game. Who knows? We might have a future grandmaster among us! They have also been showing third class how to play and some handy moves to know for the upcoming chess competition.

The Final Year in Our School As we embark on this journey, we’re also aware that this is our final year at this wonderful school. It’s a bittersweet feeling, but we’re determined to make every day count, create lasting memories, and support each other as we prepare for the next chapter in our lives.

We’re excited about what the future holds and grateful for the incredible start we’ve had in our first month back to school. Stay tuned for more adventures and updates from our sixth class. Until next time, remember to always embrace change, challenge yourself, and cherish every moment.

With enthusiasm,

Mr. Murphy

And we are back! Happy New School Year 2024 2025

Welcome back everyone to a new school year. 2024 -2025 has kicked off with gusto. We have welcomed back all of our pupils alongside thirty new pupils within our school community.

We are delighted to have completed all elements of our modular build and all ground works have been reinstated and completed over the summer. Our hot meals are back up and running and both Sunny Days and Discovery Drama have returned too.

We are so excited to see what 2024 2025 has in store for us. Rackard leauge is kicking off already, new school jersey designs are in motion, Sing out Loud packs for 5th and 6th class have landed, first assemblies have taken place and there is so much more to come!

We also welcome some new members to our team, Emma our new bus escort, Becky on our SNA team and Mr Furlong on our teaching team!

See you soon with more update,

Ms. Walsh

Greetings everyone and welcome back to the school year 2023 2024!

We have so much to look forward this year and the weeks are flying by already.

Settling back in is almost a thing of the past and we are moving quickly into much loved events such as Maths Week, Freaky Friday, Jersey Day, Science Week and so much more.

We are waiting anxiously for the new arrival of our Modular build so I will use this blog space to document the progress with photographs…..It will literally be a case of watch this space!

As always, if you have any concerns or ideas (we love new ideas!) that you wish to share don’t hesitate to contact us!

I hope to be back soon with a site update! Some things are worth waiting for!

Ms. Walsh

And on the 10th October 2023, our journey towards our first modular build begins.

There was great excitement from both staff and children as fencing was moved into place! The children cannot wait to see what vehicle/machinery/ materials arrive. It is going to be an exciting few weeks and I plan to document it with photographs on this page!

In typical Irish autumn weather, the work was rained off for 11th October. But ABM were at it bright and early on the 12th of October and much to the delight of the children (and staff) some big machinery moved in. ABM were not letting the grass grow under their feet, in fact in jig time they were digging it up!

Friday 13th started off with more rain. Ms. Walsh was following up on the safety checks too given the superstitions associated with the date! But the rain cleared up and progress continued with the arrival of the cement mixer and the plan to pour some foundations! A great few days of progress has taken place after a long wait. The children are thoroughly enjoying seeing the next part of our school grow before their very own eyes. Dare I say, I think we may have some budding builders, engineers, digger drivers and architects in the mix! Rumour has it the BIG CRANES are due to land in the coming week ….watch this space!

Within a week, the work was literally groundbreaking and on Thursday 19th October this happened…..
