National Museum of Ireland Workshop

The boys and girls in Third and Fourth Class were delighted to participate in an online ‘Museum Explorers!’ workshop with the National Museum of Ireland. Diarmuid and Caragh showed us some historical artefacts and gave us a little information on how Collins Barracks was an army base for some 200 years before being renovated for use as a museum.

The Stokes Tapestry told us a little about what life was like for a soldier in the 1700s. The sporting vest worn by British Army Soldiers in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and the metal water flask belonged to a German soldier captured during the First World War. There were many more artefacts on display during the workshop! It was very interesting!

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day was a truly special occasion at our school, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. The children were thrilled to share their classrooms and activities with their grandparents, who brought such warmth and joy to the day. A huge thank you to all the parents who contributed the delicious baked goods—it was a real treat for everyone and added to the festive atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see generations coming together and celebrating the importance of family. We are so grateful for the wonderful community spirit that made the day such a success!

Christmas Wreaths

Fourth Class got into the festive spirit this week by creating beautiful Christmas wreaths to decorate their homes. Using oasis as a base, they carefully arranged holly, ivy, and greenery, finishing with a dusting of snow spray for a magical touch. The children showed fantastic creativity and focus, designing stunning centrepieces to brighten up their kitchen tables over the holidays. Well done to everyone for their hard work and festive flair!
