Following advice from the NCSE visiting teacher service the ATP (Action Team Partnership) painted the posts in the playgrounds so the students can see them easily. Thank you to J.P., Debbie, Leona, Catherine, Florence, Elaine, Éilis and Ben who volunteered and did a fantastic job.

Gold Class is very excited to have live caterpillars at school. As part of our growing theme we are learning about new life in SPHE. We have been learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly and our live caterpillars help us watch this change of life. We are excited to see our catterpillars make their cocoon soon and then turn into bufferflies. 

It was great to see the variety of socks on display today for #downsyndromeday #lotsofsocks23 well done to everyone who took part.

We celebrated World Book Day in school today.  Both staff and students made stories come alive dressing up as characters from loved books. Favourite books were brought from home and shared in class. This was a fantastic day that celebrated books and encouraged reading. Be sure to take a look at our social media pages. #worldbookday2023

We had a great time on Friday when the Gardai came to talk to us about Road Safety. We got to dress up in their new uniforms, sit in their car and test out some of their gadgets. They also reminded us how important it is to wear our seat belts at all times and to be careful when we are crossing the road! Thanks for coming to visit!

We finished our Colour Theme this week. We worked our way through the rainbow, exploring colour in many different ways and having fun with lots of messy activities. We made a colour arc each week and built a beautiful rainbow collage.
Next week it’s all about green fingers as we begin our theme of Growing. 

Great work done in St.  Cecilia’s this week making posters for our #BigTravelChallenge Starting on Monday we will be starting our moving 20k in 10 days challenge #20kin10days

White class made great use of reusing and upcycling old bottles into bird feeders and hung them in our playground to feed any flying visitors we might have to our yard #GreenSchools #ReduceReuseRecycle

Our Amber Flag Committee organised friendship week. We had a great time helping our friends and sharing things we like with others. Even the rugby result couldn’t come between us!!

Gold Class has been enjoying exploring books. We explore books in our class library and we really enjoy going to our new school library. There are lots of books to look at in the library, we like to relax with a book and read.  We also have fun writing and building with lego’s.
