We are so proud of Callum Dempsey who recently received an award from South Dublin County Council. Callum joined the school cross country running team this year and he has gone on to win the incredible award for Paralympic Champion 2018. Well done Callum and keep up the hard work!   Thanks to all the children in the choir for their beautiful singing at the confirmation and during the year. As a treat the children were brought to the village for a visit to the Round Tower Centre, McDonalds and the playground! Fifth class have enjoyed their school tour recently as well as a trip to the Irish Aid offices. We also got to harvest potatoes from the school garden. Here is a selection of photographs to show you everything we've been up to lately! Our hillwalking club went to Glendalough for the final walk of this school year. A group of 15 children and 5 teachers completed a tough walking trail, hiking above the lakes on a glorious sunny day. The views and scenery were amazing and the group had a fabulous evening.  Fifth class children enjoying cricket training and trampoline aerobics. Children in room 15 having a great day participating in Sport’s Day activities. Third class children recently participated in a Road Safety Day where they taught their parents all about how to cross the road safely. The children then worked with their parents to create a poster showing the different ways to cross a road safely. It was a great day! Thanks to all the parents for their support. As part of the Bí Gnothach project run by the Enterprise office in SDCC the fifth class students set up and ran their own business. They began this process by gathering, collating and examining market research. Following this they advertised and created their products and brand. They were very keen to keep their business as green as possible and used recycled materials and fair trade products. They held a very successful fair day which was enjoyed by all staff and students. The customers enjoyed fresh home-made lemonade and other food treats as they made their own slime, decorated biscuits, designed origami pieces and had a turn at the fair games. The classes raised €701 which they will be donating to the school table tennis club. The students wish to thank all the customers that supported their business. As part of horse awareness week the children from fifth and sixth class attended an information workshop in the hall. There were representatives from DSPCA, Clondalkin Equine Centre, Race Academy, Dunsink Horse Club and a vet from UCD. The workshop covered how to look after a horse and lots of other information which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Some students have been attending Clondalkin Equine Centre as a result. |
