Congratulations to all the students from sixth class on their primary school graduation. Despite unusual circumstances it was a very special day for the students, their families and their teachers. A special congratulations to Daniils, Harash and Samuel on winning the highly esteemed endeavour awards for their hard work throughout their time in St. Ronan's. We wish all our graduating students all the best as they continue their educational journey to secondary school. Sixth Class recently participated in a Dragon's Den project as part of Junior Achievement Ireland. They visited the Johnson & Johnson offices in Tallaght where they pitched business ideas to members of the senior management team. A fun and enjoyable day was had by all! Music Generation were filming in our school on Thursday the 31st of January for their website. They observed violin and orchestra practices and interviewed staff and students about their experience with music. St. Ronan's school orchestra performed a medley of Christmas tunes as well as some pieces they have been working on. Children from sixth class wrote and produced their own Christmas play. There were many interesting celebrity characters, great sound effects and fantastic set design. Children from other classes attended performances of this very successful production. From Star Readers to Star Writers The sixth class students had a very busy term working on a short story to publish into a book. Kathryn Crowley from Emu courses online came in and told us about our journey towards writing a book. We first planned what we were going to write about in our copies, then we showed our teachers. The teachers played a big part in this, helping us edit and make sure our ideas flowed together. They also gave us good ideas if we were unable to think of something. We were all able to work at home as well as at school with google classroom, which was great. It took us four weeks from writing to editing to the final story. In the end it was an amazing experience, being able to write a book with all my friends in Sixth Class has made this something I will treasure forever. By Tyra Kane Sixth Class Sixth class had a great time during Science Week creating a place to live on a new planet. They used recycled materials from Recreate. Thank you to The Gaiety School of Acting for running the workshop. The children had a fantastic time completing St. Ronan's first Monster Mile Plus challenge in their Hallowe'en costumes. |
