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.  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. Mark from Xilinx teaching the children chromatography. That is CSI investigating! Finding out who is the murderer at Maggie's mansion.  (Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, SNAs, children, everyone!) We have a Secret Project and we want your help! Please knit patches in any colour you wish. We suggest 40 stitches 40 rows but any size will work. Drop them in Ms. Hassett in room 8. Thank you! Well done to the students from fifth and sixth class who took part in the Harry Potter quiz at Clondalkin Library this week. You really did us proud! On November 30th the people from Junior Achievement came to St. Ronan's and played sport with the sixth class students. Here are some photographs from that very enjoyable day Fifth and sixth class have been enjoying learning to code and have created their own computer games with the help of the Whizzkids Programme. Sixth class recently presented their inventions to the Dragons. The children had a great time during this experience! Many thanks to Xilinx, Junior Achievement and the school for this opportunity. A maths table quiz was held in the hall for all children from 3rd to 6th class.
