The committee received their end of year certificates. The girls have done an amazing job throughout the year and have really spread our Green Schools message throughout the whole community.

The girls visited the local tennis courts for a fun and active lesson with Gary. They learned a variety of new skills and thoroughly enjoyed their time on the court.

Father Bill kindly invited Second Class to the Community Centre for a special screening of the film Dogman. The girls were delighted with their cinema outing and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Second Class enjoyed a visit to the Rathangan Library, where they explored a wide range of books and had the pleasure of meeting the local librarian, Jennifer. The Summer Stars Programme will be running throughout the summer, and we highly encourage all children to take part in this fantastic initiative.

The girls had an unforgettable time during their visit to Explorium in Sandyford. Highlights of the day included a robotic dog show, an exciting lightning demonstration, and hands-on science experiments. They tested their strength by generating electricity through movement, explored fascinating optical illusions, and visited the animal section, where they used their senses to identify different animals.

The girls had an incredible time at our annual Sports Day. They enthusiastically participated in a mix of team sports and individual challenges, including races, rounders, hockey, dodgeball, and a variety of other fun activities.

The girls have been actively exploring the history of the Titanic. Taking on the role of historians, they investigated time capsules from the ship and examined passenger logs, menus, and historical photographs. They then shared their discoveries with the class through presentations.

To celebrate the fantastic improvement in attendance and punctuality, the whole school was treated to a well-deserved Pyjama Day! Just before the Easter break, the girls enjoyed being comfy and cosy in their pjs. Our class put in an incredible effort during the attendance drive and earned some extra playtime as a special reward for their dedication to ‘be in the line at ten to nine!’.

Second Class enjoyed a fantastic planting workshop with Paddy Madden, who shared his incredible knowledge with the class. He taught the girls how to carefully thin their beetroot seedlings without harming the plants, and demonstrated how to measure spacing between plants using a dibber tool and string. The class is buzzing with excitement for harvest season and can’t wait to watch their garden grow over the coming months. They planted beetroot, spring onions, potatoes, and strawberries in their class bed.

We’re gearing up for our workshop with Paddy Madden. This year, Second Class planted beetroot, spring onions, and strawberries, and we’re excited to harvest them in June, just before the summer holidays.
