The girls have been busy learning all about our digestive system, exploring the different stages involved in how our bodies break down food. To bring the learning to life, we carried out an experiment to demonstrate how the acid in our stomach works to break down what we eat. After studying the digestive system in detail, the girls worked creatively with recyclable materials to construct a display showcasing their understanding. Their final projects are still in progress and we can’t wait to see the finished results!

At the start of the year, our class took part in some fun STEM activities designed to build teamwork and trust. Our first challenge involved stacking cups, where children had to work together and communicate clearly to build a cup pyramid using only one string each. We also took on the tricky task of “Saving Fred,” using just paperclips to rescue him from the water. It was amazing to see the problem-solving, discussions and laughter throughout the activities.

Our Under 11’s football team kicked off their league in style with a fantastic win in their very first game! The girls worked brilliantly together, encouraged one another and never gave up, showing great teamwork and determination. The excitement on the day was truly infectious. A massive well done to the team and best of luck in all the games ahead!

5th and 6th Class are very lucky to get the opportunity to learn a new instrument this year. We welcomed William from Kildare Music Generation into our classroom for the start of our ukulele lessons. William will be working with us throughout the year, teaching us how to play this exciting new instrument. It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn new skills, enjoy music together and challenge ourselves in a fun way. We are all really excited about this experience and can’t wait to showcase our ukulele playing at the end of the year!

On Tuesday, 23rd September, we celebrated National Fitness Day by taking part in energetic circuits with Ms. Coughlan’s 6th Class. The activities were a great way to remind us how important it is to stay active every day and to see how even a small bit of exercise can make a big difference to our health and wellbeing. Everyone worked hard, encouraged each other and had plenty of fun along the way. Have a look at some moments we captured during the circuits!

We are so excited for the year ahead! Keep your eye out for all the fun events and activities we will engage in throughout the year.
