Room 14 Fifth Class: School Tour Friday 21st June 2019

Fifth Class had a great time on their school tour today. We went to the GPO Experience at the General Post Office, O Connell Street Dublin 1 firstly. This was the headquarters of the 1916 Easter Rising. A special thanks to Alex, our tour guide for the day. After a brief lunch on the rooftop terrace of the GPO, we walked 1,400 metres from the GPO to the famous Viking museum, Dublinia where Ian brought us back to this majestic era! Over the course of Fifth Class, we had completed much research, project work and inquiry into the 1916 Easter Rising and the Viking Era in Ireland. This very much complemented and built upon our knowledge. A very very special thank you to Ciara, Seja, Anna and Ms. Glynn for their company. It was greatly appreciated. Pat, our bus driver also deserves a shout out! Thank you Pat. Please see photos...

CSCNS Sports Day 2018!

What a fantastic sports day we had at CSCNS this year! Running, crawling, hopping, skipping, dancing, bouncing, throwing, catching, orienteering – you name it, the boys and girls at CSCNS can do it, with great skill and a smile on their faces! Some children were awarded with special medals for demonstrating particular effort, skill and talent – huge congrats to these winners!  Absolutely ALL of the children should feel proud of themselves however for taking part, being active and healthy, and showing a great sense of sportsmanship at their sports day this year. Many thanks to all of the teachers and parents who helped to co-ordinate and facilitate the day, and special thanks to Ms Bates for overseeing it all and ensuring it was a great success!

Junior Infants Room 2: Learning Adventures!

Room 2 love having visitors, and going on adventures! They have been particularly lucky over the last term, and have learnt so much from a number of special visitors, including their very own grandparents. The grandparents came and told them all about what school was like when they grew up. They did a wonderful job of answering the children’s questions, and even read them a number of stories.  Huge thanks to the grandparents for coming in!   The next visitor to Room 2 was the lovely Ms Rojak, who came to help the children learn lots in school. She even took them on a 3D shape hunt. What 3D shapes did they find around the school? Thanks for helping us learn Ms Rojak!        The next visitor the children had was small, woolly, and a bit shy… can you guess what it was? A Spring lamb! They each had a turn to pet the baby lamb, and ask its owner about it. Many thanks to Care and Cuddles for bringing it in to show us.   Next, as part of their learning the Room 2 super stars took a trip to the local café Insomnia as part of human rights month, to learn all about fair trade. Many thanks to the café manager Elizabeth, and to the mums and dads who accompanied us. Room 2 would also like to say a special thanks to Múinteoir Aoife, from Music Generation, for coming to teach them music this year. They loved learning all the wonderful songs and music games she taught them, and especially loved using her percussion instruments and...

Junior Infants: Summer Nature Walk

Summer is finally here and the Junior Infants have been learning all about the summer season through their five senses- sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste. To celebrate their learning, they went on a nature hunt to the local park to look out for all the signs of summer. They completed a ‘signs of summer’ check list, played parachute games with their friends, and chilled out in the playground afterwards. Summer sure is fun! Can you see spot the signs of summer in their...
