Washing Our Hands

After just 6 weeks of settling into life at ‘big’ school, the Junior Infants have learned many new routines. They now have the ‘all important’ routine of washing their hands, before eating their lunch, down to a fine art.

Watch below to see the Junior Infants in Room 3 busy, lathering those hands!

The Moon and Sixpence Puppet Theatre

The Moon and Sixpence Puppet Theatre came to the school today to entertain the Junior Infants, Senior Infants, 1st and 2nd classes. Their performance of Little Red Riding Hood was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The show had some important messages including the importance of recycling and the girls and boys learned a new song about picking up litter (See the video below).

A big thank you to the Parents Council who funded the show.

The Student Council Bake Sale

We had our first bake sale on Wednesday 19th February to fund raise for mirrors for all students’ bathrooms. We raised €795. That was so much more than we expected. Every class in the school got to attend. The food that was left over was donated to two charities – the Peter McVerry trust for the homeless and The Dining Room table, Newbridge. It was a huge success but this was only possible due to all that was contributed. So a huge thank you to all the students and their parents for all the delicious and professional looking baked goods. There was so much effort put into all the baking. We had a fantastic experience selling and meeting people. We had a great time and were very proud of the event. Hopefully we can do it again.

Thank you from the Student Council.

Baby Lambs Visit the School

The Junior Infants and Senior Infants were delighted this week to see four baby lambs and their two mother ewes come to visit them in the school yard.

Farmer Brian was very impressed with how good the children were and how gentle they were with the animals. He let them pet the baby lambs too, who were only three days old.

Great excitement was had by all!
