Gospel Night!

Our First and Second Class Choir sang at the Parish Gospel Night on Thursday night.

The Dublin Gospel Choir came to the Church for a big fundraising concert. The children had a great time listening to the great singing.

When it was their turn, our choirs sang "Say to the Lord I love you" and "The Children's Band". They were fantastic and even got a standing ovation!! It was a great night and raised lots of money for the parish.

Assembly

We had a whole school assembly this morning in the Hall. We started with our Morning Prayer and then the First and Second Class Choirs sang us the songs they performed at the Gospel Night.

The tidiest classrooms were announced as Room 1, Room 7, Room 19 and Room 13.

There were then special stickers for the class for coming to school. The Super Attenders for the month of October were Room 4, Room 6, Room 18 and Room 12!

We had a special Halloween Rule this week to help us remember to be safe over Halloween - to wear reflective clothing, to keep a safe distance from bonfires and to stay with an adult.

We had four star students this week, who worked really hard in their classes - well done!

Halloween Disco

We had our Halloween Disco today. Everyone dressed up!

Junior and Senior Infants had their disco at 11 a.m. Lots of parents came to help us dance and have fun!

First and Second Class had their disco at 1 p.m. They were great dancers and loved all of the music the DJ played.

It's Hallowe'en!

We are all very excited about Hallowe'en. Every class is working hard learning Hallowe'en songs and poems, making ghosts, bats, witches and spiders!

Mrs. Dullea has made a really scary display outside her Office! The witch cackles if you make too much noise!!!

Assembly

We had our first Assembly today with the entire school community. Junior Infants came for the first time, along with Senior Infants, First Class and Second Class.

Room 6 and Room 7 sang "Mé Féin" and then taught everyone the number rhyme "Five little Monkeys" to get Maths Week started!

The tidiest classrooms were Room 3, Room 7, Room 11 and Room 13.

Our Golden Rule for this week is "We are gentle, we don't hurt others".

We had six star students this week! They were all working very hard in their classrooms this week. Well done to all of them!

National Tree Day

We celebrated National Tree Day today. It is the year of the alder tree.

First and Second Classes had a great time on their tree hunt. They had to name six trees on the hunt. Four classes got five out of six correct! Well done!
