Energy Fun Centre

Today we went on our school tour to Energy Fun Centre in Rathcoole - and what a day it was! the sun was shining as we set off on the bus. We arrived at 10.30 and had a quick packet of crisps before we went in. The centre had plenty of amazing things for us to do: a climbing wall, a football pitch, lots of levels for us to explore, slides, wobbly bridges and much more. After about an hour and a half of exploring, we needed a break so we stopped for a lunch of nuggets, sausages and chips, and a well-needed drink. Then it was back out for more exploring! When it was eventually time to go home we were hot and a little worn out, but delighted with our day. There was just time for a goodie bag before we got back on the bus and headed back to school.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Orienteering

We have been doing some great work over the last couple of weeks on the Orienteering and Outdoor Adventure strand of PE. We have been making a map of our classroom, following trails from maps around a course, and today we were using photos to help us find some cards hidden around the yard. We then had to fill in a symbol on a control card every time we found a card. There were four groups, we worked very well together and had great fun doing it too!

 
 

 

 

Carwash

Last Friday the school held a carwash in Apple Green garage to raise funds for the school and some charities. Each class spent some time up at the garage washing cars and although it was a little cold, we all had a great time, as you can see from these photos!

 

 

 

 

 

First Holy Communion

Saturday the 17th of May was a very special day in the lives of the boys and girls in Second Class. It was the day that they received Holy Communion for the very first time. They had spent a lot of time practicing and preparing in the weeks coming up to the ceremony, and all their hard work paid off on the day. Everybody agreed they looked fantastic and they were a credit to their mams and dads the way they made the ceremony so special.

 
 
 

 

 

 

Mr Kennedy would like to say a big thank you to everybody who helped make the day so special, the parents, teachers, Rosie, Carmel and Fr Mattie, the SNAs, and most of all, the children. And thank you to the parents for your very thoughtful gift also! It was very much appreciated.

 

 



School tour

Dear parents,

On Thursday the 12^th of June, Second and Third class will be going on their school tour to Energy Fun Centre in Rathcoole. A coach will take the children to and from the venue and the tour will take place within school hours, so children can be dropped and collected at the usual times. Children can wear their own clothes and do not need to bring a lunch with them, as it will be provided. The cost of the trip is €20, and this includes the cost of the coach, a meal in the venue, and a small goodie bag. The money for this tour should be in to me by Friday, the 6^th of June. If this is an issue please come and see me before or after school.

Regards,

Mr Kennedy
