We created our own Stone Age Paintings using charcoal, twigs, leaves and natural materials.

The chess club continues each Thursday after school and all players are showing great improvement.

Well done to 5th class pupils Patricia Gallagher and Sinéad O’Reilly who competed at the Co Wexford Primary Schools Chess Competition in New Ross on Jan 23. Sinéad came away with 5 out of 7 possible points to place joint third U-12, while Patricia, having come up against some tough opponents, took 2 1/2 points. Well done to both, they represented the school very well indeed.

Well done boys and girls on your fantastic perfomance of ‘The Donkey Seller’.

We love to go outside when the weather is good to play on our fabulous new play equipment.

After a great day of learning there is nothing better!

Watch us climb, swing and slide below!

We jumped straight into 2016 by doing circuits for PE. It was great fun!

Before the holidays we did a Write a Book project in our class. We wrote and illustrated our own version of The Christmas Story and then we read our stories to the 1st Class pupils in Room 7A. They loved them. We will definitely do it again.

We took part in the Choir and Recorder recital. We did a mini Class Talent Show which was so much fun that we decided to do it again later on in the year.

We also did some beautiful Christmas art which was all made using recycled materials.

We have made some New Year’s Resolutions which we called “Hopes & Dreams for 2016” and we have displayed then on our Class Tree. Tune in next time for a photo!
