Lego Spike

Our 6th class pupils were delighted to be the first classes to test out our new LEGO Spike sets in term one. Each class had 2 introductory lessons with Ms. Joan Mannion, where they became familiar with the sets and how to input code. Over the course of the next 2 terms, the children will work in pairs or small groups on a range of projects, which will develop their team-work, coding, problem solving and critical thinking skills and will enable them to engage in STEM lessons in a playful way.

Sacrament Dates

Children in 2nd class will receive the Sacrament of First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 24th 2025 at 1pm. 

Children in 6th class will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday, March 22nd 2025 at 11am.

School Hot Lunches

Our pupils receive daily hot lunches from The Lunch Bag. Please remember to send in their lunchbox every day so that children can bring home any leftovers and please ensure your child's name is visible on the lunchbox always. Your child still needs to bring a small snack for break time and a drink. If you have any queries regarding the lunches, please email info@thelunchbag.ie and they will be happy to help.

The Lunch Bag has recently teamed up with renowned psychologist, Dr. David Coleman. Please read the leaflet below for his expert guidance on fostering healthy eating habits in children.

New Primary Mathematics Curriculum - Information for Parents

The aim of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum is that children see maths as important and useful to their everyday lives.
It is essential that parents/guardians are made aware of the changes to the curriculum that have taken place to date and what will be happening over the years to come. In this regard the Department of Education, in collaboration with the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA), the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) and the Professional Development for Teachers (PDST), has developed a leaflet which is designed to introduce these changes and encourage parent/guardians to engage in the future consultations seeking feedback on the draft curriculum areas and subjects of the new curriculum.

The leaflet is presented in many languages. Please select one to read information about the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum.
