Our polar animals felt right at home in the snow when they visited the school recently. The children were learning about the Arctic, the Inuit people and their way of life. They braved the cold to investigate how the polar bears blubber keeps him warm in the freezing Arctic waters. 

The recent winter weather caused great excitement in the school. The children enjoyed playing in the snow and used the ice for their winter science experiments.

We recently celebrated Catholic Schools' Week in the school. This years theme is Families of Faith in preparation for the World Meeting of Families taking place in Dublin in August. 
To conclude the week, Fr. Comiskey celebrated Mass in the school to celebrate Grandparents Day. Grandparents play a very special role in our lives. They teach us how to love and to share. They teach us about the past and about the beauty of God's creation.
We were delighted to welcome the many parents and grandparents who attended.
The Mass was followed with a cup of tea and each family was presented with the official Family Prayer for the World Meeting of Families 2018.
Well done to all the children who participated in the readings, choir and tin-whistle playing. It was a most enjoyable occasion for the whole school community.
