All classes were given a talk online by Ciara Brady from the Road Safety Authority. The children were provided with an understanding of the importance of road safety through a series of fun interactive resources and in an age-appropriate way. The focus was on road safety issues relevant to the children and to the community in which they live. Topics covered were walking,  cycling, travel by public transport,  being a passenger,  urban rural transport issues and the practicing of safe road behaviour in general.

We have been having great fun exploring the world of theatre over the past few weeks. We set up our own theatre in the role-play corner where we sold and stamped tickets for the upcoming shows. We were very busy setting up seating for the audience and getting snacks ready for the interval. We created our own puppet theatre and made stick and finger puppets in art. We explored lots of our favourite fairytales and discussed the qualities of the different characters we met. One of our favourite activities was using light to make shadow puppets. That was really fun!

​Dan is always a welcome visitor to our school, but when he arrived at school today to surprise the children with the Anglo-Celt Cup it was extra special. Thank you, Dan!

We tested things from our classroom to see if they would float or sink. We had great fun predicting which ones would float and which would sink. Some were hard to predict and there were a few surprises as well. We love getting outside when the weather is warm and we were able to make as much mess as we wanted.

​The Senior Room listened to an interview with Rachael Blackmore the Grand National Winning Jockey and history maker. Rachael made history by becoming the first ever woman to win the Aintree Grand National (2021) on Minella Times and Cheltenham champion jockey 2021. The interview was very inspirational as Rachael discussed her story,  what inspired her and how she handled failure and much much more.
