Mr. Bannon’s and Ms. Skelly’s classes travelled to Red Rua Exhibition Centre in Tallaght for an engineering workshop by students from IT Tallaght and local engineering businesses, like Xilinx. There were lots of experiments and demonstrations and the pupils had great fun learning all about engineering.
Our Book Fair has arrived and we would love if you can attend. Parents can then come and buy books on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th from 9am to 10:30am. I will collect your child from their classroom when you arrive. We thank you for your support of the Book Fair – 60% of all money spent comes back to the school in free books.
Any child that writes a short book report or recommends a book they have read in the comments of this post will be entered in to a competition to win a book of their choice from the book fair (or a refund on a book they have bought already). Well done to all!
On Monday, we had Graham Mulhern from BeSecureOnline in to talk to our 5th & 6th classes about keeping themselves safe online. It is very important that parents talk to their children about online safety and the dangers of the internet. We strongly recommend that all parents should monitor their children’s internet usage and their “friends” online. We have attached a link which you can read through and help with any issues at home.
Congratulations to all our winners of awards at our February Assembly. Keep up the good work all.
