This year was the first year we entered a Cross Country team. We had some great days out and had some fantastic results. The finals day will be held on May 14th at Corcagh Park.
Ms Ní Dhúill’s Paired Writing Project
Mrs Walsh’s 3rd class and Mr Coleman’s 5th class worked together over a period of 7 weeks. Both classes were partnered with each other and learned about adjectives, narrative writing, use of IPads for writing stories which allowed children to write, add images and record their own voices to their stories. On the final Thursday of our work together, each pairing presented their excellent stories. Well done to all involved and Ms Ní Dhúill for organising all resources and activities for us.

Enrichment Club
Our 6th class Enrichment Club had their last group meeting on Thursday 26th March. Over the past few weeks we; designed shock absorbers, completed brain challenges, created Scratch computer coding, made super aerodynamic paper airplanes and did lots of other cool and interesting activities!
Ms Walsh and Mr Byrne would like to thank all those who took part for their time and efforts. In June we will be going on an educational trip to a large company to see first hand how a big business operates!
Here we are with our certificates from Enrichment Club! Happy Easter to everyone.
Well done! To the Winners of the Report and Explanation Writing!

Scoil Talbot Book Fair March 5th – 10th
Our Book Fair will arrive on Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, March 5th, it’s WORLD BOOK DAY, and children and family members can come in and look at the books and other items for sale in the Book Fair. You can buy books and items on Friday, Monday and Tuesday. It is a great chance to get books at good prices and I have €1.50 book tokens for every child in the school. And remember, 60% of all money spent comes back to the school in free books. We’re always updating our library with new books, for your reading pleasure.
We are running a competition also for our book fair : Just write a short review of a book you have read recently, and there will be a FREE BOOK VOUCHER for 5 winners (one winner from 3rd/4th/5th/6th and one overall winner).
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Book Fair – Get reviewing!!!
Robot Wars!
Mr Byrne’s class have been creating their own robots lately as part of Engineer’s Week.
Using old boxes, packaging, bottles; anything really from the recycle bin at home! We also incorporated electrical circuits into our designs. We will be announcing a winner shortly. Each robot was made by a team of 3-4 members over the last 3 weeks during our art and science classes.
