Air Resistance

In our Science lesson we designed and made parachutes. We discovered that the parachute caught the air as it was dropped.

Seán designed the winning parachute as it stayed in the air the longest. 🙂

Abbey Sheridan’s Report

Please have a read of Abbey Sheridan’s report about dogs. For some reason Abbey’s report didn’t appear in our ‘We Are Writers’ Book. We have put her great report on our website and Abbey will read it out at the next assembly. Click on the image below to read it in full!


Rainbows Outing 2013

On Wednesday, in spite of the rain, the Rainbows group went on a trip to the Phoenix Park. We had great fun. We saw Wellington’s monument, went to the playground and did a scavenger hunt around the Papal cross.
