10 at 10 for Operation Transformation

Today we had great fun celebrating '10 at 10' for Operation Transformation! All of the children in the school took part in activities such as hip-hop dancing, skipping, jogging, soccer, Irish dancing and lots of other fun exercises! We spent our 10 minutes exercising in the Jungle Gym! Look at all of the energy we used and the fun we had! We were very sweaty and hot after and we were very happy too!

Our School Inclusion Tree

We have worked hard this year and last year in our school, towards achieving the Yellow Flag for inclusion in our school. Everyone in our school is unique and different and come from various backgrounds, but we know that everyone is included and our differences are accepted and celebrated! This is our school Inclusion tree that symbolises that uniqueness and celebrates our individuality! All of the children in our school stamped their fingerprint on the tree to make the leaves!

Our Indoor Forest Garden

Múinteoir Karmel and Múinteoir Damien have been working really hard in our school to make a beautiful indoor forest garden for all the children and grown-up's to enjoy! They have added some beautiful flowers, trees, plants and other living things to our garden. We can use of our senses to experience and enjoy the garden, from listening to the beautiful outdoor sounds like singing birds and gushing water, to smelling the blossoming spring flowers, to looking at the budding trees and plants around the garden. We love our school garden so much and some of us have even brought some things from nature to add to our garden! We can't wait to see the garden as it changes during the spring season!

Grandparents' Day 2017

On Wednesday, we had some very special visitors in our classroom! Our lovely grandparents came in to visit our classroom and to share their expereiences of life when they were younger with all of us. We learnt all about what life was like for our granny's and grandad's when they were our age and all about how school was so different back then! We found out so much information about life long ago in Ireland and in Poland and we had lots of questions for our grandparents, who had very interesting answers! We love our grandparents very much and we are so happy that they came to visit us in our classroom!

Operation Transformation Walk 2017

We had a very exciting start to our week this week! On Monday, all of the boys and girls from our school and from Merlin College joined together to take on a walking challenge! Some of our mums, dads, grandparents, sisters and brothers joined us too and shortly after 9.00, over 800 of us took off walking around the park in our local area! We had great fun warming up in our basketball court first and got a great kick out of exercising in our local area!
