Activities
Winter Hurling League
Here are some pictures of the action in our Winter Hurling League which got up and running today.
Third/Fourth Test Their Measuring & Designing Skills
Third/Fourth class used their construction skills today to design and make paper aeroplanes ahead of competition to see whose plane could fly the furthest!
Mrs Brosnan then brought the children outside where the ‘flights’ took place. Following this the children used the measuring skills they have been honing this week during maths to measure the distance travelled by their creations. Well done to Christian whose plane flew the furthest!
Active School Flag Committee Start Planning for 2019
Our Active School Flag committee began the New Year with a meeting to start working on new initiatives for 2019. The school has been working on different elements of the Active School Flag programme since the start of the school year and now the committee will place more emphasis on break times and on planning for Active School Week.
Star Awards – December
Congratulations to our Star Award winners for December! One pupil from each classroom was selected by their class teacher and the award winners were presented with certificates at today’s assembly. They were also given a night off homework for their efforts!
An extra award, decided on by Ms O’Dwyer and Mrs. Brosnan, is presented to pupils for a particular act of kindness or to pupils who have completed an exemplary piece of work in school. Well done to the latest recipient of this award.

Second/Third class were busy right up until the holidays creating some very nice festive art!

There are plenty examples of festive writing to be seen on the walls as well.
Christmas Quiz
Pupils in Mr. Fitzgerald and Mrs. Heelan’s classes took part in a monster Christmas Quiz this morning.
Well done to the winning team who got a very impressive 60 questions out of 64 correct, pipping the second placed team to victory by one point.
3rd/4th Experiment with Coca Cola
The pupils of third & fourth class investigated the effects of Coca Cola on old coins.
The pupils documented what the coins looked like before submerging them in Coca Cola for 24 hours and then checked the results. The majority of groups noticed a big difference in the coins once they gave them a clean up once they came out of the coke.
