Ms. O’Leary’s 5th class recently visited the Museum of Literature Ireland and had a wonderful day out. 

The school choir took part in Laudate 2024 on Wednesday. This was a fantastic concert with 11 other schools from Dublin and it was run by the Dublin Diocese. The children all really enjoyed the night and they received many compliments for their enthusiasm and wonderful singing. A huge thank you to Mr. Dignam, Ms. O’Sullivan and Ms. Duggan for preparing the choir for this wonderful event. Scroll down to have a listen to some of the songs they sang!

This week, Mr. Dignam’s class conducted two interviews. The first interview was with Aoife Murray who works in aviation in Met Éireann. Met Éireann got in contact with the class when they heard about their project for the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition. Aoife told the class all about her work with Met Éireann and all about the different things she uses to measure the weather. The next interview was with Seán Doherty, an Irish composer whose music is performed all around the world. He told us all about his work and how he writes music. It was so interesting!

On Sunday the 29^th of January, our quiz teams took part in the first round of the Credit Union Quiz. It was a very successful day for the teams. In the junior category our teams placed 1st, 2^nd and 3^rd and in the senior category our teams came 1^st and 2^nd! The two teams who came 1^st in their categories now advance to the Dublin finals. Well done to everyone involved and a special thank you to Mr. Dignam for organising and leading the teams.

Ms. O’Brien’s Third Class learned about how Setanta became Cú Chulainn and designed shields for the Red Branch Knights. 

On Thursday, a group from Mr Dignam’s 4th class went to the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition to represent their class project “Can You Really Forecast the Weather?”. They had a wonderful day and got to meet lots of great people including Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth of Ireland, Roderic O’Gorman.
