Huge thanks to Pat, Shauna and Stephen for organizing. Everyone had a great time… especially the children in Múinteoir Micheál’s 5th class who won the competition!

Class Shout Out - Múinteoir Mairead's 1st Class

The boys and girls in Múinteoir Mairead’s 1st Class are delighted to be part of our ‘Class Shout Out’. They have been so busy, and have lots of fun things to share..

Science Eggsperiment

We did a science experiment (or as the boys and girls called it an 'Eggs'periment) to see which drink was the best at keeping our teeth healthy and which was the worst drink for our teeth. The shell of an egg has similar material to our teeth. We chose 7 drinks. The eggs were left in each drink for just under 2 days. As you can see the results speak for themselves. We discussed our findings and how we can take care of our teeth by brushing them in the morning and at night and choosing healthy drinks instead.

Eating a Rainbow

Taste testing a variety of fruits, was great fun, especially as some were for the first time. The boys and girls discussed how eating lots of fruits and vegetables are one of things that keep our bodies healthy 💪🏻 We enjoyed smoothies with the left over fruit too.

The boys and girls also had great fun collecting data about some of the most popular types of transport in the Cherry Orchard area.

PJ Day in Aid of Peter Mc Verry Trust

Hi Everyone,

As you know we have been very busy learning about ‘Healthy Sleep Routines’ this week in school. Some classes have focused on

  • Healthy Sleep Habits

  • Importance of Sleep

  • Calming Activities

  • Using a Sleep Diary

  • Learning about Sleep Cycles

Today was PJ day, and we have had a great turn-out. In addition the boys and girls chose to use this non-uniform day to fundraise for a very worthy cause - The Peter Mc Verry Trust. We will let you know the total raised as soon as all donations are counted. Have a look at the video to see what some of our classes got up to in their PJs today.
