3D Pen – A Learning Tool for Everyone 🙂

Today we had great fun using 3D pens. We had the opportunity to develop a variety of skills, like visual perception, problem solving, creative thinking and hand-eye coordination. We used our pens to make 3D shapes. Today we made a cube. We learned that cubs have 12 edges and 6 faces. We all had great fun. 3D pens are great tools to develop creativity and improve concentration. Well done to all. We are looking forward to have more fun with this modern technology.

Congratulations to our pupils as they brought 2 medals from Dublin.

We have a great gymnasts in our school. Well done girls :))

Our Green Flag finally arrived. We are so happy with our achievement 🙂

Congratulations to all involved :))

This week, 1st and 2nd class went on a nature walk exploring the local environment! On Tuesday, we visited the fairy village and today we discovered the giants garden exploring and admiring our surroundings.

 

We visited the fairy mountain which is situated behind the Memorial Hall and the Giants Garden. We had immense fun walking the unique trail which is home to ten fairies who each have their own fairy door and a purpose.

At the end of the trail, we found a Fairy Post Box where we hope to post our own message to the fairies in the future.

We also visited the worry-tree called ‘Croga’ which promises to take away any worries you might have if you place your hand on it.

Today, we continued our adventures in the Giants Garden. The story of the Athea Giant comes from Celtic mythology, as it was told he carried his mother on his back to bury her in the graveyard. However it is said that the different parts of her body were wideley scattered in the town land and where each part fell derived its name i.e. Drommadda (where her back fell) Lurriga (where her shin bones fell) and so forth. We had great fun examining the monuments created by local sculptor Jim Flavin showing the footprints of the giant and bones of his mother in bronze.

Many thanks for your generous contributions to the fundraising events which were held over St. Patrick’s weekend.

Fundraiser for autistic playground raised €5,471.

Fundraising concert for helping people who wish to visit Lourdes raised €4,400.
