28/6/2017

0 Comments

 
A huge congratulations to the girls in Sixth Class who today received their Speech and Drama exam awards. Four girls in the class had all their certificates and received great results in their drama exams throughout their 8 years in St. John of God G.N.S. It is because of this that they received a very special Medal from Ms. Noone. One of the girls received a trophy as she received distinction in all of her exams! A huge well done to each and every one of the girls and to all the girls in the younger classes, make sure you mind all your certificates very carefully so when you are in Sixth Class you may receive a medal too!

SUNFLOWER SUCCESS!

27/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Today the girlS in Senior Infants brought home their sunflowers. It has been hard work looking after them, making sure they get enough sunlight and water, and trying to rescue them from whoever is nibbling on their leaves! The first photo is the first batch of sunflower seeds we planted and the second photo are the seeds we planted recently. They have more growing to do!
Hopefully they will grow even more when they are planted in the ground or in bigger pots at home! Please email us in some photos of your sunflowers over the summer holidays and we can add them to the website. Well done to all our budding gardeners!

Athletics Prize-giving

The following girls came 1st, 2nd or 3rd in our school races and also represented us at this year's Cumann na mBunscoil Athletics competition in Morton Stadium, Santry. Well done girls!

Gaelic Football

These girls trained hard after school and at lunchtime with Ms. Clarke, Ms. Gerrard and Ms. Keoghane. Many of the girls represented the school in this year's Cumann na mBunscoil League. Well done girls! A big welcome to the new member of the football team who have been training extremely hard every week for the past few months.

Music

The first and second class took part in violin lessons with Mrs. Breen after school. We are all looking forward to hearing them perform at the concert tomorrow.
The third class worked hard learning the recorder with a member of the Artane Band this year. They even got to perform with the Artane band! What an achievement and gret honour. Well done girls!

BABY SEAGULL SPOTTED IN OUR SCHOOL...Update!

22/6/2017

2 Comments

 
UPDATE: The baby seagull was very quickly spotted by some girls during our Prize-giving Assembly...on the roof!! Although we do not know just how she got up there, the Senior Infants have a few theories of their own.

​A baby seagull has been spotted wandering around our school. Concerned staff and students contacted the DSPCA who kindly came out to investigate. It turns out, as baby seagulls cannot fly it is common for them to wander around themselves under the watchful eye of their mammy and daddy who will fly down to feed them at dusk. Check back here for more baby seagull updates!
