Our very talented 3rd class had an amazing experience last week playing with the Artane band. We were very lucky as a school to get to see the 3rd class perform in our school hall.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day and we celebrated the day in our school. Every child and teacher wore odd socks and 2nd class performed two beautiful songs using lámh.

Seachtain na Gaeilge is all about promoting the Irish language and culture and celebrating our heritage. There are lots of lovely activities going on all over the school- paired reading using Irish books, Irish treasure hunts, an art competition, a quiz and a concert on Friday. Today 1st-6th had a special treat of a Trad session. It was wonderful the two men played a variety of musical instruments and sang for the school. Our wonderful 1st class entertained us with a beautiful Irish dance, 2nd class played the ukulele and 3rd class played the recorders.

As part of World Book Week every class took part in paired reading with a different class. It was a wonderful experience for all involved.
