Soccer Team (5th and 6th Class)
The boys and girls soccer teams competed at Irishtown Stadium in the Dublin FAI 5-a-sides football tournament. The three teams had some fantastic performances. The girls made it through to the final but lost 2-0. They should all be proud of their great performances.
Have a look at the image below of our soccer teams sporting our new jerseys - thank you to the PA (especially Eleanor Kelly) for organising sponsorship with Sherry Fitzgerald for the jerseys. Don't they look amazing!
Seachtain na Gaeilge
We celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge on the 4th - 8th March. The children completing in a number of activities throughout the week. We loved hearing the children speaking more Gaeilge throughout the week - Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste (Broken Irish is better than clever English).

New books for our school
We bought new books for our class libraries using the money raised from the scholastic book fair and donations from parents. The student council chose the books to buy for the classrooms. Thank you to the student council and to the parents who donated/bought books in the fair! As you can see, we are delighted to have some new books in our class libraries.
Lindsay Road Bake Off in 5th/6th Class
As part of our 'fun' Advent Calendar in 5th and 6th class, the children competed in a Bake Off. The children complete various activities daily as a count down to the Christmas break. Have a look at some of their tasty bakes. Well done everyone!
An Advent Posada Journey
Ms. Kelly was involved in creating an Advent pack for primary schools based on the Posada tradition. This pack has been made available to schools linked with CIC DCU. Ms. Kelly illustrated the incredible art work for this resource. As a school, we are incredibly proud of her work. Jacqui Wilkinson, lecturer in CIC DCU, creator of the Follow Me religious education programme and creator of the content within this Posada resource pack, came to the school to present the finalised pack to Ms. Kelly.
