A busy year so far!

The Primary School Curriculum is followed in both our 5th classes, with each student receiving a broad education.
All children are always encouraged to do their best and reach their potential. A particular emphasis is placed on showing the children how we are all different and that everyone has their own unique skills and talents.
All children are proficient in using technology. We do a large number of group and project work across all areas of the Curriculum. This learning promotes teamwork, IT efficiency and presentation skills.
Sport is an integral part of 5th class. Lots of the boys have represented the school in Cumann na mBunscol football this year and are out training most days of the week. They also play lots of different games in PE each week.
Music is very important in 5th class where the boys in one class are learning the tin whistle and the boys in the other are learning to rap.
We are also entering the ESB Science Blast day in the RDS. We recently attended a day in Drumlish in association with this which was amazing.
The boys have also done a cooking day with Tesco which they responded brilliantly too and showcased other skills which we might not see in the classroom.
We will be involved in the cycle right programme later in the year provided by the Department of Transport and the Road Safety Authority. This gives the boys a great chanced to learn how to safely cycle to and from school.
We have just finished 6 weeks swimming too where the boys all passed their tests and will move to the next group in 6th class.
