🕯️Let There Be Light☀️ As part of P4’s WW2 topic, we have spent a lot of time focusing on our Science skills, in particular, we have been learning about how to make the most effective Blitz searchlight. 🔦 The children tested a range of materials to see which ones would reflect light best. We discovered that mirrors and tinfoil proved to be extremely successful. 🪩 We explored how light travels, various sources of light and identified transparent, translucent and opaque materials. Afterwards, we investigated how light travels through water, which resulted in the light refracting and creating a colourful rainbow on the ceiling. 💦🌈The children then had the chance to create their own Blitz searchlights, with fascinating results. 🧠🧐💫 Then, the children learned about the D-Day landings and how the Allied Forces used the phases of the moon to guide their invasion. 🌓🌒🌕🌘 The pupils used Oreos to create their own diagram depicting the eight phases of the moon. A very interesting and yummy experiment. 🍪 Have a look at the hypotheses and investigations in action!👀👀👀

🙏Celebrating the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Primary Four✝️ Congratulations to all the pupils who completed their First Confession with such reverence yesterday evening! ⭐️ Each child has received a special certificate as a memento of this special milestone in their lives. 🔖 The children also enjoyed a few treats in school today! A big shout-out to Mrs McGuigan and Mrs Doonan for their support in creating such a delicious tray of treats.🍰🧁🍥 “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me" — (Psalm 51:10).

🏑 Cumann na mBunscol Indoor Hurling/Camogie 🏑 A fantastic day of hurling and camogie as our teams proudly represented the school at the Cumann na mBunscol Indoor Hurling/Camogie competitions. Both teams showed great skill, determination and teamwork throughout the day. Our camogie girls put in a brilliant performance and battled all the way to the semi‑final, where they were unfortunately beaten after a very hard‑fought game. While the result didn’t go their way, their effort and commitment were outstanding. Well done also to our hurlers, who played with great heart and enthusiasm, showing wonderful improvement and resilience in every match.

✝️Sacrament of Reconciliation🧎‍♀️🧎 Our Primary 4 children are looking forward to completing their First Confession tomorrow evening - a very special moment in their lives.⭐️They have been putting in so much effort into all of their readings and songs. Have a look below at one of the songs we have been practising 👀 Aren’t we very fortunate to have children with such wonderful voices and attitudes!🤩👏💫

P2 are learning how to take care of our bodies. One way is to always wear your helmet when you’re riding your bike. Have a look at our helmets for our eggheads. Viewer discretion advised- not all the eggheads made it🥲 but the learning was fun!🥚🥚🍳🍳
