5th class had the privilege of doing a wonderful Creative Schools Workshop. They engaged in improvisation activities, group work and some creative colouring activities. The class thoroughly enjoyed their time at the workshop.
Some boys in Ms.Good’s fifth class worked collaboratively to create ‘The Beacon’. They intuitively constructed this structure using the polydrons during yard time. They were so proud of their efforts that they asked the teacher on yard to take a picture. Well done boys! Teamwork makes the dream work.

The boys have been taking part in lots of activities in the month of November. On the sports side of things, we started GAA coaching sessions each Tuesday in the school and Tennis coaching on Thursdays in St. Anne’s Park. We have been lucky that the weather has played ball and allowed us to stroll down to the tennis courts for the last few weeks. In the area of arts, we also had a brainstorming session for what project we would like to work on for Creative Schools over the next two years and students got to see their framed artwork in the art exhibition in the school hall.

We had the privilege of having a visit from a very special AADI puppy, Joelle. We found out all about the incredible work AADI dogs do and the training involved.
5th class had a fantastic 6 weeks learning all about safe cycling. In their final two weeks they got to experience cycling in St. Anne’s Park and on the road. Well done boys! We also had a visit from the Community Gardaí.

October was another busy and exciting month in 5th Class! We enjoyed getting out and about on our sponsored nature walk, where we explored St. Anne’s Park and learned more about the signs of autumn. We also had a visit from the Gardaí, who spoke to us about how to stay safe during Hallowe’en - we picked up lots of important tips! To top it all off, we celebrated Maths Week with a range of fun activities organised by 6th Class, including puzzles, quizzes, and problem-solving challenges. The boys also created maths-themed comic strips and tried to estimate the weight of a pumpkin to win a prize. Everyone really got into the spirit of it, and it was great to see so much teamwork and enthusiasm for maths!

The boys in 5th class had a ball at the excavation site in St. Anne’s Park. Our guide talked us through their findings so far and the class had an abundance of fantastic questions to ask. There are definitely some future archaeologists in the class. The Lord Mayor of Dublin even popped by to say hello and listen to the boys’ ideas and question

We have had a very busy start to school in Room 6 this year! For the past few weeks, the boys have been taking part in the Dublin Bay Cycling programme. They have been developing their skills and competence on bicycles and learning about road safety / how to navigate the roads safely while cycling. In PE, during Friendship Week, the boys built ‘Hula Huts’ where they had to use teamwork and communication skills to work together as a group to get all teammates through without knocking their hut over. The boys also enjoyed a very interesting trip down the avenue to the excavation site where the Guinness family house once stood.
