ALADDIN - The amazing spectacular show of Aladdin will be performed Tuesday 19th June! 5th and 6th Class will be acting, with fabulous singing and musical support from Infants to 4th Class. Rehearsals have been taking place, it looks like a great show! 

It will begin at 6:30, but all children are asked to be there for 6:15!

There will be tea and coffee served afterwards, thanks to the PTA. 
 

3rd and 4th were treated to a tour - thanks to Rob Reid - in Powerscourt! There is a very cool exhibition centred around climate change, and we absolutely LOVED it! It was interactive, every child had a microchip bracelet to log their work, and the workshop with Phil was great fun! We would definitely go again, can't recommend it highly enough! Our learning pints were: every little change counts; our future depends on our current practices; our climate may be in danger; it's easy to make small changes! 

3rd to 6th Class had a wonderful experience recently...playing the Irish drum! Walton's School of Music sent out 27 bodhráin, and everyone learned how to hold it correctly, how to create a beat and how to play together! It was much trickier than it looked! Please see photos in our photo gallery!

We are very proud to announce that our after school drama club played a blinder at a recent competition! Well done to all involved, a lot of rehearsing went on but it was worth it in the end!! Check out all the trophies...!

We had a wonderful morning on Friday...we had breakfast in school! Pancakes, cereals, rashers and sausages, tea/coffees, smoothies and juices were flying onto plates, and being gobbled up at top speed! It was a wonderful time to meet up for chats, everyone had a smile on their face :) 

The raffle had amazing prizes, and lots of children were lucky! Please click below to read our list of prize sponsors and contributors...

As always, we extend a huge thank you to our PTA! All the preparation, cooking, begging/borrowing, cleaning, washing-up, prize hunting...the list goes on. Clearly, these lovely school memories could not be created without them! 

We'd also like to give a shout-out to Andy Bowman for his cool posters, always based on the school logo...they're fab :)

TOTAL FUNDRAISING AMOUNT: €2060 towards gymnastic and ICT equipment!

Welcome back to our third term! We have 8 full weeks and 4 partial weeks, with lots of activities and learning to come! We have our BIG BREAKFAST fundraiser, ACTIVE FLAG WEEK, musician workshops, Zumba Drumming and some cyber safety lessons coming our way. It will be a busy but fun term!

Dalkey Tidy Towns would be proud!
