My Heart is Pounding!




6th Class have been learning all about the heart since they came back to school. They know what keeps it pumping and why it is pumping! They measured their pulse rates at rest and after exercise to explore the differences between the two.

What a Response!




We looked at the art of Henri Rousseau in 5th Class. He created a lot of jungle inspired art. Using him as an inspiration we discovered other "jungle-esque" pictures and that led us to creating this!

The Finished Product



Truly tremendous artists at work!

Magnificent Mr. Mulrooney!






We welcomed back our principal, Mr. Mulrooney in style today, following his fantastic success in guiding the Kilkenny minor hurling team to a record 19th All Ireland title in Croke Park on Sunday. We are very proud of Mr. Mulrooney and are honoured to have him train us, teach us and lead us on a daily basis. Comhghairdeas leat Mr Mulrooney agus le an fhoireann go léir!


Marvellous Mr. Mulrooney!
