Active Movement Break Week
Last week our school took part in the 'Croke Park movement breaks' as part of the Active Breaks Challenge for 2026. These challenges have been supported by the GAA who, working with the Active School Flag team, have created a set of English and Irish movement break videos to support this initiative, each of which is filmed at a different location around Croke Park.
Our Classes got behind-the-scenes look at where the team buses arrive, inside the players’ dressing rooms and the warm up areas where legends get game ready. They also got to learn interesting facts about Croke Park.
Pupils from all our classes took part in these movement breaks last week and really enjoyed it.
Well done everyone!! Great Job!

Santa Visit & Breakfast Morning
Today, for our final full school day and to finish off the festivities before our school holidays, we had our annual visit from Santa. Our pupils got to visit Santa, have a chat with him and all received a lovely personalised treat. It was a gorgeous morning and we also had some special visitors from Redcross Montessori to visit and see Santa too. Our amazing parent reps provided hot refreshments and treats for our parents and also a hot breakfast for all our pupils to enjoy.
Treats were also a must have today too!! Thank you to all of our parents reps for organising and hosting the refreshments for everyone, it is very much appreciated. Our pupils are extremely lucky to get this visit each year and we would like to thank Santa for calling to see us. All that's left to do now is enjoy the final day of school tomorrow! We hope that all the children enjoyed their visit today and that it was a memorable experience for them. Happy Christmas to all!

Scoil San Eoin (Christmas Performance 2025)
Our annual Christmas Performance to end out 2025 was held in Trinity Hall on Thursday 11th December.
Pupils from our junior room kick started the night with their adaptation of the Donkeys Christmas. All of our pupils worked so hard learning their lines and practising so hard for this performance. For some of our pupils, this was their first stage debut and we think they all done brilliantly. Everyone done so well on the night and our audience really enjoyed it. After their performance our pupils performed 2 more Christmas songs with Leslie Dowdall from music generation and again these were both sang so well. We could see on the night how much our weekly music classes are benefiting the children in all classes throughout the school. Well done to each and everyone of our pupils from the Junior room on a brilliant performance and a great opening to the night.
After this was our interval where our parents got to enjoy some hot drinks and festive treats while mingling and getting ready for performance number 2 of the night.
Next up was our pupils from the senior room with Big Bad Ben. Again these group have worked very hard and learned so many lines for their parts in this play. Members of the audience on the night might have gotton a small shower when Ben made his way around the hall. There was lots of laughter at the jokes throughout the performance on the night. After their Big Bad Ben performance, next up was some more music with Leslie and pupils performed both songs beautifully. Everyone done an excellent job on the night and it was a great end to the show. Well done to everyone, we are very proud of you all.
To close out the night, we had our final fundraising raffle of the year and there were so many beautiful hampers on the night up for grabs. There were lots of winners and we hope that you are all happy with your prizes.
Each year we are extremely lucky that local businesses continue to support us with donating prizes to our raffle. Thank you to all of these businesses, without you all we would not be able to hold our fundraising raffle each year. A full list of businesses who have so generously given prizes will be published in the coming days.
Thats our Christmas Performance 2025 finished and we hope that everyone present on the night enjoyed it.
Well done to all our pupils and teachers on 2 fantastic shows.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Primary Stitch Project - First & Second Class Pupils
Re-Imagining Textiles Initiative - The Primary Stitch
The boys and girls in First and Second Class in Scoil San Eoin were extremely lucky to take part in a workshop called The Primary Stitch. This re-imagining textiles Initiative was funded by Sarah Rubalcava, our Environmental Awareness Officer from the Wicklow County Council.
The pupils thoroughly enjoyed 5 workshops of two hours each. Tamara who is the lead textile artist for The Primary Stitch and her colleague Susie exposed the pupils to a hands-on experience that nurtured them environmentally and made them aware as individuals to make informed, ethical, and sustainable choices about the clothing they wear and the resources they use eg: buy more from Charity Shops, pass or exchange clothes between friends and neighbours etc. During the workshops, the pupils learnt how to thread a needle, knot it and sew. At the end of the workshops, all pupils made a bunting with their own individual creative stitched triangle. The last workshop was a fun one where the pupils got to stitch and create Christmas decorations. It is lovely to see all the pupils now have a lifelong skill to stitch!
Well done everyone
You all done an amazing job!!
Science week in our Senior room!
The theme of science week this year for our senior room pupils was 'Then - Today - Now' .
We looked at Irish scientist from the past and the changes/discoveries they made. Pupils researched a chosen scientist in pairs and presented their findings. Using the theme of Air we investigated through experiments.
Does air have force? Does air have weight and does temperature affect air and how? Pupils were asked to look at an invention through the lens of the past, present and future.
Finally pupils were given a STEM challenge of creating their own parachute using a choice of materials and style, again using all their knowledge of air and aerodynamics.
They all done a fantastic job and had lots of dun deigning and creating their parachutes.
Well done everyone
