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

Scoil San Eoin - Halloween Cycle/Walk 2025
Our annual school Halloween Sponsored Cycle/Walk took place on Wednesday 22nd Oct. The weather gods blessed us again as they have most years and we were so fortunate with the beautiful weather which made it a nicer day to cycle & walk!!
We had 2 options again this year for the pupils to choose from:
A 7k cycle around Ballykane- As with last year we were delighted to have lots of our Junior room pupils choosing to do the cycle and they managed it amazingly. Our pupils from both rooms and parents had spent lots of time practicing and cycling since our last cycle last year and it was so apparent as we completed the cycle in an hour which is an amazing time for all our pupils. We are all so proud of you and the children have well and truly proved that we are a very active school.
Our other option was a walk to from and around Cullen Park. Pupils who chose this option done lots of steps while there and even had time to listen to nature sounds and collect some leaves for an art activity that we were completing in school
After both the cycle and walks were complete we all had some much-needed refreshments and Halloween treats back at school.
The day was a fantastic success achieved only by the help and volunteering of our parents who were road marshals, who cycled alongside our pupils and who walked and helped supervise the pupils in Cullen Park. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t of done it without you.
Thank you also to our parent reps who helped in organizing the refreshments for afterwards.
Our pupils will have their sponsor cards until after the Halloween Break and we are hoping that friends and families will sponsor them for completing their task so well.
A huge well done to all our pupils and teachers for taking part in the event.
Check out all our fantastic photos and videos that were captured on the day.
GOAL Jersey Day 2025
Our pupils wore their favourite jerseys to school on Friday 17th Oct to raise funds for the charity GOAL.
Thank you to everyone that took part and donated on the day.
It will be greatly appeciated by the charity!
A Reminder - Halloween Fundraiser 2025
