Science Experiment: Potato Growth

In the Junior room, we will be monitoring our Potato Growth by examining the sprouting of our potatoes. We will break up the experiment by leaving some potatoes to sprout in direct sun light and the other half in shade. We hope the shoots and roots will grow and we hope to extract the roots to our outdoor vegetable bed with the hope of growing more potatoes. Watch this space ............

First Penance was a great Success!!

Congratulations to the boys and girls in First and Second class on achieving the Sacrament of Penance. The children said their prayers with great clarity and confidence and they sung their songs with great zest. The children displayed their lovely art work on the alter. This is the first time to use the story and song "Zacchaeus" from the Grow in love new Religion programme and this modern song was greatly enjoyed by all. Many thanks to the parents and Father Byrne for a memorable and special occasion. Well Done Boys and Girls, keep up the good work !!

Shared Reading

As part of World Book Day we had some Shared Reading time. Pupils from the Senior room chose a book and read it to the pupils in the Junior room. As you will see from the photos, everybody involved really enjoyed the experience. Shared Reading develops confidence and a love for reading in both the older and younger child. It is also a good way to develop social skills between pupils of all ages. This will be continued on a monthly basis from now on in the school.

Clouds

All the children in the Junior Room have been learning about Clouds for the month of January. This theme was linked in with "An Aimsir". RI & RII got an opportunity to record clouds daily in the morning for a week and predict what weather we would experience in the afternoon. This geography outdoor trail was enjoyed by all. They had a Cloud finder to assist in naming the different clouds and a description of what a cloud should look like.

School Sports Day 2016

Each year in Scoil San Eoin we have a Sports Day. All the pupils are divided into teams of mixed classes and the theme is that each pupil does their best, encourages their teammates and has fun!!! Each pupil gets a medal for participation and we also like to present the graduating 6th class with a little going away gift. We also, present an Attendance Certificate to the pupil in each class who has the highest attendance since September and for Sixth Class we present a beautiful plague to the pupil that has the most days present in Scoil San Eoin from Junior Infants to Sixth class. Huge thanks to the Parents Association and all the parents who help out on the day, whether its making the delicious treats, manning stations, gathering and setting up equipment or purchasing medals and gifts. Huge thanks also to Claire for taking these fabulous pictures!
