Big Travel Challenge 2025 (Park & Stride)

Our #Bigtravelchallenge began Tues 4th Feb and even the wet and windy weather didn’t dampen our spirits as our pupils done the park & stride challenge to school. Everyone was well rested after our long bank holiday weekend and it was great start to the week!!

The weather got better as the week wore on and our park & stride to school each morning were nice & crisp. Let’s just say we were all awake on arrival to school!!

Our pupils all enjoyed some lovely chats on the way to school and a catch up before the day began. Thank you to all the parents for putting in the effort and participating in the challenge.

This is part of our Green schools programme and we are aiming to try to achieve our travel flag for this year.

Well done and keep up the great work!! #Greenschools

SEAI Workshops - Weds 15th Jan

On Wednesday 15th January, our pupils from all classes took part in SEAI workshops with Adele.

The junior room enjoyed meeting 'Guzzler the puppet' in their workshop with Adele. They learned that Guzzler is a puppet who loves to waste energy. Through games and activities with Adele the children learned where energy comes from and why/how we can save energy. 

The senior room took part in an 'Energy Challenge' workshop where they explored the topic of Energy with Adele from SEAI. This was a great hands on experience for the children as they played the energy game and carried out some energy experiments. Experiencing 'Circuit the Robot' was a particular highlight.

Overall there was lots of learning throughout the day and the children really enjoyed it!

Christmas 2024 - Santa's Annual visit to Scoil San Eoin!!

Christmas is always a special time at Scoil San Eoin and 2024 was no different. Mr S called for his annual visit to our pupils on Thursday 19th December. Our friends from Redcross Montessori came to visit also and a wonderful morning was had by everyone. Our fantastic parent reps provided the children with a hot breakfast before Santa arrived and they then got to meet the man himself for a chat and received a selection box as a gift each.

We also had our annual tradition of exchanging Kris Kindle gifts to each other and everyone was thrilled with their gifts. The gift of giving is still alive!!

Overall a memorable day was enjoyed by one and all and it truly kickstarted the festivities before the Children finished for their Christmas Holidays.

Thank you to Santa for the visit and also thank you to our parent reps for organising the breakfast for the children.

Thank you to our Parents & Pupils for supporting our Christmas Shoebox Appeal
