Reading Buddies

This week we started Reading Buddies with Ms Cullen's Junior Infants.
We are having great fun getting to know some of the Junior Infants and listening to their wonderful reading!

Collins' Barracks Open Day

Inspiring Visitor

Last week Orla Murphy, a past pupil, called to talk to the class about her her job as an Engineer with Land Rover Jaguar. Orla recently won Young Female Engineer of the Year. She was so inspiring and had both teachers and pupils captivated with her obvious enthusiasm and love for her career.

LegoIT Workshop

Last week the Lifetime Lab called with Lego! We worked in pairs to create a racing car with gears!It was very enjoyable and tested our logic and team work skills!

A VERY Special Visitor

Last Wednesday we had a visit from a very special person. Seán had made his Confirmation and came back to see us all. We were thrilled to have him back and it was wonderful to see him so happy and mature. We look forward to having him back in Ballinora again soon.

1916 Projects

We have spent the last couple of months learning about the events before, during and after Easter 1916. We have learned so much about our country's history and what was sacrificed to achieve our independence. We are very proud of our country. After all we learned, we decided to focus on those personalities of the Rising, who were most interesting to us.

Our New School

Today was the very first day in our brand new school!For the first time ever our school has stairs!!All the rooms are so bright and airy. We are thrilled (even if we are a little further away from the pitch!)
