On April 7, 2011

Parents and Sponsors – don’t forget!
The Ceremony of Light for the 6th Class students will take place at 1pm tomorrow, Friday the 8th April 2011 in Lourdes Church, Sean McDermott Street. This will be an important commitment ceremony for the children in their preparation for Confirmation.
The children will have confession and renewal of their baptismal promises followed by the lighting of a candle with their chosen sponsor and a signature of commitment to preparation for the Confirmation.
I would appreciate if you the parent/guardian and the chosen sponsor would be present on this day. Looking forward to seeing you all,
Miss Caffrey

We had great fun last week making heads out of clay. When the clay dried we painted them and tried to make them as realistic looking as possible. Please have a look and let us know what you think!

One Book One Community

By admin

On March 15, 2011

5th & 6th class are taking part in ‘One Book One Community’ project along with many other schools in Dublin 1. They are reading ‘Across the Divide’ written by Brian Gallagher. This book is based on the 1913 Lockout, Dublin. It is very interesting to learn about our streets so many years ago. Some streets have changed, but others have stayed the same. We officially launched the book in the Ballybough centre March 3rd. Alice and Cara from 5th class went and met the author! He signed their books! They watched Marlborough Street School act out a scene of Liam and Nora in the book. We have 5 weeks to read this book, and do loads of fun activities. Parents and everyone in the area are invited to read it also 🙂

Sixth class LOVE reading!

On March 2, 2011

Hi all!

Lots to report from sixth class this week so far. This week is a busy week for us bookworms. We are aiming to get all our sponsorship forms back to raise money for our library so we are reading for 30 minutes every day. Here is a photo of us reading…

Later on in the week we are going to Easons to choose our free book for World Book Day which will be difficult because there is a great selection this year!

Tomorrow we will miss the launch of One Book One Community Programme which we are taking part in so we will go to the closing of the project at the end of March instead. The novel we will be studying for this project, Across the Divide, is ready for us in our classroom to begin reading.

We are hoping to do some paired reading with 2nd Class this week too to mark World Book Day.

And finally, another bit of news, we are starting our Drug Awareness Programme on Thursday with The Talbot Centre and N.Y.P. 1. which we actually cannot wait for!

Watch this space for more sixth class news and views….

Buddy Visit Day in 6th Class

By admin

We first met our buddies this week on Monday in our school library. We were a bit shy at first but then we got to know everyone through a game of personal bingo. We split up then and met two people each who will be our buddy for the next few months.

On Thursday the buddy group from Larkin came back to our school. We had our classroom ready for activities with clay. It was super fun and we got to know our buddies a bit better – what was really great was the fact that they could help us with the clay art.

We cant wait for week 3 of the programme when we will get to particapate in an activity that our buddies are planning for us. It will be nice to see some familiar faces when we start in Larkin in September!

Our class went to Larkin College yesterday. Fourth class and sixth class came also. We did music, dancing, wall climbing and drama. We all really enjoyed it and we can’t wait to go back again. We will go every Wednesday for an hour. The teachers there are really nice to us. The music teacher let us play the guitar and the piano. We were playing the theme tune to Eastenders.

Larkin is a very good secondary school to go to, lots of us will go there after Rutland. Some of our brothers and sisters already went there or still go there.
