Autumn has arrived and Junior Infants have been out searching the hedgerows around our school for signs of falling leaves, berries and anything else we could find. We spotted elderberries, haws and lots of blackberries. We would love to have found a horse chestnut tree with some conkers but we decided we would have to go further afield some day to do just that!

Now that we are well settled into our new school year, computer classes have resumed under the leadership of Ms. Craven. All pupils from 3rd to 6th classes attend their class each Tuesday. While those in 3rd class are introduced to to basic word processing, those in 6th will aim to be proficient in creating powerpoints, mastering Excel and getting to grips with coding – all very necessary skills in our age of technology.

As the September weather continues to be kind to us for our outdoor learning, First class headed outside and were spotted working on their computational skills – much more enjoyable and engaging than in the classroom!
