Buddy Time Oct 13

Every Friday our 6th class buddies come in to play with us, talk to us and help us! We always have lots of fun!

Niall De Bùrca came to our school during Friendship Week and told us stories about being kind to one another and how to be a good friend. He was very funny. Senior Infants came into our class to listen to the stories too!

Congratulations to our Christmas artist who won a special prize in the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown Christmas Tree Decoration Competition!! This competition is open to children from 4th class to 6th class but our star pupil decided to make his own one when his big sister  was making hers.  He made the snowman out of tinfoil, tissue paper, a bottle cap, stickers and an old bracelet.  Our winner, with his prize in our picture, and his mammy went to Dun Laoghaire today to collect his prize. Well done!!

If you like the look of us and want to see more, please come to our Christmas play, “CHRISTMAS spells Christmas”,  next Wednesday the 18th December at 11:00. We have been practicing really hard and want to show everyone our nativity play!

Here is a short video where we, the youngest scholars of St. Kevin’s perform our play, ‘Christmas spells Christmas’, a fantastic play that we performed at our recent Christmas Assembly! Click on the link to see us in action – we hope you like it!

‘Christmas spells Christmas’ Play!

We recently started writing – and writing wonderfully!! Our terrific teacher Ms. Harrison was so impressed with our writing she asked us to visit Mr. O’ Leary in his office. Mr. O’ Leary was so impressed he thought Ms. Harrison had done all the writing!! We just said ‘We are wonderfully wondrous writers’ and everyone agreed. Well done to our wonderful writers!

Today we had a special treat in school because it was Pancake Tuesday. Laura and teacher made some yummy pancakes for us and we could put sugar and lemon or chocolate spread on them if we wanted! We ate SO many pancakes we couldn’t eat all of our lunch!!!!

To mark the beginning of Spring we planted some bulbs in our classroom. We put them in pots, covered them in soil and gave them some water. We will leave them on the windowsill so we can watch them grow!

Our biggest congratulations to our super scribes – or our truly wonderfully wondrous writers! Our terrific teacher Ms Harrison asked our super scribes to visit the office and show our writing to Mr. O’ Leary. We discovered we have much better writing than the principal. He thought it was writing from First Class it was so good. Check out our wonderful writers and their wonderful writing in the picture below!

We have lots of really wonderful readers among the scholars of St. Kevin’s but these guys are really top class!! You could pick any book in Junior Infants and these guys could read it!! In fact Mr. O’ Leary thought these guys were in Fourth Class when he listening to each boy and girl reading, they are such great readers!! Well done guys!!

Every week members of the green school committee survey each class to see who have the highest percentage of walkers or cyclists to school. The class with the best percentage or the most improved are awarded the Golden Boot or the Golden Helmet award. This week Junior Infants won. Keep it up guys!!!!

Wonderful writing was the order of the day in Junior Infants, and how to describe these super scholars and scribes that appeared with examples of their wonderful writing? Well let’s try!! Our star scribes are genial, good, gracious, good-hearted, generous, great, gentle and gifted!! We are very proud of these wonderful writers!

This week the super scholars of St. Kevin’s sprung into action for our annual Spring Clean, which is led by the great Green School Committee. All the boys and girls were committed to their cleaning on the day, and they did a smashing Spring clean of our yards, basketball courts, football pitches and gardens. At the end of the day our school looked like it had been sponged, scoured and scrubbed, and it looked super slick. So our thanks to our scholars for a superb Spring Clean!!Click on the link to see all the action!!
