The children will need a Lichess.org account as well as permission from a parent or guardian to play. Kid mode has to be enabled to prevent children from chatting to strangers online.

They will also have to join the school online chess club.

Girls and Boys football finals

The class had great fun making headbands and wristbands to show their support for the boys and girls in the Cumann na mBunscoil finals.

Parachutes

The children learned all about friction and air resistance in science class this week. They then went about making their own parachutes to put what they learned to the test. They had to drop their parachutes from the first floor to the ground floor without their egg breaking.

Easter Blitz Chess Championship

The children had great fun taking part in the Easter Blitz Chess Championship. With only 5 minutes to win the match the children had to think fast and play quick or risk running out of time. Well done to all involved.

WORLD WAR 1

The children learned all about WW1 in their history class over the last month. They were particularly fascinated to learn about the life of a soldier living in a trench and the awful conditions that they faced. As part of our art lesson the children created their very own dioramas re-creating a trench from WW1. From the fire step, to the dug outs, to the ladders leading up onto No Man's Land it's safe to say they did a great job.
