Lá Glas

Lá Glas was a great success with lots of fun activities happening throughout the school.

We were all delighted to have our very first whole school performance of Shoo-the-Donkey. Bhí sé go-hiontach!
​Our First Class children were thrilled to be joined by the sixth class girls from Scoil Áine for some singing and dancing. There was lots of talent to be seen! Check out some of the photos and videos below, click here to see more!

World Book Day

There was great excitement throughout the school today as everyone dressed up as their favourite book character. All classes participated in lots of fun activities, which highlighted how fun reading can be.
The First Class children were delighted with the visits from the boys and girls from the senior schools who visited the classes and read their favourite books to the children in preparation of World Book Day.

Art Exhibition

There was a great turn out on Tuesday evening for our annual Art Exhibition. The children had been busy all week preparing their special artwork for the event. They were all very proud to have their art on display in the school Hall for all to see. 
Many thanks to the Parents' Association for hosting the event and organising refreshments for all.

Catholic Schools' Week

We were delighted to welcome so many grandparents to our school last Friday as part of Catholic Schools' Week. A special thank you to the Parents' Association for organising refreshments on the day. The children were delighted to show off their school and perform for the special visitors. It was a lovely end to Catholic Schools' Week. 
 On Monday we were visited by Fr. Cyril and at assembly on Thursday, children from First Class spoke about why our grandparents are so special to us. We said a special prayer for all grandparents, remembering those grandparents who would not be able to join us in school on Grandparents' Day. Take a look at some of the photos below and check out the class pages for more!

Reading Challenge

We were very proud of our First Class children who participated in our school's very first Reading Challenge. Mrs Mescal was delighted with the amount of books the children had read and listened to during January and presented each child with a special certificate and prize. Well done to all! Keep up the great reading!

Christmas in Naíscoil Íde

Christmas is always a busy time in Naíscoil Íde. The Junior Infants were very busy learning all their songs and actions for their Christmas concert. They put on incredible performances for their parents, and the whole school. We were all so proud of them!
There were shows in First Class too which really added to the spirit of Christmas. All the children were delighted to be visited by Santa himself, who assured Mrs Mescal that all the pupils were still on 'The Good List'. Take a look at some of the photos below:

Christmas Tree Lights

We were so proud to be represented by some of our amazing First Class singers at the lighting of the Raheny Christmas Tree. What a fun event to be part of! Many thanks to all the children who volunteered to sing, but unfortunately we were restricted to just six. 

Garda Band visits Naíscoil Íde!

What a fun and memorable day we had, when the Garda Band paid us a visit last Thursday. The whole school were entertained by the band performing many familiar tunes and we lucky to be shown the different instruments too. There were even some budding musicians and pop stars chosen from the audience to perform with the band! The visit ended with the whole school singing Heads, Shoulders Knees and Toes together- a first for Naíscoil Íde! Many thanks to all involved!
