A few weeks ago the Guards from Cabra Garda Station came into the Primary School to give a talk about Safety Online. The children had lots of great questions which the Guards answered – no matter how difficult! On Friday Garda Rory popped by with 2 Hampers full of treats! We are going to raffle them off in the coming week. Thank you so much Cabra Garda Station!

Congratulations to Geraldine Lewis and to all the children in Early Intervention on completing the 12km ISL Run Bronze challenge over 12 days. We are very proud of you all. It is never too young to be active and here is a quote by Summer Sanders “Don’t just tell your kids to be active and to get outside and play.

Second class primary students have organised a Fundraiser for Dublin Zoo on Monday the 6th of December. They asked everyone to bring in 2euro each so that they could have a no uniform day and help to raise money to keep Dublin Zoo open. They designed their own posters to advertise the day and notes to go home for all students. The grand total is in and they have collected 151euro? Well done everyone and to your teacher Ms.Roisin O Sullivan for helping you to organise this fundraiser.
Sophia and her brother Bobby designed their own Save The Zoo T-SHIRTS at home❤️

Congratulations to TY student Noel Geralty who has won the ‘Toastmaster of the Week’ award. Noel has shown great confidence in delivering a speech to his classmates. He was highly commended for the way he structured his speech – Clear Introduction, main body, and conclusion. Noel delivered a speech on ‘The person who Inspired me’. He spoke about the famous footballer Salah and of his Philanthropy skills. He is inspired to be like him one day in the future.
Noel is also the ‘Grammarian’ in YLP class and the word he has introduced today is ‘Ecstatic’ – How very app! I am sure he was ecstatic to win this award. Well Done Noel.

The LCA students are hard at work again. They made a very sweet afternoon tea as part of their course work. They made smoked salmon with cream cheese on brown scones, tea scones with jam and cream, mini sponge cakes filled with jam and cream, mille feuille and Victoria sandwich mini cakes. Everything looked so delicious. Well done students and teacher Ms.Higgins.
