St Patrick’s Celebrations
The children had great fun this week learning all about St Patrick and Irish Culture & Traditions.
Many thanks to our wonderful Parent Association for funding and organizing a themed St. Patrick’s Fun event.
The children enjoyed lots of activities including face painting, a treasure hunt, puzzles, a quiz, games, and challenges.
They also enjoyed green drinks and jellies with hidden snakes! (We thought St. Patrick’s got rid of all the snakes!)
Every child also received a Goodie Bag.

Great fun was had by all in Roganstown House today when a group of third students visited the JCSP Make a Book Exhibition.
We were delighted to showcase our Newsletter project entitled ‘Signs’ to this nationwide exhibition of creative work. As part of their IT subject our third year students started a Newsletter project last September.
Using programmes like Microsoft Word, Publisher, Photoshop and Internet search tools such as Google, the students drafted, edited, created and published a Newsletter for every month of the academic year.
The students took turns each month in taking responsibility for the Newletter roles such as Editor, Reporter, Photographer, and Graphic Designer, gaining them very valuable leadership and teamwork skills.
This Newsletter Initiative demonstrated excellent cross curricular involvement with Literacy, English, Art, and IT. Well done to all the third year students involved in this project. Feedback was very encouraging and the National Director of the PDST JCSP programme was high in her praise for this initiative. Congratulations also to their teachers Maggie Owens and Catherine McFarlane.

We went to The National Print Museum as part of our JCSP Newsletter project. We had a tour guide, her name is Christine. The tour was very interesting. We learnt all about how printing works. Printing was first developed in 1439 when a German goldsmith Johanne Gutenburg invented the type letter. We also learnt about the printing process over the years, including how the 1916 proclamation was printed. This was really interesting, there wasn’t enough letters to print the whole Proclamation and the letter P was made into a letter R using sealing wax. The letter O was made into a C by cutting out a part of the letter O. We really enjoyed the Print Museum. We got to make our own printed poster using the type cast letters, this was great fun. The posters were “wanted” posters. Then we went to Milano restaurant where we had delicious pizzas. After that, we visited the EPIC Museum, the lrish Emigration museum. This museum is a fully digital museum. lt is interactive, enlightening and visually beautiful. It tells the captivating story of a small island (Ireland) with a big impact on the world. Overall we had a fantastic and interesting day. Thank you to our teachers Ms.Owens and Ms.McFarlane.

The children listened intently as Patricia informed them all about when her love for writing began, and how important it is to nurture your creativity and imagination.
Congratulations to one of our students, who won a signed copy of Patricia’s new book, Bumpfizzle the Best on Planet Earth, for his amazing coloring.
