PA Christmas Party

A massive THANK YOU to our brilliant PA for yesterday's super Christmas party! The event was so well organised and we are very grateful to the parents who gave up so much of their time to plan and run the party! Have a look at some of the fun: 

We would like to wish all of our pupils and their families a merry Christmas! We will see you all in the New Year!

Christmas Party

Many thanks to all of the parents involved in organising and running today's wonderful Christmas party! The children had a fantastic afternoon meeting Mrs. Claus, dancing to the DJ, playing party games and eating pizza! The children in 6th Class were presented with hoodies too. Everyone had a brilliant time! 

Thank you!

Green Schools Energy Workshop

Next year (2018), St Patrick's NS will be working towards getting their second Green Schools Flag and as one of the steps towards obtaining that second flag, the whole school participated in a workshop run by Gavin Harte on Wednesday the 13th of December on the theme of energy. The workshop was fantastic and consisted of 3 stations where the children learned about different types of energy and generated Watts of energy by riding a stationary bicycle.  They even helped to make smoothies by pedalling a stationary bike to generate more energy and best of all, everyone got to taste the smoothie! We also learned how many watts of energy were used by common household objects and appliances such as electric showers and kettles.

Christmas in the Past

Many thanks to Úna Kilrane who came in to talk to the Junior and Middle Rooms today about Christmas in the past! It was great to hear a first-hand account of life long ago and she also had photographs to show the children of Wren Boys, clothes worn and more! Well done to the boys and girls for asking such great questions too!

The children are also learning about toys in the past. Juniors and Seniors got to explore toys from the past today:

A Phone Timeline!

Merry Christmas from all at St. Patrick's NS, we hope you enjoy the break! See you all on the 9th of January!

Knightsbridge Nursing Home

Today we went to Knightsbridge Nursing Home to visit some of the residents there and to help celebrate their Christmas Party with them. We sang some festive songs, performed our Nativity Play, read prayers and some children in the Senior Room read their Christmas poems. We had a great day and everyone at the Knightsbridge were very welcoming and friendly!
