Students and teachers were hard at work over the last few months preparing submissions for the We Are Writers project, arranged by Mr. Lynch. The finished product is a wonderful book of stories and poems written by the students of CBC Prep School, from Junior Infants to 6th Class. The books have been selling like hotcakes – they will make for great reading over the Christmas holidays! Well done to all the boys for their wonderful pieces and a big thank you to Mr. Lynch for putting it all together.

Our 3rd Class boys took part in Gaelic Football Blitz last Thursday. Here they are pictured with the other teams in the Blitz and in the warm up before the matches begun. A great day was had by all.

It was very quiet in Rang a Sé this morning as the boys completed their Christmas tests. They have been working very hard over the past few months and have even been seen revising in the lunch room in the mornings, much to the delight of their teacher! Miss McAdoo wishes them all the best in their tests and looks forward to correcting them!!!!
(You can also see the beautiful snowflakes they made during Art class in the pictures!)

Each week 4th class roll up their sleeves and get coding! It provides an amazing opportunity for the class to develop their STEM skills.

Drama lessons are always met with great excitement and enthusiasm in 4th class. Here the children are retelling the story of the Children of Lir.

4th class went to great lengths to construct their volcanos in groups. Many detailed steps were followed and a lot of hard work done to complete the task. The work paid off and the class showed off their science and artistic skills to the other classes in the school.

P.E is a great time to enhance the children’s skills.

Always making maths fun! Here is a photo displaying the children constructing 3D objects. Happy faces all round.

4th class visited the Aviva stadium for Ireland v Fiji. The trip was seamlessly organised by Mr Lynch.  It is unclear what the highlight was for the children, the fireworks display, the nail biting win or the Mexican wave which swept around the stadium. What is clear is that,  a great day was had by all.

Once again there was a fantastic response to our Christmas Food Appeal for the St. Vincent de Paul. Thank you to Ms. O’ Donovan who coordinated the appeal. Here are the students from the Prep School with all of the items that were donated this year.

Our Senior Infant boys have really been enjoying their weekly slot in the computer room each Thursday. They have been learning how to use Microsoft Word as well as playing some fun games to help develop their touch typing skills.

The Junior Infant boys have been working on building words over the last few weeks. Here are some of the boys working as a team in the classroom to put together some words.

Science Week in Fifth Class

CBC celebrated Science Week like many other schools around the country. As part of their homework, Fifth Class boys had to investigate and prepare a simple Science Experiment. The boys also had the opportunity to show other classes in the school their work.
