As part of their Materials topic, Mr Allen’s Primary 6 class designed and built robots using recyclable materials. Pupils carefully planned their ideas, drew detailed diagrams and measured each material before constructing their robots.
Their finished robots were imaginative, colourful and full of creative design features. Well done, Primary 6, for your fantastic work and thoughtful use of recycled materials!

Our school was delighted to welcome children’s author, Steven Park, as part of our World Book Day celebrations and be introduced to his brand‑new book, Sasi’s Place in Space. Pupils from Nursery to Primary 7 gathered excitedly to meet the author, a familiar face to some in the school community, and learn more about the imaginative world behind his latest story.
The children were captivated as he read aloud, sparking lots of curiosity about space, storytelling, and how ideas become books.
He then spoke about the process of writing and publishing, explaining where his inspiration came from and how a story grows from a single idea into a finished book. Pupils were fascinated to hear about drafting, editing, working with illustrators (our very own Mrs Park), and the journey a book takes before reaching the shelves.
Primary 3 and Primary 4 classes also enjoyed a creative writing workshop. The children produced fantastic pieces of writing and loved the chance to learn from a real author.
We are very grateful to Steven Park for spending the day with us. His enthusiasm, storytelling talent and encouragement have truly inspired our young writers. We look forward to seeing the creativity he has sparked continue to grow in the weeks ahead!
Primary 2 have enjoyed learning about our new topic, Spring. They have learned about the life-cycle of a frog, baby animals and all about flowers. Here are a selection of photos from Structured play in the classroom, the resource area and outdoors.

Primary 5 had a fantastic day on their Educational Visit to the Navan Centre, where they stepped back in time to explore the fascinating world of the Ancient Egyptians. The pupils were excited from the moment they arrived, and the trip was packed full of hands‑on learning and memorable experiences.
While there, the pupils had the opportunity to make Egyptian headdresses, watch and participate in the process of mummification and learn about Egyptian gods and goddesses. They also met an Egyptian farmer and his slave.
The trip was a wonderful opportunity for Primary 5 to deepen their understanding of Ancient Egypt in a fun and interactive way.
Well done, Primary 5, for representing our school so brilliantly!
Our P7’s have been exploring the exciting world of electrical circuits!
This term, they investigated how series and parallel circuits work, experimenting with different components such as bulbs, switches, buzzers and motors to see how electricity flows, how changes affect a circuit’s performance and tested materials to discover which ones are conductors and which are insulators.
Building on their growing expertise, pupils applied their understanding of complete circuits to design and create their very own steady hand games. From shaping the wire track to assembling the buzzer and power source, they combined creativity with engineering skills to produce fun, challenging games that put players’ steady hands to the test!
It’s been a fantastic hands‑on learning experience that sparked curiosity, problem‑solving, and plenty of ‘light‑bulb moments’ along the way.
