Sixth class have started the Junior Entrepreneur programme. This month they have been learning about what an Entrepreneur is and what skills are essential to be successful in business. Currently we are putting together our new business ideas and will present them in a Dragon’s Den style show here in the school. This will help us decide which product/service to proceed with. Next week we are delighted to welcome, John Mooney, Managing Director of Glanmore Foods, to the school. John will be sharing his business experience with the children and they will have an opportunity to question a real entrepreneur from the locality. We are looking forward to that.

Bhí rang a sé ag smaoineamh ar Nelson Mandela an tseachtain seo agus an inspoiráid a thug sé do a lán daoine. Rinne siad ealaíon bunaithe ar chuid de na ráiteas cháiliúl a bhí aige.

Rang 6 were thinking of Nelson Mandela this week and the inspiration he gave a lot of people. They put together some art work based on some of his famous quotes.

Bhí rang a sé ag obair ar ealaíon bunaithe ar Hunterwasser an tseachtain seo cáite.

Ghlac Rang a 5 agus a 6 ó Gaelscoil Uí Earcáin páirt i gcúrsa ar sábháilteacht rothaíochta í mí Eanáir agus i mí Feabhra. Chuir “Cycling Safety and Skills school” an cúrsa ar fáil dúinn Bhí 5 cheacht i gceist sa chúrsa leis na páistí 

5th and 6th class took part in cycling safety training course run by the Cycling Safety and Skills School. 
The training proved invaluable to everyone. For those who already cycled to school, the benefits were obvious, but training was just as important for children who cycle only at home and during the holidays. In fact, everyone who will ever get on a bike needs to learn how to use it safely and needs to learn the skills to recognise danger on the road and how to react to it and this course showed the children the way to cycle safely . The course consisted of 5 lessons over five weeks.

Our 5th and 6th Class are involved in the One Book, One Finglas project. This is a community based literacy programme, designed to have the whole of Finglas reading One Book.

This year, the book Once by Morris Gelitzman has been chosen.

Darragh from 5th class and Alex from 6th class attended the launch of the book in the community center in Finglas along with their Classroom teacher.
