They learned all about saving energy, and renewable and non-renewable types of energy.They also had an opportunity to put their learning into practice with an interactive and fun quiz game at the end of the workshop. Thanks to Will for the wonderful workshop! 😀

We are continuing with our bridges theme and the children have been really busy making their own creations at home. Here are a few examples of what they have made. I've been blown away by their creativity and commitment to these projects.

We were delighted to get a visit from Padraic Creedon from the Explorer's Education Programme in third and fourth class. He taught us about marine plants and animals. We were really interested in the ray and shark eggs that he brought in for us to see. We will be searching for these on Irish beaches from now on. We are looking forward to the second part of the workshop which takes place in the aquarium in a few weeks.

We are delighted that Whizz Kids are back to our 4th class! A lot of us are use to using touch screen devices and find it difficult to use the touch pad on the laptops. We are improving our dexterity while learning to program too!!

The Junior Entrepreneur Programme was great fun and a fantastic experience. My group NJLS were working on selling reusable water bottles. The NJLS stands for Niall, Jack, Liam and Sean. We luckily got through to the second round and presented our project infront of Niall McGarry, Ms.Meenaghan and Mr. Gleeson. Sadly we did not win out of the six, but we were extremely proud of what we did! By Liam

Our school fosters a welcoming, positive and inclusive climate where values of self - worth, respect, equality and understanding are cherished and promoted.
Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a place to grow in friendship and life learning and when your child leaves at the end of sixth class we always hope to send them off being fully equipped to walk well through the rest of their education and life.
Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school. Our school motto is “Amor Vincit Omnia” which translates to ‘Love conquers all’. We aspire to holding this motto as part of our daily interactions and teachings.

We are an active school and pride ourselves in our Active Schools status. Our most recent success has been in receiving our Digital schools of Distinction Award. We are a proactive and progressive school and take huge pride in the wealth of experiences we provide for our pupils.
Our pupils thrive because they are supported, encouraged, cared for and given a real sense of belonging. Leadership is fostered through the establishment of the Students Council, Green Schools committee, Health promotions Committee, The Active Schools Committee. All children learn the importance of teamwork, respect and commitment through their involvement in these committees.
