We were invited to the library to do some drawing with illustrator, Aga Grandowicz. We had a great trip. Aga told us all about the endangered bird, the Curlew. After we learned about the Curlew Aga helped us to draw our own one. We then stuck them to a background that Aga had prepared for us. Our drawings are now on display in the Library for everyone to see. We really enjoyed our trip to the library and we hope to go back again soon.

In our english book we had a story which included a recipe for Apple Muffins. After reading the story and learning the procedure to follow to make the muffins we decided to make them. In our pods we took turns doing different jobs to make our muffins.....the best job was eating them when we were finished!

Welcome to our class blog. We have had a very busy few weeks since we returned to school. While settling into our new classroom and getting used to our new class, we have had lots of fun. Here is a selection of photos of some of the different thing we have been doing in class. We made some swords inspired by the Fianna and Setanta. We had great fun with playing cards while we were learning about place value. We have also really enjoyed Hurling for PE.

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 have just been awarded our 8th Green Schools Award. We are committed to STEM progress in our school having just received our annual accolade of ‘Discovery Primary Science and Maths’ award. 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.
