Gaeilge 24

Ghlac Rang 3, 4, 5 agus 6 páirt sa dúshlán Gaeilge 24 ar 14ú Samhain. Rinne na daltaí a ndícheall chun Gaeilge a labhairt le haghaidh 24 uaire. Le linn an lae, bhí bricfeasta Gaeilge, cluiche biongó, toraíocht taisce, cluichí cláir agus go leor gníomhaíochtaí eile ar siúl. Bhailigh Harold’s Cross National School €1700 do Chonradh na Gaeilge – éacht iontach é sin! Tá comhghairdeas tuillte ag na páistí agus na múinteoirí, maith sibh!

On the 14th of November, 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th class took part in Gaeilge 24. The pupils did their best to speak Irish for 24 hours. On the day, we had an Irish breakfast, a game of bingo, a scavenger hunt, boardgames as Gaeilge and lots of other activities. Harold’s Cross National School raised €1700 for Conradh na Gaeilge – a great achievement! Congratulations to the children and the teachers involved, well done everyone!

Tree of Knowledge

At our assembly on September 29th, a child representing each class brought a word to the Sacred Space which to them signified what KNOWLEDGE means to them.

They hung their words on the Tree of Knowledge which is now placed in our lobby and where children can look at the words as they pass by so as to remember some of the reasons they are here.

The following are some of the words that the sixteen classes came up with- skills, perseverance, inspiration, teamwork, ideas, motivation and dedication. They put a lot of thought and discussion into carefully choosing their word. Maith sibh , a pháistí.

The members of the Student Council

Our Student Council members are drawn from second to sixth class, following a democratic process. The Student Council is one of the ways the voice of the student body is heard and listened to in our school. Many suggestions proposed are discussed, debated and voted in at council level leading to their implementation throughout the year.

Making the Transition from Primary to Post Primary

To move from one school to another is to change not just institution, but communities, each having its own assumptions about how pupils learn, how they should behave and the roles and responsibilities of each group, which makes up the school community.
