Mr Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun...

Communion Celebrations
The wonderful boys and girls in 2nd Class made their First Holy Communion on Saturday. We are so proud of them for all of the work they put in. They spent the last few months learning prayers, singing songs and creating artwork to decorate the church for their big day. They shone so brightly, they managed to get the sun to come out for the day. Well done Rang a Dó!
Sailboat Challenge
2nd and 3rd class were set a challenge to build a sailboat in 30minutes and then tested it to see if it floated. They got very creative and were successful in their attempts!
Genius Hour
2nd and 3rd Class finished their Genius Hour projects and presented them to each other and to other classes in the school. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. They worked so hard on them over the last six weeks, and it was brilliant to see the final products. It was also a joy to watch them light up as they spoke about topics that were of interest to them.
