We held a different type of Open Afternoon this year. We opened our classrooms with their laid out work stations on Sunday afternoon, 11 June 2017. We had great attractions inside and out. Our student body and new pupils (and some past pupils!) got to enjoy each other’s company, have fun at all the outdoor play stations, enjoy some lovely treats (supplied by mums and dads) and show off their work stations all under the supervision of mums and dads, teachers and past pupils. Huge thanks to all who helped make this a very enjoyable afternoon.

We are grateful to the Order of Malta who gave interesting and informed talks to all our classes in June 2017. We had fun on board the ambulance too!

For Christmas 2016, we made the decision to put on a play involving all 79 pupils! The Magical Christmas Jigsaw was a big undertaking, which saw all pupils co-operate with each other to stage this enjoyable musical which tells the story of the nativity in a novel and interesting way. Well done all!

The Big Tree – Slán a chara!

We had to say goodbye to our ‘Big Tree’ just before mid-term break. Our lovely copper beech despite producing lovely foliage, was rotten within its trunk. This tree has been the back drop to our communions, confirmations, family chats, hide & seek games and some of our past pupils have even had their wedding photos taken under its rich-coloured leaves. Watch out for the next pics of the exciting removal day!

Halloween 2016

It was all fun and frolics at the end of half term here @ Dunsany N.S. Many pupils and even the teachers, got in on the Little Red Riding Hood theme. The Junior Room performed their version of Little Red Riding Hood for all the mums and dads on the day of our holidays. They sang beautifully and acted superbly.

Who’s afraid of the BIG BAD WOLF! (Don’t worry the woodcutter aka Mr Donnelly, will sort him out!)

Airfield Estate – Our Big Day Out

Over the past few years we’ve been enjoying our Autumn Big Day Out each September – this year was no exception. We thought we couldn’t top our trip to the Botanic Gardens but we did! Airfield Estate in Dundrum is a proper working farm. We learned about jersey cows, care of hens, the everyday breeds and exotic ones too, goat- farming, herb gardens, pond life, insect life and much more. We saw vintage Rolls Royces and some of us got to dress up in period costume.

How do we distinguish a milking cow from a cow reared for its meat? Anyone remember? What has it got to do with Kim Kardashian!!?

Bhí an lá againn. Is breá linn an Fómhar!
