This week, our whole school has kicked off the Skip Around Europe Challenge! Each day, we’re skipping for ten minutes, building our skills, and having lots of fun along the way.

We’ve been learning the ‘ready position’ and are really enjoying the challenge of mastering our skipping. Today, as a class, we skipped an incredible 22km – an amazing effort!

We can’t wait to see how far we can go and what country we will make it to! 

We had so much fun enjoying the spring sunshine and playing with the new equipment on the yard today. Thanks to the Active School Committee for organising!

We are so excited to be taking part in the Skip Around Europe Challenge over the next four weeks. Our goal is to skip our way across Europe — one kilometre at a time! We’d love for you to follow our journey and cheer us on along the way!

Well done to our 5th class pupils who completed their second week of cycling lessons this week. They've been building their skills and gaining confidence each session. Great progress so far, keep it up!

Well done to all the pupils who took part in the Santry athletics trials this week. Students from 5th and 6th class competed in both the 60m sprint and the 600m run to see who will represent the school in Santry, showing great effort and determination.

A huge thank you to our incredible Active Schools team and Ms. Moran for the fantastic new set of skipping ropes! 🎉

We now have 30 short ropes and 8 long ropes for both Mt. Eden and Belmont, giving our students even more ways to stay active during class and yard time.

Exciting news—we’re launching a "Skip Around Europe" challenge soon! Stay tuned for more details! 🏆✨

The junior infant classes had a wonderful opportunity to attend their very first assembly today.  The assembly was presented by the most senior students in our school - 6th class.    The assembly opened with the beautiful but simple poem by Séamus Ó Néill - Subh Milis. This was followed by speeches and notices by the students.   We heard news from members of the Student Council, Active Flag and Greenschools committees.   The closing song was Happy Endings by Mika.  We are so proud of our sixth class girls and boys.  First classes, senior infants and junior infants were so engaged and particularly loved the song at the end.  Junior infants watched attentively and loved being there.   The next assembly will be presented by the fifth classes. We are looking forward to that already.
