St. Peter’s had a day to remember last Wednesday when our girls team won Division 3 of the Wicklow Times Shield. On a day of very poor weather conditions, they battled through to top a tough group that included Templerainney, Greystones Educate Together and Gaelscoil Chill Mhantàin. The girls fought back from 5-2 down to force a draw against a great Templerainney side thanks to scores from midfield pair Bridget Cox and Lauren Cheevers. The game finished 5-5. It was a different story in the second match against Greystones Educate Together as we lead 4-1 but scraped a 4-3 victory in the end... 

We are thrilled to announce that our new sensory room is complete! The room was built with the generous grant St. Peter’s received from Salesforce.org. Each of the children have now had the opportunity to explore the room and they all agree it really is magic! The room has many wonderful elements including a bubble tube, a trampoline, a slide, and a ball pool.  It was so fantastic seeing the children’s eyes sparkle and their happy faces when they experienced the room for the first time. We truly are very lucky. Thanks again Salesforce.org!

Our task for Monday was to design and create a marble maze using a variety of materials.  Here are some of our creations. ‘Feed me’……..created by Liam The aim is to get the Malteaser into it’s mouth. Not as easy as it sounds. Summer has cleverly added in a riddle for the player to solve before progressing through her puzzle. The route is clearly mapped out for the user to save any confusion. Karl has used the idea of a football pitch. He has some very tricky holes in the pitch for the player to navigate with the marble.  Here he is encountering a problem with his... 

The Green Schools Committee have been hard at work in picking litter each week.  We have noticed a distinctive decrease in the amount of litter which has been collected.  We have been allowing enthusiastic non-members to join our litter picks in preparation for the National Spring Clean which will be happening in Early April.
