Junior Infants had a fun day last week. We had so much fun! We had a soccer tournament with the senior infants that Paddy organised- it was so much fun! We were in four teams and we played really well! The we had a yummy barbecue with hot dogs and ice pops to finish.                               After our barbecue we made yummy cupcakes and decorated them. Then we did some art and made puppets and windmills! Next it was time for Jungle Dave! Jungle Dave brought in so many reptiles and told us all about them!                                            ... 

The boys and girls from Junior Infants, Senior Infants, First and Second Class completed their sports day today. Paddy worked very hard to put together lots of games from High Jump to relay races, to egg and spoon races and catch the teacher games! Some happy faces from Junior and Senior Infants enjoying the fun! The boys and girls were so lucky and each one got a hotdog as a treat on this special day. They needed some fuel for energy – they were all giving all the races and games their very best effort! Well done boys and girls. Below see Seán from Second Class and Maja from Junior Infants... 

Earlier today, two buses of 1st to 5th class students set off on the school tour of 2015 in Fort Lucan. Everyone had a fantastic day and we were extremely proud of the behaviour and school spirit of all the students who went along – lots of smiles in the photos below! This Vine sums up how well the day went – sleepy heads on the bus home are a good sign of a great day out! Lots of fun on the trampoline! Red slide or blue? Which did you choose? You can find photos from our school tour 2014 here and from 2013 here!  

What a fantastic day out 6th Class had last Monday on their school tour! We visited Causey Farm in Meath, where we played the bodhrán, jumped in bogs, milked cows, blew bubbles, met animals of all sorts, rode in a tractor trailer, had a wellie-throwing contest and completed an obstacle course! Phew! What a brilliant day out. Thanks to Ms. Fry for joining us on the day, she was a helpful star to us all day. It was so lovely that Ms. Fry could be with us as she is has done so much to assist our class at various stages in the year. Check out our Tweets and Vines from the day. We have a huge Animoto...

Last Friday, we had a new twist on an old tradition on St Peter’s – the Mini-World Cup! You can read all about last year’s Mini-World Cup here. This year, we had three Mini World Cup tournaments – Junior and Senior Infants played in the morning, 1st and 2nd classes played between break and lunchtime and the older classes had their tournament after lunch. Here are a few photos and Vines from the day – and you can read more about the infant classes and their tournament here.      

Some nifty footwork skills there! This junior infant boy loves football!! Good save! Once a week the Junior and Senior Infants have a lunch time soccer club with teacher and the sixth class boys. The sixth class boys are unbelievable coaches, leaving teacher with lots of time to take photos! Yesterday Paddy organised a mini world cup day for us. The boys and girls from soccer club had great fun showing off their skills on the field and everybody had lots of fun. Thanks Paddy for mini world cup day and thanks a million to the sixth class boys for their hard work, patience and superb coaching...

On November 27th, 6th Class visited Leinster House as the final part of our #budget15 project. As you all know, earlier in the school year 6th Class presented local Junior Minister Simon Harris with a budget we had prepared. We divided up into ministerial roles and the department of finance ‘officials’ in class set to work to prepare a document suitable to present to Minister Harris. After weeks of work, when our project was done, Minister Harris came into our class and we presented him with out work. He really liked it! To reward us for our work, Minister Harris invited us into Leinster...
