Visit from the orthodontist - South Beach Clinic
We loved having two special visitors from the South Beach Dental Clinic come to our school last week. They talked about how to keep our teeth healthy by brushing them correctly! We are also taking part in a special competition - for the next two weeks, if we brush our teeth well at home we have the chance to raise money for our new library! A great incentive for everyone!
The circus comes to our school!
We were treated to a very special, surprise performance from Circus Gerbola this Friday! We saw balancing acts, magic tricks and slight of hand all to excite and introduce our children to the world of magic! We even had a pair of special 'Circus Clowns' help out and show off their juggling skills and balancing skills - well done Mr. Cheetham and Ms. Kenna!
Workers of the week - friday 13th may 2022

Gaelic football blitz - Thursday 12th may
On Thursday girls from 4th and 5th class represented our school admirably in Bray Emmets GAA club. The girls competed against Roundwood N.S, Greystones ETNS, Kilmacanouge N.S and Gaeilscoil Clocha Liath.
There were some brilliant performances all round.
Kate was our top scorer, bagging four goals in one game.
Eilish showed great determination in every game is a definitely a star for the future.
Fiona improved with each game she played. She did particularly well when moved out to midfield.
Lauren was super in defence and made some very important tackles.
Vanessa played really well both outfield and in goal where she made a point blank save in our second game.
Mena was brilliant when moved back into the backs and made some vital interceptions.
Marlena worked really hard despite having to mark some girls who were in 6th class.
Emma was all over the pitch putting in good performances in goal, defence and attack.
Florence kept a clean sheet in goal for the first game and her long kickouts helped take the pressure off our backs.
Juliette played particularly well in the last 2 games giving some nice handpasses to set up scores.
Chloe was amazing in defence. She put in lots of great tackles kept going to the end in every game.
A big thanks to Mr. Hughes for sorting out the jerseys and refreshments and also to Ms. Byrne who helped out on the day.
The future is bright for GAA in Greystones CNS and it's great to hear more and more children are joining up with the local clubs.

Paired Reading - 6th May 2022
This morning it was the turn of our younger classes to visit the older classes for a reading session! All our younger classes took a book with them and had a great time reading to our older children - it's so nice to see our classes working together!
4th and 5th class football tournament
Today saw our 4th and 5th class taking part in the finals of their football tournament - it was a shame there weren't any scouts around as there was some super skills on show, as well as fantastic teamwork and sporting behaviour throughout! A very special thank you to Mr. Hughes for organising the tournament - future superstars in the making! Watch out Mo Salah!
Write a book awards assembly - 3rd may 2022

Science Fair 2022
On Tuesday 26th April, we held our Science Fair - this was an incredible event and one that we have waited a long time to host in our new building!
Over 20 parent volunteers helped make this event come to life - we had skeletons, dry ice and dancing raisins, as well as circuits, tadpoles and magnets to name a few!
It was an absolutely amazing event and would not have been possible without the help and expertise of our parents (and their children). Well done to everyone involved!

'Daffodil day' 25th march 2022
We had a fantastic day today celebrating 'Daffodil Day' - we raised money for the Irish Cancer Society and were definitely the 'brightest' school in Ireland today!
We also enjoyed our first 'Paired Reading' session of the year - two classes came together and enjoyed reading with each other - it was great to see and so lovely to spend time with other classes! We also, finally, were able to have our first face to face assemblies in over 2 years! It was so much fun!
SCHOOL SKIPATHON - 14th March 2022
Today we celebrated our school sponsored 'Skipathon' day! A day where there was always at least one of our classes skipping! There was even the chance for the teachers to show off their skipping skills (is 'skills' the right word?!). An amazing day for the school and one where a huge amount of money was raised to go towards our new school library! Well done everyone!
WORLD BOOK DAY 2022 celebrations
We had a great time celebrating World Book Day this year - here are a few photos of our celebrations, including the entries for our 'Read in a Strange Place' competition!
A Special visit to the school
Earlier this week Mr. Hughes treated the children to a special visit from a few of his lambs - the children were lucky enough to feed the lambs and also hear how well looked after they are by Mr. Hughes and his family. It was fantastic to hear all about them! Thank you Mr. Hughes!

A Special Letter from David attenborough!
We were absolutely blown away when Rian in Mr Doyle's 2nd Class received a signed picture and personalised hand written note recently from the great man himself. Rian had sent David some drawings and a letter and received this in return. You can only imagine the amount of mail David Attenborough gets so Rian's correspondence must have made an impact. Well done Rian!!
Write a Book Competition!
Over the last few weeks we have been working hard to produce our very own books, as part of the 'Write a Book Competition'. This has involved creating our own stories which have now been sent off to other schools around Ireland to read! It's been fantastic fun and all the children are so proud of our creations!
Our school work - in pictures! - February 2022
As a school we are all hugely proud of the work our children do and we wanted to share all the incredible work with our parents and community! These photos are of some of our many displays around our school and were taken by children from Ms. McDonagh's 5th Class.
