Both Junior classes went to Causey farm in Co. Meath for their school tour. We went on a train ride around the farm, fed lots of fluffy farm animals and played lots of fun games. It was very enjoyable and we all had a fantastic day!
On World Book Day, everybody dressed up as their favourite book character. 1st and 2nd class made a fantastic effort with some very creative costumes!  On St. Brigids day, the 5th and 6th class students helped us make some traditional St. Brigids crosses. We used some of the finest rushes around, elastic bands and scissors for our successful creations. It took a lot of concentration and steady hands!
1st and 2nd Class 'problem-solved' their way to the S.T.E.A.M room recently to take part in some fun, challenging maths stations. |

During the month of January, all students have worked with a fantasitc artist to create a whole school masterpiece. 1st and 2nd class have really enjoyed making colourful prints. We even recycled the leftover paper to make funky sea creatures and birds. Wonderful creativity and lots of fun!

Science week was fantastic fun in Scoil Mhuire Lacken. 1st and 2nd class got their lab coats, goggles and gloves on and entered the world of a scientist for the day. We mixed our colours to create some quirky colourful slime, it was great fun!
