Room 17 have been busy constructing in the past weeks. While exploring Irish Myths & Legends we created armour and weapons to re-imagine a Celtic battle by the fierce Tuatha Dé Dannan.
We also designed boats to travel through the Suez Canal while learning about Ireland’s imports and exports. Thankfully our cookies made it ashore!!
Mr Troy’s First Class creating Free Art with the theme based on their summer holidays. Children focused on using bright primary colours to create their art pieces.
Mr Troy’s First Class, Room 8, starting their Digital Learning Programme with some Scratch Junior coding. The children created their own sprites/characters and edited them using their own imagination.
Room 6A are enjoying their new start and are having lots of fun settling into Scoil Thomáis. We have had a busy September making new friends!

Introducing our new Chess Keepers! Being a Chess Keeper is a busy role with a lot of responsibility. Already this quartet has set up chess in fifth and sixth classes. We wish them the very best for the year ahead and we are confident that they will “check mate” every challenge!
The pupils in 5th and 6th Class are lucky to have James from Leinster Rugby visit the school for the next 6 weeks. James will be teaching the pupils some key rugby skills on the All Weather Pitch and who knows, the next Aoife Doyle or Johnny Sexton might come from Scoil Thomáis!
Thank you to pupil Darragh Watters for being the photographer during the first session!
Introducing our new Chief Librarians! Being a chief librarian is a challenging role with a lot of responsibility. Already this quartet has opened the School Library in record time and has shown the new teachers how to use the library. We wish them the very best for a bookish year filled with magic, thrills and the odd dose of detective work!
Scoil Thomáis will re-open on Thursday, 31st of August at 8.55am for all classes except Junior Infants.
Junior Infants will begin school on Friday, 1st of September at 9.10am.
We hope that all of our pupils and their families have had an enjoyable and safe summer and we look forward to seeing you all when school reopens!
