A special congratulations to our Easter poetry competition winners in Rang a Cúig! These boys worked hard to produce beautiful poetry inspired by Spring and Easter - and their hard work paid off! Maith sibh a bhuachaillí. Keep writing!

The boys made beautiful Easter Baskets. They came in handy for their scavenger hunt, looking for chocolate eggs hidden in our school garden.

We had a great trip to the Lexicon in Dún Laoghaire today where we learned all about crystals and how to make them! Watch this space as we develop our crystals in the classroom!

For rang a 3's Friday minutes we went to Cuala! It was such a treat in the sun!

3rd class created faces inspired by Picasso!

The boys loved creating their world book day covers. Here are the winners. Maith sibh buachaillí.

Rang a Cúig have been exploring forces in science this week and got very creative with some match sticks and blue tack. The boys were challenged to make a structure that could withstand the full force of a human hand, a water bottle and even a stack of books!

Rang a Cúig had a great time creating unique and imaginative structures from just craft straws, masking tape and cardboard. Every build was different and the boys let their creativity run wild.

Every year at HBNS we hold a book cover Art competition for World Book Day. Congratulations to these three boys who are this year’s worthy winners.

I Rang a Ceathair, bhaineamar an-sult as Seachtain na Gaeilge! Ghlacamar páirt i dtráth na gceist, rinneamar póstaeir de sheanfhocail, agus d’imríomar cluichí trí Ghaeilge. D’éisteamar leis an amhrán náisiúnta freisin agus bhain muid taitneamh as go leor gníomhaíochtaí eile. Seachtain iontach lán le spraoi agus foghlaim a bhí ann!

A big thank you to Ms.O’Carroll and the boys in Rang a Sé for doing a healthy eating workshop with us. The boys enjoyed writing short narratives about Victor the Vegetable and tasting delicious smoothies too.

Our Sixth Class represented our school so well at the Vex Robotics Regional Competition in St. Mark's National School in Tallaght on 10th February. They also had great fun!! This was the result of months of preparation: building and programming the robots and practising their driving skills. Brilliant teamwork boys, well done!

We had an amazing fundraiser in the Heritage Centre, Dalkey before Christmas. The boys were fantastic and looked very festive!

Ghléas na páistí suas in éadaí glas roimh Lá ‘le Pádraig. Maith sibh a bhuaichaillí!

Bhí na buachaillí ó Rang a Dó ag léamh leabhair Gaeilge leis na buachaillí ó Rang a Sé. D’éist na buachaillí níos sine go cúramach agus bhí siad an-fhoighneach leo. Maith sibh!

Comhghairdeas leis na buachaillí seo. Bhuaigh siad an comórtas ealaíne i Scoil Haróid do Sheachtain na Gaeilge: na seanfhocail.

Bhain na buachaillí sult as Damhsa Gaelach sa halla le Rang a Sé.

The boys really enjoyed entering the school's seanfhocail and World Book Day poster competitions. Math sibh buachaillí!

The boys are loving playing Cé Mise!
