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!

A world book day walkway was set up around the school. The boys had fun reading famous quotes from books while being active.

Every Wednesday the active committee run active lines before coming in from big yard. It's great to see the whole school so active.

Rang a 3 agus a 2 loved this tráth na gceist on Monday: Bhain said alán trial as. Go raibh maith agaibh rang a sé!

Our four baby chickens are doing well. All settled into their brood box for the next few days🐣🐣🐣🐣

Tá spraoi ag na páistí sa seomra ranga an cluiche Twister a imirt as Gaeilge.

Déanann na buachaillí a ndícheall a gcuid Gaeilge labhartha a úsáid chun an cluiche Guess Who a imirt. Maith sibh!

Bhaineamar taitneamh as an Tráth na gCeist sa halla le Rang a 3. Go raibh míle maith agaibh do na buachaillí ó Rang a 6!

Some of the amazing efforts the boys went to, to dress up as book characters for World Book Day on the 5th March 2026. Well done also to the winners of our potato Art competition this year.

Go raibh míle maith agat to the parent who donated this amazing rollercoaster to us for Engineers Week.

The boys’ creativity really showed when our computer teacher, Mr. McCarthy, did an engineering workshop with them. Their marble mazes turned out so well, maith sibh!
