Congratulations to the girls and boys basketball teams who won their finals in Tallaght Arena recently. 

Mr. Quinn and Ms. Ryan put in a lot of work and time into training their teams and we would like to thank them for their time and effort. 
We would not have been able to play the matches without the many parents who drove. Thanks to all!

On the 15th November Fourth Class were invited to St. Mary's School for a very fun workshop with Dave's Jungle. At St. Mary's we saw many different animals including a tarantula, a rat snake, and an Alligator Snapping Turtle. We would like to thank St. Mary's for this great opportunity!

Dave explained how the animals hunt, how they perceive the world, how they use their senses, what they eat, how they eat and how they catch their prey.  Fourth Class then have the unique experience of handling and touching crocodiles, tarantulas, snakes and large lizards.
Irrational phobias are developed through childhood and come to full fruition in adulthood, by exposing children before they develop fears they can then appreciate how wonderful the animals are.

​The children in 5th and 6th Class in St.Laurence's have been training hard over the past two months to be able to complete the run a marathon challenge in association with Marathon Kids Ireland. The classes had to take part in four running sessions a week in school. 


The students ran their final mile in Santry on Wednesday 14th November 2018. Well done to all who took part and represented our school in Santry.

On October 23rd a number of 6th class pupils visited Microsoft's offices. Through immersive teaching and learning experiences, DreamSpace at Microsoft Ireland helps to inspire students and teachers to see how technology can enhance education in exciting new ways, helping them to realise the full potential of what they can achieve.

Our students explored 30 Years into The Future. They were faced with a world that's very different one from the one we live in now. Cars can drive themselves. Drones deliver the shopping. Robots do the jobs now considered too dangerous for humans.
Students had to solve the problems of an imaginary country where transport is non-existent and translation of skills doesn't exist. They had to work together to find the solutions. 

The children from 3rd Class in St. Laurence's N.S, Baldoyle took part in the UN Eradicate Extreme Poverty Day of Action on 17th October by creating #WishingStones. Here are some of the many wishes on stone.
