Maths Week is an annual event in which pupils engage in numerous activities to consolidate and reinforce many of the maths concepts they have learned throughout the year. Every class in the school participated. From practising counting change at the classroom shops, to long walks measuring distance to researching the richest people in the world on the Internet, the students had nothing but numbers on their minds this week. Maths Week is a hands on way of learning and more importantly it is an enjoyable, positive experience for all involved. Pupils also participated in maths trails, quizzes, workshops competitions and much more. The Parents Association kindly sponsored the prizes for the competitions. Many thanks to our Maths Week co-ordinator Mary McMahon for organising this educational week.

The Easter Bunny, accompanied by members of our hardworking Parents Association paid a surprise visit to all pupils of Scoil Eoin. He wished one and all an enjoyable Easter break and treated us to some tasty treats.

Seachtain na Gaeilge in Scoil Eoin was a big hit once again this year, as we celebrated Irish dance, culture and music. Pupils from junior infants to sixth tried their best to be ag caint as Gaeilge sa rang agus sa chlós. Tráth na gCeist, a fun quiz as Gaeilge took place in the halla. All of our pupils enjoyed Céilí dancing, while many classes showcased their very own dramas as Gaeilge. Jimmy aka “St. Patrick” led our pupils in their parade around the school and introduced our fine musicians and Irish dancers. Parents turned out in droves to catch sight of the proceedings. Some of our talented teachers played music while the Irish dancers showed off their steps. Mr. O’Sullivan’s fourth class hosted a fashion show ‘as Gaeilge’ much to the delight of the invited guests. Many thanks to Mrs. Mary V Dennehy for organising the successful week. Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí!
