We are so proud of all their efforts and achievements throughout the term.
With the lovely weather, we have enjoyed getting outdoors and taking trips to our local parks. The boys had great fun exploring, playing, and making the most of the sunshine with their friends.
We were also delighted to welcome some special visitors to our school. One of the highlights was a visit from Joe the Magician. The boys were amazed by his fantastic tricks and thoroughly enjoyed the fun and laughter he brought to our day.
Another memorable event was our school tour to Dublin Zoo. The boys had a wonderful time seeing all the different animals and learning more about them. It was especially exciting to connect the animals we saw at the zoo with the topics we had explored in school throughout the year.
As we come to the end of a fantastic school year, we would like to thank the boys for all their hard work and enthusiasm. We have made many wonderful memories together and look forward to celebrating the end of a successful year.

We have had lots of fun taking part in sensory tray activities, creating artwork, and completing a variety of tabletop activities in the classroom, to name a few! The boys also had a fantastic time when JP from Leinster Rugby visited and taught them some great rugby skills.
We were also delighted to welcome Niamh and Alex for Athletics sessions, where the boys had great fun participating in different activities and developing their movement skills.
Despite the rainy weather, we have continued our walks whenever possible. The boys really enjoy getting out to explore the local parks and walkways, and these outings are always a highlight of the week. 🌧️🌳
]]><![CDATA[Another busy term!]]>Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:07:23 GMThttps://www.eskeretns.ie/blue-class/another-busy-termWe have had a very busy and enjoyable term in Blue, filled with many fun and meaningful learning experiences. The penguin sensory tray was a huge hit, alongside winter baking and a variety of creative art activities. The boys also took to the stage and experimented singing into the microphone and singing songs for their friends! 
As a special end-of-term treat, we went to the cinema in Liffey Valley to watch a Paw Patrol Christmas film. Afterwards, we enjoyed a trip to McDonald’s, followed by the bus journey home. The boys had a wonderful day and gained lots of valuable learning experiences along the way!

Everyone enjoyed some delicious pastries and juice!
Halloween was another highlight, with lots of fun dressing up in fantastic costumes. The boys had a wonderful day and ended the celebrations with a cozy movie afternoon, watching some of their favourite Halloween-themed cartoons (and, of course, enjoying a few treats!).
We’ve also been exploring new activities and games which have brought lots of smiles and teamwork to our days. In addition, the boys created some beautiful autumnal art, inspired by the changing colours of the season and the different colour leaves on the trees we see on our daily walks.
Birthday season has also begun in Blue Class! We’ve already celebrated with birthday cake and some small, tasty treats — a perfect way to end a week full of fun and learning.

The boys are delighted to be back at school, reconnecting with friends and teachers. September has been a busy and exciting month so far — settling back into routines, exploring new topics, and getting out into the Lucan community!
The boys have loved their daily walks around Lucan (when the weather allows!), and recently we’ve been exploring the theme of Autumn. We learned about the animals that hibernate during this season and collected colourful autumn leaves on our walks to use in our creative hedgehog art projects.

​School Tour 2025 – Explorium, Sandyford
This year, our students had the incredible opportunity to visit Explorium – Ireland’s National Sport and Science Centre in Sandyford. It was a day filled with discovery, excitement, and hands-on learning that truly brought science to life!
From the moment they arrived, the boys were immersed in a world of exploration and curiosity. Explorium offers a dynamic blend of interactive exhibits and engaging activities designed to spark the imagination. The boys were able to take part in a wide range of science-based stations and experiments that were both educational and incredibly fun.
Some of the highlights of the day included:
  • Hands-on bubble experiments, where the boys explored the science behind surface tension and created giant, colourful bubbles.

  • Magnetism stations, allowing students to discover how magnetic forces work through interactive challenges and demonstrations.

  • STEM play zones featuring age-appropriate puzzles and games that encouraged teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity.

  • Social learning areas, where the boys collaborated and learned through play, building on their communication and problem-solving skills.

Throughout the visit, the boys were engaged by the variety of activities on offer. It was a fantastic day out and great fun was had by all! :)
