St. Cronan's Bray

Well done to Ms Heneghan’s 4th Class who performed some lovely tunes for their parents on the tin whistle today. They also had a surprise dance for them!

Thank you to Marino Special School for visiting us today for an Inclusive Sports Day with Mr Ó Broin’s 6th Class. It was a wonderful day in the sunshine with lots of cooperative activities!

St Cronan’s are Leinster Schools Tennis Champions after a thrilling final yesterday in Clontarf against St Mary’s. Our boys won all 3 matches with 2 of the 3 going to championship tie-breakers. Well done boys, we’re very proud of you all!

32 happy golfers from St. Cronan’s enjoyed a fantastic day, with some fabulous golf on show. Congratulations to Jack on winning this year’s title 👏. A huge thank you to Mr Vance and Mark Bayliss, and to Bray Golf Club for hosting us and looking after everyone so well.

🐝🌼 Happy World Bee Day! 🌼🐝

Today, we celebrated the incredible role that bees play in our world and the importance of protecting these tiny but mighty pollinators.

Our fifth class pupils explored how they could model bee waggle dances to indicate direction and distance as part of their Science Blast project at the RDS last March. They learned about the vital role bees play in pollinating plants, supporting biodiversity, and helping to produce much of the food we eat.

As part of our World Bee Day celebrations, the pupils visited classes throughout the school to share some fascinating facts about bees and to help raise awareness of just how important they are to our environment.

We are incredibly proud of the hard work, enthusiasm, and scientific curiosity shown by our fifth class pupils. 🐝💛🌍

We are delighted that our tennis players had a win against Carysfort School on Friday and are now through to the finals in Clontarf on Thursday. Huge thanks to Aisling for organising the matches and we wish them the best for Thursday!

We had a special visitor to Forest School today. Dr Ben Phalan, Ornithologist, from Enniskerry but living and working in Brazil. Ben shared his wealth of knowledge of birds with us in the forest and we tried out some binoculars too. Ben joined in some forest games with us and tried our dandelion tea. Thank you Ben !

This week, our 5th Class pupils had a special experience as they opened letters from their past selves, written when they were in Ms. Mooney’s 4th class. ✍️💌

As part of the An Post Letter to My Future Self project, this activity gave them a chance to pause, reflect, and think about their dreams for the future. It was inspiring to see they had to say! ✨

We’re looking forward to seeing how they grow and where their dreams take them!

We are delighted to be one of the recipients of the Tesco Community Fund. If you are in Tesco over the next while, please put your tokens in the box for St. Cronan’s!

Celebrating in today.

Our tennis players had another great win yesterday in their last group match. They came top of their group and will proceed onto the play offs. Many thanks to parent Aisling for organising the matches.
