To celebrate World Book Day on the 5th March 2015 each child will be given a book token.
For six weeks the children in St. Anne’s took part in the Fit at School Fit Forever programme. Unfortunately this has now finished but the children all had a great time. The staff and children would like to thank Operation Transformation for choosing our school.
Our Boys Gaelic football team did so well in Cumann na mBunscol, storming through to the finals in October 2014. It was a fantastic experience for St Anne’s and although the boys lost out on the day we are all so proud of what they achieved. Here are some photos from the day!
The first week back after Christmas was very exciting as we started Fit at School, Fit forever. This is being run as part of the programme Operation Transformation which is on RTE 1 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8.30. The children taking part have PE everyday for six weeks. 
We are now in week 5 and are having a fantastic time.

We are from Ms Kelly sixth class. We have had a very busy autumn term here in St.Annes and we are going to give you an insight into what we have done in our class so far!!!! Let us begin!
ART: we are learning about different famous artists every month .In September we learned about Vincent Van Gogh .We learned about his extraordinary life. We learned that he only sold one painting in his whole life. Maybe we will be famous artists one day!. In October for Halloween art we learned all about Edvard Munch and recreated his famous painting The Scream.
Starry Night: We have learned about Starry Starry Night and used oil pastels to draw them they turned out brilliant.
ENGLISH: In English we learned about procedure writing. To help us, we made some delicious and nutritious smoothies!.We used so many fruits it was very tasty and a nice classroom treat!
HISTORY: We learned all about World War One and went to see an exhibition in Tallaght library. They had real artefacts, they were so interesting we had a great time there we thank the library for putting all there effort in. We wrote letters as soldiers in the trenches.. Take a look!
CROKE PARK: The boys gaelic football team done great in the Cumann na mBunscoil Gaeilic league. We are so proud of them for making it to Croke Park!
BASKETBALL LEAUGE: All 6th class is taking part in basketball league. It is very exciting and we all play for teams in the NBA in America such as Chicago Bulls and LA Lakers!
SHOW RASISIM THE RED CARD: When we were in school Jim Crawford who works for the FAI came to our school and talked about racism. We thought it was a very good talk and encouraged us to stand up to bullying.
FAI: We do (FAI) every Tuesday with Brendan. He is a very experienced trainer. We are so lucky to have him come to school to train us! He would be very good for younger students who want to become expert footballers.
I PAD PROJECTS: We are lucky enough to use ipads in our school. We worked on an app called “key note” and created our own presentations. Our projects were done on the Mary Celeste,9/11 and the Bermuda Triangle. Here are some of the projects done by people in our class!

Here is a fantastic match report by Dylan Benson (6th class) with the help of his coach and 6th class LS teacher Ms Conlon
Match 3 By Dylan Benson
St.Annes Fettercairn 5-8 Scoil Aenghusa 1-1
Thursday the 26th of September saw St. Anne’s Fettercairn play host to Scoil Aenghusa, in St. Marks GAA Club Tallaght. The game started off extremely well for the home-team as Josh Doyle scored an early goal followed by an unsuccessful wide from Clayton Harte. Doyle, again supported by Harte, kicked a fantastic point from play, while Niall McGeady made his presence felt by scoring yet another point from play. Scoil Aenghusa’s mid field powered through St. Anne’s defence scoring a retaliating point from play, but Tiawo Ogundipe fired back for Anne’s with a shattering goal to push the home-team further ahead. Niall McGeady again set his sights on a point but unfortunately his effort was met with a wide. The remainder of the first half was an abundance of 45’s and frees, resulting in 2 points for St. Anne’s “All Star” Josh Doyle. The away-team however, continued to push forward although their attempts at closing the gap in point difference were futile, as St. Anne’s goalie Gavin Brennan repeatedly saved each ball that came his way. Doyle, with the help of Dylan Benson and Wayne Kivlehan finished the first half with another goal and point, pushing the home-team St.Anne’s into a comfortable lead, 3-5 to 0-1.
Niall McGeady kicked off the second half with great pace, and supported by Hugh Connors the pair scored two more points for Anne’s. McGeedy couldn’t be stopped and continued with a crushing goal for the home-team. Sc Aenghusa fought tirelessly to gain back some ground but the back line of Sebastian Cirpaci and Emmanuel Masinga were too powerful a force and their attempts were unsuccessful. Tadhg Ward saw his opportunity to cement Anne’s dominance with another goal but as Anne’s pushed ahead they slipped up with a disappointing foul on the away-team, who scored a fantastic penalty goal. Sc Aenghusa’s triumph was short lived however as Doyle scored a further point. Hugh Connors, Clayton Harte and Dara Khera delivered three wides for Anne’s. Down but not out the away-team finished by blocking a promising goal attempt for Tai Ogundipe. The final score of 5-8 to 1-1, confirmed that the St. Anne’s boys had made it through to the quarter finals, the first time in the schools history!!!!
A big welcome back to all the children and staff at St Anne’s Primary school.
We have had such a busy month of May and June. We celebrated summer and went on nature walks around the school to see the leaves and flowers blooming.
This is our classroom art for summer, it makes the room bright and colourful as we get ready for the summer holidays!
We learned all about magnets in Science and really enjoyed going fishing for magnets.. it was great fun!
We learned all about length. We calculated the length of our books, tables, window sills and radiators, but the most fun was calculating the distance from our room to the AISTEAR room.. this was great!
We also had a fantastic day for Grandparents day and it was lovely to see all the grannies and granddads coming into our class to hear stories from the children and answer all the questions they were asked. Thank you! All the children made beautiful books for their grandparents and it was displayed in the Senior Hall.
We had a very exciting day at Zoom Playcentre and Glenroe Farm at our school tour. All the children had a fantastic day and really enjoyed their time on the farm. Have a look at our adventures…!
We have had a great year in Senior Infants. All the children have worked so hard! Have a lovely summer and look forward to going in to First Class!!
