As part of our JCSP Literacy initiative and to tie in with our DEIS goals, our junior students enjoyed a trip to The Lighthouse cinema. Students watched the Halloween classic with subtitles to support literacy, and some classes are engaging in pre and post-worksheet activities related to the film as well as the below competition.

Junior students, here's a chance to win a €20 cinema voucher in our competition!️ 

Write a brief review of either "Hocus Pocus" or your recent cinema trip ‍️️

Thanks to The Lighthouse cinema for hosting us today and to JCSP Librarian, Siobhain for organising the trip.

Last week our TYs and 5th Year Leaving Cert. Applied students, visited the Dept. Of Foreign Affairs, for a careers and coffee morning. Staff explained to them their job roles and their own educational and careers paths to date. A big thanks to Olive Ojo from NEIC / NCI for organising the trip and to the Dept. of  Foreign Affairs staff, for giving freely of their time, to our students.

For Maths week, students in different year groups, got engaged in various Maths activities. There was a daily picture challenge (which was one of the following: picture of either patterns, lines and angles, shape and number) for using your Maths 'Eyes', and emailing your teacher a revelant picture. Students and teachers enjoyed trying to get the target number, with a 'Countdown' challenge and 2nd year students went back to basics with 'Time', learning how to read the analogue clock. 1st year students played Bingo.  Pictured here are the TY students doing a practical activity on tallying and bar charts, by viewing the different coloured cars, passing along Kings Inns St. and Bolton St.
