 In the weeks before Christmas, 5th Class took part in Marathon Kids, organised by Dublin City Marathon and Fingal County Council, whereby over 8 weeks they would complete a full marathon of 26.2 miles. The children ran around the school yard and local area over the weeks, culminating today with the Final Mile in Ongar Park, and we were there to capture the moment... Well done to everyone on your wonderful achievement. Hopefully, we've created some runners for the future! 16/12/2022
PTA Hot Chocolate & Cookie Day Once gain, our PTA put on a wonderful event for everyone at Hansfield while at the same time raising funds for the school. With the freezing weather, what could be better than a hot chocolate and cookie at pick-up time??? It was no mean feat to make hot chocolate and cookies for hundreds of parents and children but, as usual, the PTA made it look effortless. We hope you enjoyed the day. A huge thank to the PTA and to all of you who came along, joined the long queue and supported and had fun!!! You raised an astonishing €1,064 for our school. 15/12/2022
A message from King Charles When Queen Elizabeth II passed away last September, Gillian P's 4th Class took it upon themselves to send a letter of condolence to the new King Charles.
They were delighted this morning to receive a card from King Charles thanking them for reaching out to him and his family at a very sad time for them. It seems the King was thankful for this kind gesture from the pupils at Hansfield ETNS. 15/12/2022

Fire truck visit You may remember that we recently had a visit from Station Officer John and Firefighter Seán from Dublin Fire Service. Well, Station Officer John returned today with his fire truck! Junior and Senior Infants waited patiently for the sound of the siren to hail its arrival. Children were able to the fire truck up close, learn about the different parts and uses of the truck and watch a fire hose display! To finish up, some lucky children even held the hose. The visit was cut a little short as the team was called out to an emergency. Such is the job of our wonderful fire service! Check out our short video! |
