Garden at Hansfield The Hansfield ETNS Green Fingers group has been hard at work making the most of the fine weather and plants are blooming all around! There is a small garden located near the staff car park. Each plant is labeled and some even have a nice chart to learn about the different parts of the plant and how they grow. Next time you have a moment, pop over to have a look and keep your eyes peeled for the first strawberries! Also see if you can spot the tomato and pepper plants growing by leaps and bounds at a side entrance. A sunny spot perfect for lots of fruit. A big thank you to the members of staff and parents who volunteer to make these things for us to enjoy. 16/5/2024
Hansfield Annual Book Fair Today, we held our annual book fair. As usual, parents and children were eager to browse and purchase books. A huge thanks to our PTA who organised the sale and ordering of books. A huge task but completed with much aplomb by our wonderful group of parent volunteers. The sale of the books will mean free books for our school. Thank you to everyone for your support!  Our very own Jo Jo Alabi (6th Class) scored the winning goal in the SFAI U12s All Ireland Final on Sunday last. What a marvellous achievement and what a player!! Jo Jo plays for Corduff FC and is certainly one to watch out for in the future.

Jo Jo sports his medal alongside Desmond. 20/4/2024
An Artist in our midst... Read about Aarya.... I'm Aarya Shenoy from Niamh C's 4th class. On 20th April, I took part in PARV 2024 Junior Artists Exhibition organised by Dublin Desi Collective at The Park Community Centre , Firhouse. There were about 9 participants , aged 10 - 15, me being the youngest . The arts varied from acrylic painting , watercolour painting, Mandala, Madhubani (a type of Indian folk art), paper quilling, pencil sketch and miniature crafts. I had 18 pieces of art to showcase which included pencil sketch, acrylic painting, sketch pen and colour pencil drawings. I was awarded ''Best in Show'' at the hands of Mrs. Reeti Mishra (spouse of the Indian Ambassador, Akhilesh Mishra) who was the chief guest at the event. I received a lot of positive feedback and appreciation for my artwork and I'm glad for this encouraging opportunity.  Congratulations to the Hansfield quiz team who won a place in the final of Blanchardstown Credit Union National Schools Quiz.
They came a respectable 7th place in national final and were awarded a cheque for €200 for our school. Well done boys and thank you! 1/3/2024

Easter Story by Daire, 4th Class Hello everyone,
You might well remember the story, The Adventure in the Christmas Factory, which was published here on our website in December.

Peace Proms 2024 Once again this year, the amazing Hansfield Choir took part in the Peace Proms Concert 2024 at the RDS on Saturday, 3rd February. Months of practice with their choir leaders, Emily and Kate, culminated in Saturday's concert where the children joined with over 2,000 other pupils from around the country. The concert was visually and musically magnificent and it was an amazing experience for our choir. The atmosphere was electric! Do take a look at our short video and slide show..... |
