A salt water aquarium will be with us from 3rd February to 17th!
Ms Ryan coordinated the event alongside Mona from The Marine Institute Ireland.
She visited us on the morning of 3rd Feb and set up the Aquarium. Mona did two workshops – one with the Talbot Green Team and one with Mr Colemans class!
The Explorers Saltwater Aquarium in the class provides an opportunity to bring the seashore to the classroom and teach the children about marine living things. We have live animals such as periwinkles, sea anemones, prawns, hermit crabs and star fish. Sea creatures and sea water was collected the day before in Dublin Bay. All the sea creatures will be returned to the sea in a few weeks.
The Green Team Reps will learn about the Sea Life and the teach other children in the school. It will provides an excellent opportunity for our children to develop a strong connection with the animals that can be found on their local seashore. It will encourage their engagement and sense of exploration and learning about the seashore environment; as well as the larger ocean and instill an appreciation for marine life and encourage the children to appreciate and care for our seas now and in the future.
Thanks to Ms Ryan for organising this amazing exhibition which all the kids in Talbot will get to see over the two weeks.
Our school choir of 5th & 6th class pupils, under the direction of Ms Finn & Mr O’Donnell sung carols for the staff of AMD, Citywest on 17th December.

As part of Science Week Ireland, the Talbot SNS Science Fair took place on Wednesday 12th November and was a huge success, showcasing our students’ creativity and innovation. Students impressed their peers and teachers/SNA’s with cool experiments, insightful questions, research, and interactive exhibits that highlighted their scientific curiosity. A big thanks to all staff members for their hard work helping to organise the fair!
This week, some of our 5th class students began their journey on the Microsoft Dream Space Ambassador Program. The program is a student leadership and training initiative in which our Dream Space Ambassadors receive online training from Microsoft. These students will then support, train, and mentor other students, teachers, and others in our community based on what they have learnt.
Our first training taught us to think like a coder. Watch this space to see what we do with all we’ve learned…

Talbot SNS is introducing a new initiative to make yard times even safer and more inclusive. From this week, staff on yard duty will be wearing bright hi-vis jackets, making them easy for pupils to spot whenever they need help, guidance, or a friendly face. This little change (Thanks Ms Shaw!) will help ensure that all our children, including those who may need extra support, can confidently find an adult at any time.
