Online Homework
Throughout the year, children in Mr Hart's class will be completing some aspects of the curriculum "Online". They will be using a special type of webpage known as a WIKI. This will allow them to work collaboratively with their peers in a safe online environment.
St Joseph's Madden & Sacred Heart Rock Pen-pal activity
This year, children in Mr Hart's class will be completing an online penpal activity with children from Sacred Heart PS Rock. The children will be using a special website known as a “Wiki” which will allow them to work collaboratively with their peers.
This activity will offer children the unique opportunity to learn about their pen pals in a safe online environment. Many of the primary seven children will meet their pen pals in person when they travel to Lisdoonvarna together next year.

Lisdoonvarna 2012
Each year, primary seven pupils from St. Joseph's PS visit Lisdoonvarna in County Clare. The trip has become a highlight of the primary seven year and has offered children the chance to visit a range of educational heritage sites including the cliffs of Moher, the Ailwee caves and Bunratty castle.
The trip also offers children the opportunity to meet with pupils from a number of other schools throughout the north. One school which we have established positive links with over the years is Sacred Heart PS Rock.
In preparation for the trip pupils from St. Joseph's will establish links with their peers in the Rock. This will be completed using a WIKI page similar to that used for homework tasks. They will also have the opportunity to meet these children prior to the trip when they visit our new school.
The WIKI page can be accessed by clicking this link and entering a usename and password.
