The current Aistear lesson in the Infant classroom involved a Halloween theme, a wedding and a party. The Infants first made their own ham roly-poly sandwiches, decorated biscuits, biscuit cake and smoothies. There was a wedding celebration and a party where all the delicious treats were eaten.

Halloween Fancy Dress Day 

23/10/2015

 
On the final day of this term, the pupils (and even some of the teachers) certainly got into the spirit of Halloween! There were lots of fiendish and spooky outfits to be seen throughout the school. There were some games of Snap Apple and Mrs Ryan and Helen kindly made chocolate apples for all at the end of the day. 

Friendship Week 2015

23/10/2015

 
A number of activities took place this week around the school to celebrate Friendship Week. The pupils created Friendship Flowers, Friendship Hands, Friendship Name Plaques and on the popular Friendship Board, pupils recorded the acts of kindness that their fellow pupils displayed. We hope to make next year's Friendship Week even bigger and better.

Halloween Safety Talk with Garda Nugent

22/10/2015

 
On October 22nd, Garda Eddie Nugent visited the school to speak to the 4th, 5th and 6th class pupils about the importance of being careful at this time of year. He spoke about the dangers associated with bonfires and fireworks and why it is important to be accompanied by an adult when "Trick or Treating". Garda Nugent also encouraged the pupils to wear a high visibility jacket when out due to the darker evenings now, to be respectful to all especially the elderly and to be aware that the noise created by fireworks can be very upsetting for all animals. Thanks to Garda Nugent for such an informative talk.

2015 Under 11 Football Update

14/10/2015

 
The Under 11 Football team headed to Cashel on October 14th where they played Gaelscoil Clonmel and Lisronagh NS. For quite a lot of the team, this was their first time representing the school in the Cumann na mBunscol competition. The team were victorious in both games and have now qualified for the County Final which will be played after the Mid-Term break. A fantastic achievement for such a young team!
