Happy Halloween!

25/10/2019

 
Today saw many spooky and scary ghosts, witches and zombies attend school for the day. There were also some soccer players, hurlers, rugby players, Spiderman, Iron Man, fairies and even a banana thrown in for good measure!

We wish all our pupils a happy and safe Halloween break. The school will reopen again on Monday 4th November.

FAI Primary Schools Futsal Blitz

24/10/2019

 
On Tuesday 22nd October, our 3rd & 4th class pupils took part in the FAI Primary Schools Futsal Blitz. This blitz was played in Canon Hayes Sports Complex in Tipperary Town. 
Futsal is similar to 5 a side soccer. It is played with a smaller ball and some of the rules are slightly different. This was a non-competitive blitz and we got to play against lots of other schools from the area. Our pupils were presented with participation certificates at the end of the day. We all thoroughly enjoyed this event.

Fire Safety Week

24/10/2019

 
Two members of the Tipperary Fire Brigade visited 3rd and 4th class this week to provide the pupils with some simple tips to keep themselves and all of those around them safe from fire. The pupils were encouraged to use STOP as a reminder: 
  • ​S = Smoke alarms (Make sure you have at least one on every floor)
  • T = Test your smoke alarms weekly 
  • O = Obvious dangers (Look out for fire risks like overloaded sockets, candles and unattended appliances)
  • P = Plan your escape route (Keep access routes clear and have your keys at the ready)

Food Dudes Healthy Eating Programme

18/10/2019

 
All of the classes in the school are currently participating in the Food Dudes healthy eating programme. It works by changing children’s attitudes towards healthy eating, allowing them to cultivate a liking for fresh fruit and vegetables. Built and developed on three pillars of scientific merit, (1) repeated tastings, (2) rewards and (3) role modelling, Food Dudes has proven itself as an effective evidence-based school-based healthy eating programme. The pupils in the junior classes are taking part in Phase One which is a 16-day school-based intervention with repeated tastings of fruit and vegetables. The pupils in the senior classes will receive repeated tastings of fruit and vegetables over an 8-day period.

Under 11 Football Blitz

14/10/2019

 
Our Under 11 Football team went to Dundrum on Monday to take part in the Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol Blitz. Played in very wet conditions, the team won all their group games against Ayle, Donaskeigh and Rahealty. They then had to play Tankerstown in the Blitz Final. This was a very exciting and close game which ended in a draw after normal time. Extra time then had to be played and following a titanic battle Thomastown emerged victorious. The team has now qualified for the County Final to be played after the mid-term break. Well done everyone!
