Our Under 13 and Under 11 gaelic football and ladies football teams were in action with Tipperary Cumann na mBunscol games recently. Some of our younger players were delighted to wear the Thomastown NS jersey for the first time. Well done to our boys and girls who put in a brilliant effort in all of their blitzes. Maith sibh go léir  We had great fun making scarecrows in preparation for the Halloween holidays a few weeks ago. The children worked in groups to design and construct their scarecrows. They sourced all of the materials themselves and they worked together to produce a fantastic range of creations. The school resembled a barn for a number of hours with the amount of straw that we had around the place. We created a huge mess but we also created some great memories. It was a fun-filled day for everyone.  Well done to Niamh McCarthy and Jamie Crowe who recently took part in a pony race for juvenile riders at the Tipperary Races. This unique event was the last race of the day on the card and it was televised live on television also. All of the young riders got to use the weigh room ahead of their race, were treated the same as the professional jockeys and met champion jockey Rachael Blackmore.  Our Junior and Senior Infants had a lovely morning visiting the library in Tipperary Town recently. They listened to some stories and then they had a look around the different areas in the library. The children got to try out the new interactive table and they had some relaxation time in the sensory area. They also had the opportunity to browse through the wide selection of books and do some colouring. Each child received "My Little Library Bag" which contains a lovely selection of books that can be read at home. Thank you to the staff there for making our visit so enjoyable.  We had a fantastic day at the County Tipperary Primary Schools Cross Country Championships in Thurles recently. Our 3rd & 4th Class pupils completed an 800m course and our 5th & 6th Class pupils each ran a distance of 1km. We are very proud of our pupils, all of whom completed this demanding course. We were delighted to have numerous medal winners on the day, in both the individual and the team events. Thanks once again to Joe O'Sullivan who sponsored our running singlets. This was our first opportunity to wear them and many people were impressed with our professional team look!  |
