To say that there was huge excitement for the return of our annual Witches Walk was an understatement! Not only is it a day where both the children and staff dress up, but it’s a vital fundraiser for the school too. This year, there were three different walking routes with classes assigned to each. This ensured that everybody was safe and classes could socially distance. As always, there was an amazing atmosphere in school throughout the day. A big thank you to everyone who supported this fundraiser and to all the children for getting into the Halloween spirit. (more…)

Congratulations to both of you too.  (more…)

To celebrate Maths Week, Ms. Harty brought her maths groups out and about on a maths trail. The girls had to use various maths skills to answer the questions. They were estimating, counting, finding shapes, discussing odd and even numbers and using their school environment. The girls enjoyed the break away from the classroom and are looking forward to the next one already! (more…)

Our senior infants and first classes have enjoyed their first term of literacy lift off which took place two or three mornings a week. The boys and girls are involved in two reading stations, a phonics station and a writing station. We are so lucky to have this worthwhile initiative still going strong after all these years. The pupils have great fun each day and love reading new books. (more…)

Our sixth class girls were successful in their first zoom debate this year. They were up against a team from St. Mary’s CBS Clonmel. The girls opposed the motion “Tik Tok has caused more harm than good to young people’s confidence”. Congratulations and best of luck for the next one.  (more…)

We were delighted to welcome Aoife from Rinka, who paid us a visit last Friday. Rinka is a children’s fitness programme that is non-competitive and just for fun. Some of our classes received a taster session, and had a whole lot of fun taking part in stretching exercises, obstacle courses and team games. Thank you Aoife and we hope to see you again. (more…)
