First class took part in a Christmas scavenger hunt around the town. The boys and girls were delighted to be able to move outside of the school grounds. They each had their own scavenger hunt sheets and were able to tick off the various decorations that they saw down town. What a novel idea!!

Our Festive Fridays continued in first class. After working so hard all week, the boys and girls were rewarded with edible Christmas tree cones! They looked and tasted delicious.

Ms. Smith’s first class have been very busy at maths, learning about tens and units. They were very hands on and used links, cubes and lollipop sticks to make the different numbers. The matching game was a team effort and there were great discussions involved!!

Inspired by the Usborne series of books, Junior Infants created their own book using backgrounds they found on a walk through our school grounds. Mrs. Ryan was able to upload their photos and some text onto the interactive whiteboard for the children to read their very own book. What a lovely idea! (more…)

Junior infants have begun their countdown to Christmas with their Advent Calendar. They are adding to Santa’s beard each day, and when it’s full, it’ll be time for Santa’s arrival. (more…)

Second class have been busy decorating their classroom with their very own artwork. They came up with some wonderful festive ideas like the ones shown in the photos below. From Christmas trees to a snowmen huddle. Well done girls. (more…)

Waterford   by Ruby Flanagan.

Waterford my county, I love with all my heart. Nowhere can compare to it, from you I’ll never part.

The waving of the flags, the sea of blue and white. All your fans may not be present, but we will sing with all our might.

After waiting 61 long years, the Liam is in our sight. Limerick, I hope you are ready…You are in for one hell of a fight.

What a wonderful poem by our 6th class pupil Ruby Flanagan. What a very talented young lady! Let’s hope the Liam McCarthy Cup will be on it’s way back to the Déise.

The second of our Fun Fridays had to have the theme of Blue and White Day given the weekend that was in it. Who would have predicted that we would have Christmas decorations and Waterford bunting up at the same time!! The school was awash with blue and white. (more…)

Our two junior infant classes got their first taste of performing on stage. After many weeks of rehearsals, they took to the steps of the Assembly Area to perform their version of The Nativity. They were great to remember their lines and sung their songs with such enthusiasm. (more…)

Dance was our PE strand for the month of December. Once again our teachers had to adapt and keep the children in their pods. Ms. McGovern’s 5th and 6th class created their own dances, while Ms. O’ Keeffe’s 2nd class had a pod dance off. (more…)
