Today Ms Walsh and Ms Drohan and the girls from Rang 3 and 4 put on their coats and hats and had a lovely walk to Bookworm. We were warmly welcomed by Johhny Butler. We had a lovely time choosing our books and we all came back to school happy with our purchases. Happy reading girls and remember the words of Dr Seuss
“You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax. All you need is a book”

The boys and girls in Ms. Gleeson’s First Class were busy this week planting potatoes, strawberries, carrots, lettuce, turnips and spinach as part of the Incredible Edibles programme. Through this programme the pupils learn about how plants grow and what is needed to ensure our crops survive. 

We look forward to harvest time!! 

Today at Assembly the pupils celebrated World Book Day by sharing their favourite books with the school. Well done to the brave pupils who stood up and presented their book reviews. We look forward to visiting Bookworm next week to cash in our book vouchers!

Spikeball is a relatively new sport and today, Thursday, 7th March, two teams from Presentation Primary School travelled to the impressive University of Limerick Sports Arena for the Spikeball Regional Finals. 

Spikeball is a simpler version of volleyball which allows players catch the ball as part of each play. Teams of four learn the skills of the ‘dig, set and spike’ just like volleyball.

Today our two teams represented the school with pride and enthusiasm. The Presentation Panthers were drawn in a challenging group alongside Ayle, Templemore and Ballyneale. The Presentation Pythons managed to win all three group games by defeating Kilinure, St. Enda’s and Shountrade NS. The Pythons were later beaten in the quarter final by St. Joseph’s Templemore.

The day was very enjoyable and a great experience for the girls. Well done to all!

On Wednesday the two teams put on a display for the pupils from first to sixth class. We hope that this will inspire some future stars to play what is a wonderful and inclusive game.

A wonderful night was had by all who attended Thurles Drama Group’s production of Alice’s Adventures in the New World. 

Lorna Healy was superb in the lead role of Alice and the all female cast really entertained the large crowd there.

Money raised on the night through the sale of tickets and the raffle was for the benefit of our school and we are delighted to let you know that, less expenses, €2525 was raised in total. 

Well done to all who helped make the night such a success and a sincere thank you to Thurles Drama group, not simply for a great night, but also for their generosity and support for Presentation Primary School.

A wonderful day was had by all in Presentation Primary School today as a packed hall enjoyed music, poetry, prayer and a trip down memory lane. Thanks to all who made it such a lovely day.

Here are some pictures from today’s Grandparents Day.
