Friday was a busy day! The Star Pupil awards for February were presented, we weighed the coin collection buckets and also were busy training for the Volleyball regional finals which take place in Kilkenny on Monday. Well done to third class. Their coin collection bucket was the heaviest after a month of coin gathering. A whopping 133Kg of coin was collected in total and we’ll let you know the total value once it’s counted…. which may take a while! Thanks to everyone who donated. Thank you to Ms. Gleeson’s First Class and Ms. Bourke’s Third Class who presented their projects Read more

Four very kind Junior Infant pupils hand delivered a pancake just for me…so thank you for that!

The girls in Second Class have been learning all about Weight this week in Maths. They have been estimating and measuring how heavy items are using grams and kilograms. They have used both the scales and the balance. Well done girls!

Here’s another chance to enjoy a sample of our choir singing ‘World in Union’ at our Grandparent’s Day this year. Thanks to Ms. Healy and Mrs. Healy for their work in preparing the girls.

The plan, which can be seen on our website, goes through all the steps which need to be completed to ensure this plan works. Firstly Read more

The recent snow provided a welcome distraction from the classroom as the children got the chance to throw some snowballs and enjoy the novelty of a white playground.
