Well done to our 5th class members on their successful hurling tournament at the weekend, captain for the tournament and man of the match!

Our senior room girls and boys were in action this week in Lisdoonvarna and Corofin respectively. Well done to all involved, it wasn’t our day but lots of fun was had by everyone

The children in the junior room were working with clay this week and in keeping with our autumn theme, made their own hedgehogs. Well done children for some wonderful creations

The children also worked with paint and colour in the creation of their autumn trees. Beautiful and very autumnal indeed!

Mr Potato Head!!!

As part of Irish Sign Langauge (ISL) awareness week, the children in the senior room have been learning some sign language words and phrases all week and put them into practice with some conversations through sign language today

We would like to wish our Principal, Ms Scales a very happy “Big Birthday”! We hope she has a lovely day 🎂

The 13th of September is the birthday of Roald Dahl and celebrates all that is wonderful about this much loved author and his timeless stories. We had lots of activities to mark the day today including a book reading session with the senior room reading to the juniors

As part of the seniors room history topic ‘Schools in the Past’ the children got the chance to carry out some research using the old school roll books. They were very excited to find the names of their parents, aunts and uncles and neighbours among the students of years gone by

The children have also completed projects based on school life in the past, from carrying out research into hedge schools to interviewing parents and neighbours about their school days. The resulting presentations were both informative and engaging, well done 3rd, 4th and 5th class!
