Children in the Junior Room participated in an Olympians Live webinar with Olympic gold medalist Rhys McClenaghan. They first heard Rhys speaking about his Olympic journey and then enjoyed a dance along with him and his Dancing with the Stars partner.
Very hard luck to our boys who were beaten by a strong Kilfenora-Kilshanny team in their final yesterday. They put up a super effort and will be back in Cusack Park again no doubt!
Children in both rooms are enjoying their series of dance webinars with All Abilities Ireland
Very well done to our girls teams who competed in the Cumann na mBunscol blitz this week. Unfortunately they did not progress to the semi finals but they played three great games of football, emerging victorious in two!
Great game today by our senior boys who now advance to the Cumann na mBunscol finals in Cusack Park
Very well done to our children who took part in the North Clare Cross Country trials last week in Lees Road. They all ran their hearts out. A special well done to Freddie and Pia who qualified for the County finals at the end of the month.

Many thanks to Dermot who organised a fantastic blitz for 3rd-6th class of local schools to come together and play in a non-competitive environment.
We took advantage of the lovely weather for some outdoor learning on the beach today. First the children had their daily running practice on the dunes, had a picnic for lunch on the beach and finished with a visual arts lesson on observational drawing.
The sun was out once again for our annual Sports Day! The children were in teams and participated in many different activities. Tug of war was the highlight of the day with Teachers Vs 6th Class and Girls Vs Boys! Many thanks to Pat for supplying chips and all those who brought baked goods for after. It was great so see so many past pupils and parents come to enjoy the day.
As part of history and procedural writing in English, the senior room interviewed their grandparents/older family members about games they played growing up, wrote the instructions, and the class enjoyed playing the games with each other!
