Children from Junior infants to 2nd class had a great time at Bunratty for their school tour on the 1st of June. They got to meet the animals that lived there, visit some of the old cottages and the school house, explore the fairy village and play in the playground!
The children have just finished a six week course of gymnastics with Magda. They learned so many new skills and really enjoyed it!
The girls football team narrowly missed out in a place in the final of the schools football. They played very well against a strong Holy Family team and we are very proud of them.
Come and visit our school garden where you will see lots of little creatures made by the children!
The children collected stones from the river and painted them to decorate our garden, Many thanks Ali for all your hard work.
Our hurling team went to Ennistymon to participate in a hurling blitz. They enjoyed playing against many different teams and had great success!
Michael Browne visited the Senior room to conduct some experiments on heat. The children had great fun and the experiments allowed the children to challenge their perceptions and knowledge of heat.
The children planted spinach, carrots and peas with Ali. Some were planted in the garden and some the children could bring home. Children in the Junior room explored the different plants growing in the garden as part of science class.
Also many thanks to Jackie for building our beautiful raised bed for our strawberries. We planted them with and are looking forward to picking them already!
As part of the Explorers Education Program, Carmel Madigan visited our school on the 23rd April to talk to the children all about Marine life. She returned a week later to bring the children on a beach safari. The children really enjoyed finding and collecting sea creatures and some won prizes for finding the most unusual marine life!
