Thanks very much to Emer in Lisdoonvarna for organising a super quiz for the Senior Room based on the Harry Potter series. 
All children are taking part in Clare Sport’s Partnership’s ‘Active Homework Challenge’ where children complete different exercises each night as part of their daily homework. Here they are learning some of the exercises, stretches and doing some zumba dances!
Today is the first day of Food Dudes! Food Dudes is an award winning curriculum-linked evidence-based healthy eating programme, developed to encourage children to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. It is based on repeated tastings of fresh fruit and vegetables, rewards and positive role models. Each day children are given different fruits and vegetables to try. Baby corn and apples today! 
Children in the Senior Room have been learning about Isaac Newton and the effect of gravity on objects and our body. They had different tasks to try and complete, some were harder than others! 
Children in 1st and 2nd class explored the school grouns documenting the weather, plants, animals and insects they found. They will do this again in Spring and Summer and compare results! 
Happy Christmas and New Year to all our students and their families! School reopens 6th January. 
Congratulations to Eoghan Burke who was presented with the John Joe Scanlon Perpetual Trophy by Pater.

Mrs. McBride visited our school to read the junior and senior room some Christmas stories! Thank you for spreading some Christmas cheer before the holidays!
The children really enjoyed going to see the panto ‘Aladdin’ in the UCH in Limerick. We stopped at McDonald’s on the way home. A great day out!
