Bhí na páistí ag canadh, ag damhsa agus ag spraoi!

Well done to all the boys and girls from 5th and 6th who took part in the Tag Rugby blitz today in Dooradoyle. Thanks to Éilis Crampton and Kay Healy for taking them.

On Thursday 2nd March the school celebrated World Book Day and on Friday 3rd March many children came to school as their favourite book character. All classes got time to do Paired Reading, where a child from an older class gets an opportunity to read with a child from a younger class, which was enjoyed by all.

The school also celebrated 30 years of Where’s Wally!

Many thanks to the Parent’s Council who cooked Pancakes for all the children and teachers in the school on Shrove (Pancake) Tuesday 28th February.

Congratulations to the boys and girls of Junior and Senior Infants  for their wonderful performance of the Landlord’s Cat.

‘The Landlord’s Cat’ tells the story of the Nativity through the eyes of a cat!  The landlord’s cat is so fed up with the hectic atmosphere in Bethlehem, and being ignored by his owner, that he is on the verge of leaving town. However, with the arrival of Mary and Joseph in the stable, as well as wise men and shepherds, the cat (being a wily and intuitive creature), senses that something very special is about to happen. Naturally he is determined to find out just what it is.

A big thank you to their teachers Ms. Griffin and Mr. Ó’hAnluain and all those who helped to make the performance a great success.

Well done to the boys and girls of First and Second Class for their wonderful performance of It’s a Baby.

A Nativity with a difference, tells the traditional story from the perspective of a weary innkeeper. Thanks to all parents for their help and support throughout. Well done to their teachers Mrs. Harnett and Mr. McCarthy. Thanks also to  Phyl Hegarty, Kay Healy and Siobhán Smith.

5th Class had a great day on Tuesday 13th December at the Newport College Table Quiz. All teams participated well with the team consisting of Siobhán Cooke, Roisín Coleman, Grace Ross, Nicole Kirwan and Evan O’Dwyer coming in third place. Well done to all!

Many thanks to Colm O’hAnluain and Denis White for all their hard work in putting up the new curtain in the School Hall. Thanks to Suzanne Holmes for providing the curtain and the Parents’ Council for donating funds towards it.
