We celebrated World Book Day on Thursday 3rd March.  All classes enjoyed doing  a variety of fun activities and of course we all read lots of books.

We enjoyed making and eating pancakes on Tuesday. We did some writing describing how to make them as well.

A reminder that the school will close for the mid-term break on Thursday 24th and Friday 25th of February.  See the full school calendar below.

Updated School Calendar

5th & 6th Classes have been very busy working on their famine projects. They presented their work to the class and all the projects are now on display for everyone to see.

St. Valentine’s Day marked the start of our Friendship Week.  We have lots of activities planned for the week but the most important part will be all the acts of kindness and true friendship that will be on display in our classrooms and on the yard.

Tuesday February 8th is Internet Safety Day.

We have been doing lots of activities about how to stay safe while online.

There are lots of good ideas on the Webwise website which can be found at this link:  Webwise Safer Internet Day

All classes drew some very creative posters to raise awareness of internet safety. Our student council played a big part in promoting the day. Well done everyone!

We celebrated St. Brigid’s Day by making a variety of St. Brigid’s crosses throughout the school.

The senior classes joined our friends from Geashill Tidy Towns and some other community groups to help plant a new lime tree in the village in honour of St. Brigid.

They also took the opportunity to admire their beautiful St. Brigid art work which is on display in the village phone box.
