Over 40 pupils travelled to Ennis to take part in the Limerick Primary school athletics while our school’s hurlers competed in the South Cumann na mBunscol hurling blitz in Martinstown.
5th & 6th class recently completed some fantastic projects which are on display in the school’s corridors.
Last October, the class harvested seeds from the classroom Jack o’Lantern. In the last few weeks they have planted the seeds and watched them sprout into shoots and grow leaves. Today, they moved the plants into bigger pots to give them more room.
They also continued their study of the Normans and castles through their artwork. They used a foam/glue/paint combination to create a 3D effect castle.
This followed a previous art activity where they created a Norman knight. The excitement now builds ahead of their school tour to King John’s Castle next week!
One pupil from each classroom was selected by their class teacher and the award winners were presented with certificates at today’s assembly.
They were also given a night off homework for their efforts!
Congratulations to all our pupils on their great performances in the races!
Special congratulations to Declan and the team on this fantastic achievement.
Local club hurler Michael Whelan was on hand yesterday to assist in after school hurling training and as a result 30 pupils where hurling on a nice spring afternoon.
A welcome visitor to the training session was the County Under 21 Cup which Michael won with Hospital/Herbertstown on the previous Saturday night.
