Presentation of Cheques to Charities
On Wednesday last we were delighted to present 2 children’s charities with donations, totalling €4000, thanks to the success of our Pedal to the Peak fundraiser.
A presentation of a cheque for €2000 was made to Brendan Ring of Clíona’s Foundation and another €2000 was presented to Sinéad Nolan of CMRF Crumlin.
Thank you once again to everyone who donated so generously and those who supported Pedal to the Peak in any way.
South Finals
Well done to our boys and girls who completed in South Cumann na mBunscol finals this week.
Our teams met two very strong Ballylanders NS sides in Martinstown and unfortunately did not bring home a trophy on this occasion. Our teams deserve huge credit though for the way they played and their supporters and mentors were very proud of them.
In terms of Gaelic Games, attention now turns to hurling where 2019 will see teams participate in indoor hurling, INTO Mini 7s, camogie and 11 a side competitions. Before that, the school’s handballers will be in action in November in the South Primary Schools Handball Blitz.
Our girls will also represent the South division in the county finals of the INTO mini 7s sometime in the spring.

An Nuacht le Rang 2 agus 3
Bhain na páistí fíor-thaitneamh as an nuacht a léamh.
Bhí siad ag cleachtadh i rith na seachtaine agus d’úsáid siad “green screen” chun a físéan a chruthú. Is maith linn an Ghaeilge agus an teicneolaíocht!
2nd & 3rd Mark Roald Dahl Day
2nd and 3rd class have been looking at a lot of Roald Dahl’s work.
We have read ‘The Twits’ and are currently reading ‘The Witches’. For Road Dahl day we decided to come up with a book of our own pranks that the Twits pulled on each other!
As his book ‘Matilda’ is 30 years old this year, the class also took part in the Matilda challenge where some mysterious things started happening in the classroom…..have a look for yourself!
Irish Road Safety Week
Pupils receive High Viz jackets as part of Irish Road Safety Week.
The pupils in Junior & Senior Infants today received their High Viz jackets as part of Irish Road Safety week. Pupils in third and fourth received Road Safety goodies like pencils, rulers and colouring books while members of second class got some practice using the Safe Cross Code outside the school.
Star Awards – September
Congratulations to our Star Award winners for September!
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!
Boys Qualify for Final
Well done to our boys football team who have qualified for their Cumann na mBunscol final.
The team played 3 games this morning in Martinstown. Two hard earned wins from games against Knockainey NS and Athlacca NS were enough to secure a place in the Roinn B decider in a fortnight’s time. They will face Ballylanders NS who had the upper hand in our game today.
Fun with Conkers
Conkers & the Horse Chestnut Tree
Third & Fourth class pupils enjoyed learning about Horse Chestnut Trees during science today and had an opportunity to try a game of conkers.
The conkers were kindly donated by a pupil in third class.
