Check out what’s happening at Herbertstown N.S.
Local coaches Shane Markham & Pádraig O’Dea from Hospital/Herbertstown GAA club visited the school on Monday and presented the staff & pupils with cones, hurleys, sliotars and gaelic footballs for the year ahead. Thank you to Hospital/Herbertstown for their continued support of Gaelic Games in the school.
4th/5th class helped to further their understanding of 2D shapes through some fun maths stations this week.
Tina Stokes(chairperson) and Deirdre O Donoghue (secretary) presented the new device to pupils today.
The cup was awarded to Hospital/Herbertstown following a very entertaining blitz in Hospital. Harry was also remembered earlier in the year by the awarding of a cup to the winners of the South Limerick Primary Schools 3rd & 4th class tournament.
It was great to have the two cups present in the school as Harry was so heavily involved in coaching both in the club and the school.
An extra award, decided on by Ms O’Dwyer and Mrs. Brosnan, is presented to pupils for a particular act of kindness or to pupils who have completed an exemplary piece of work in school. Well done to the latest recipient of this award.
The level of effort and determination shown by all participants was very high in what was a new type of event for the majority of our pupils.
A team will now be drawn up to represent the school at the Limerick Primary Schools Cross Country event in October.
