SPAR FAI Primary School 5s
Our boys and girls were unlucky to bow out of the FAI Soccer 5s in Corbally last week at the semi-final stage. Both teams were very unfortunate not to progress despite some excellent performances. Attention now turns to the upcoming primary school athletics and the Cumann na mBunscol hurling and camogie events.
Students Take to the Stage!
Before the Easter break, 3rd and 4th class performed ‘The Lion King’ which they had been rehearsing very hard for all term. Their acting, singing and dancing talents skills were clear to see in this production and both the audience and the performers enjoyed themselves!
5th & 6th class showcased the major events in Roald Dahl’s life and followed that up with a production of one of his most famous stories, Matilda. Much like the 3rd & 4th class, their efforts in preparation led to many memorable performances!
Eggcellent Easter Art

World Water Day
World Water Day
The school marked World Water Day in a number of different ways. The centrepiece of the day was a ‘Walk for Water’. The object of the walk was to highlight the distances people in certain parts of the world have to walk for water.
Over the previous few weeks, the children had brought in used plastic bottles. These bottles were filled using water from Barry the Barrel. The children then carried the water bottles on their walk around Herbertstown. The Walk was led by our water mascot, Spencer Sponge. Afterwards, the pupils brought their bottles home with them with the aim of using the water to water plants etc.
Below is a gallery of photographs from the day.
Prior to the walk, the junior infants joined forces with the pupils of the senior classroom to take part in a water themed quiz.
Lough Gur Clean Up
Some of our pupils travelled to Lough Gur recently to collect litter as part of our Green Schools Programme.
SPAR FAI Primary School 5s
Well done to our boys and girls teams who both made it through to the next stage of the SPAR FAI Primary school 5s today in Corbally.
