We are very proud of budding young artist Callum in 2nd class. On 6th May, he shared his self-portrait with Mrs Lawlor’s class, that he drew himself at home and he spoke about his art and the process of drawing it. It is lovely to see such talent and confidence in someone so young and we hope you keep up your art Callum and look forward to seeing more art work by you in the future.

Ms Sorcha Ryan’s 3rd Class have been busy looking at Egypt and the Ancient Egyptians during April 2021, from looking at special souvenirs brought home from Egypt, to writing their names in Hieroglyphics, to making pyramids using cocktail sticks and play-doh, to putting together in pairs their own projects on Egypt and the Ancient Egyptians which they all presented to each other, to drawing Tutankhamun. It has been one busy month but very enjoyable!

In Mrs Edel O’Sullivan’s Junior Infants class, children are working on a Butterflies and Plants theme during April and May 2021.

Thanks so much to everyone who made an effort to walk, park and stride, scoot and cycle to schoolon 30th April 2021, on our Day of Action. Our bicycle stands were full. Children all wore high visibility bibs to school to highlight road safety as this is our Greenschool Travel flag year 2. Thanks to Angela Wall our Greenschool inspector and An Taisce National Spring Clean for dropping by the village this morning. She used a speed camera to do a survey of car’s speed through the village. She clocked frighteningly high speeds this morning  outside our gates at 8:30am! We wish traffic travelled slower, especially at school times. Classes have been litter picking all this week and we hope we have made a difference to our community by helping clean up. It was lovely to see familiar faces on the walk. 3rd class met Mrs Sugrue and Mrs O’Connor on their walk who both taught at our school. Thanks to John Higgins for taking what we collected from us. Thanks to Paudie our caretaker for getting all the bags together and bringing them to Higgins’ Waste. Thanks to Mr O'Connell for getting hands on and helping with the rubbish too! Well done to everyone and thank you all.
