6th Class have begun their six-session block of cycle safety training. The course is aligned to Cycle Right, the National Standard for Cycle Safety Training in Ireland. The course is delivered by qualified trainers from the national register. The girls are thoroughly enjoying learning how to cycle safely. They will put all their new skills to the test at the end of the six sessions, when they take a trip around the town.

A huge well done to our Sixth Class girls who successfully hosted the annual Farewell Fair on Friday, 2nd May. The event was organised to raise funds for their graduation hoodies, and their hard work and careful planning truly paid off.

The entire school enjoyed visiting the halla, which was filled with a vibrant array of stalls. From nail painting and book sales to delicious crepes, waffles, baked goods, and much more, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks to their fantastic efforts and the generous support of our school community, an impressive total of €1,280 was raised!

A heartfelt thank you to all parents and students who kindly donated baked goods, toys, and books. Your contributions helped make the day such a great success.

Bhíomar ag ceiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge i rith mhí an Mhárta. Bhí an oiread sin ar siúl don tseachtain speisialta seo. D’oibrigh na cailíní chomh dian sin chun Gaeilge a labhairt gach lá. Ghlac na cailíní páirt i gcéilí le Carmel. Léann siad do na naíonáin i nGaeilge freisin. Ghlac siad páirt i gciorcal cainte, tráth na gceist agus maidin caife. Seachtain thar cionn a bhí ann lán le Gaeilge.

The girls engaged in many activities during World Book Week to promote reading. They took part in a Book Tasting. They read to the infants and created games related to their chosen books. They visited the library. They even had the challenge to Guess The Teacher. However, Friday was the main day when the girls dressed up as their favourite characters. It was a brilliant week for all.

The girls took part in a Book Tasting during World Book Week. They got the opportunity to explore each other’s favourite books as well as books that they would recommend. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

The girls had some exciting visitors last week. The wonderful Agri Aware Mobile Farm paid a visit to our school. We opened up our yard to some pigs, a sheep and her lamb, a calf, some geese, hens, chickens and a beautiful goat named Popcorn. The girls learned about each animal, from their natural habitat to their role in food production. It was both an educational and hands-on experience.

Grandparents’ Day takes place during Catholic Schools Week. It celebrates all the wonderful grandparents and affirms and values their place not only in the lives of their grandchildren, but in the community in general. The girls thoroughly enjoyed showing the grandparents around their classroom and displaying all their fabulous work they have done so far this school year. The girls played Mo Ghile Mear, Dawning of the Day and The Rattlin Bog. Everyone joined in for their song ‘Grace’, I am sure this will be a memory to hold onto forever.

Some girls from 5th and 6th Class got the exciting opportunity to take part in the Féile Fichille tournament this year. It was held in Gaelscoil Nás na Ríog. The girls represented the school as part of teams. They used their amazing chess skills and strategies to compete in six rounds of chess. It was a brilliant way to perform and build on their own knowledge of chess. It was a non-competitive and fun-filled day for all.
