We held our Sports Day on the 16th June. As always this is a great day for the children and teachers. The kids were terrific at all the events. To reward the children for their hard work throughout the year the school organised the Americano Ice Cream van to come and treat the kids.
Junior Infants, Senior Infants and 1st class went to Turoe Pet Farm on their school tour on June 3rd. They played in the playground, fed the animals, made wishes in the wishing well and even practiced milking a cow! They all had a fantastic day.
Ms Madden’s room received a little pot of caterpillars in May. They watched them grow, they made a chysalis, and on June 8th out came five beautiful butterflies. After 2 days we set them free in the pitch.
4th, 5th, and 6th class had their school tour in Cuckoo Hill on June 3rd. They really got stuck in be it climbing huge hills, crawling through nets or jumping into bog holes. A really fun day had by all.
We had an active day in the school on 27th May. The school organised this as a treat to the children. Tommie Costello from Cuckoo Hill came to the school and took each class group. There was great fun and banter being had. The children were exhausted by the end of the day.
We were all so excited to celebrate Ms Madden’s special birthday with her. We all had a fun filled day!
The children had a Christmas party and played some fun games.
The children dressed up and had a fantastic Halloween party. Playing lots of fun games.
