Easter Raffle / Food Bank Collection

Written by

We are so incredibly proud of our amazing student council! They have worked tirelessly over the past few weeks organising our Easter Raffle and Food Collection for Carrickmacross Food Bank. We filled over 50 bags of groceries and treats for local families to enjoy over the Easter holidays. Thank you to all of the students and parents who have supported this cause, we are very lucky to have such a generous population in our small school!
Thank you to Kathleen from Carrickmacross Food Bank who came to collect the items. The work that they do for local people is absolutely outstanding – we are lucky to have such kind people amongst us.
Congratulations to our raffle winners – Teagan, Kelsie and Oisín.

Construction projects were simply outstanding as these photos clearly show.

Real-life Maths took the pupils to measuring many distances around the school building. Lots of fun with this one! As part of our Shape strand 5th & 6th class also engaged in a variety of shape-based activities such as making 3D shapes and working with tangrams from which unique designs emerged.

We are all very proud of our 6th class who made their Confirmation on 25th March. Congratulations to you all and we hope you had a memorable weekend of celebrations with your families.

Happy Easter one and all and we look forward to our last term together in April!!

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day 2023 from 1st and 2nd Class

Written by

This year we celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day by having a Saint Patrick’s themed week in our classroom, from Monday 13th – Thursday 16th March 2023. We learned about the life and legend of Saint Patrick in our religion and history lessons. We also learned about how Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated here and around the world. In ‘Gaeilge’,we learned lots of vocabulary linked to Saint Patrick’s Day, played some games to practice our vocabulary and made some lovely Saint Patrick’s Day headbands. For maths, we completed Saint Patrick’s themed maths challenges and Saint Patrick’s Day symmetry. We  made Saint Patrick’s Men for art. On Thursday, we all wore something green to school, to mark this very special occasion. 

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to Everyone!!!!
