We had a Crazy Hair Day on February 13th to help our Parents Association raise funds for the school. It was great fun!
Derek & Jessica were busy making Valentine’s Hearts with Ms. Moroney. They turned out really well!
THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL IN OUR SCHOOL!
3rd class have made a super effort with handwriting and some children will be graduating to pen after mid-term! Look at the wonderful display of neat and careful handwriting and some very tasty recipes. Keep up the great work everyone. Do you see yours? If you click on a photograph it becomes bigger and you can see the work better.
All pupils took part in our annual sponsored walk. It was a beautiful day and perfect for this event. Lots of Mums, Dads and Grandparents also joined us. Here are some of the photos taken during the walk. Thank you to all who sponsored us, we really appreciate your support and commitment. You can enlarge a photograph by clicking on it!

We were really lucky have a Eoghan Macgiolla Choda, a local bee keeper visit our school with 1000 bees!!!! We learned lots: for example – the honey bee is black and is very common in Ireland; it takes the pollen of 2,000,000 dandelions to make one jar of honey; there is only one queen bee in any colony; the queen bee is 50% larger than the other bees and lays about 1,000 eggs a day; the queen lives for 5-6 years; the other bees (drones) live for about 6 weeks. Eoin the bee keeper has 150 hives with 40,000 bees in each one. Here are some photos of the visit.
