Christmas School News
All classes have been very busy working towards Christmas. They have been practising carols, prayers and a play for the Christmas Service. They have also been creating some beautiful Christmas artwork, as well as working very hard at their school work Here is some class news!
Elf on the Shelf
The elf on the shelf has visited some classes in our school during the month of December. Lucky has visited First Class and Elfie has visited Second Class. They done lots of funny things. This is what Second Class has to tell us about their elf!
We have an elf on the shelf. He does something everyday. He put lollies where everyone sits, read a book and he took chocolate from the boys advent calendar! He also wrapped toilet roll around the Christmas tree, sat in the sweet box and gave us all chocolate coins. The elf on the shelf has so much fun! We love seeing what he does everyday!
Third Class are very excited about Christmas!
Third Class are looking forward to the Carol Service and cannot wait for Santa to come. They will be playing Silent Night on the tin whistle. They have worked very hard to learn the notes and they enjoy playing the tin whistle. They have had a very good year so far and are looking forward to next year. Happy Holidays to all and have a great New year!
Fourth Class recap on the year so far!
As Term One draws to a close we have enjoyed the work in Fourth Class. We have had some great fun in Art construction of local businesses, SPHE with our secret friend challenge, Folens Maths games online. Also for procedural writing we made some pepper mints in class, it was great fun and they were scrumptious. We are looking forward to Christmas and Santa coming!

Green School’s News
Season’s greetings everyone from all the Green School Committee. We have recently been revisiting our litter, waste and energy flags in the school to ensure everything is running smoothly. A little housekeeping is essential to remind all the new pupils and existing ones of what goes where. It is hoped that pupils will bring this message home.
Christmas is only around the corner and unfortunately a phenomenal amount of packaging results in our households. Try to recycle where possible especially plastic, cardboard and aluminium. The local recycling centre (beside the library) takes your bottles and cans. The larger centres in both Drogheda and Dundalk take an incredible variety of household waste. They even take your old Christmas trees as well as batteries and only cost €2 entry fee. Many of the discount stores stock bird feeders and competitively priced bird food – an essential at this time of year and especially into spring when the cold weather can really affect their population.
Have a Greener Christmas, The Green School Committee.
