Congratulations to our 6th Class pictured above with their teacher Ms Rahill and Bishop Deenihan who received the Sacrament of Confirmation on Thursday 22nd of February in St Brigid’s Church Ballinacree. We pray that the Gift of the Holy Spirit will guide and direct them in the years ahead.
Christmas week was a busy one in 5th and 6th Class! We were delighted to walk to the village and meet local artist Colette Kearney in her pop-up shop. Colette very kindly showed us around her shop and talked us through her artwork and the process behind her work. She also explained the history behind the shop and that it was once a butcher’s shop. Thank you Colette!
We also joined with other children in the school to have a busking session on our yard at breaktime. Tinwhistle, flute, guitar and a music box were just some of the instruments played.
5th and 6th Class pupils wrote a Christmas card for every resident of the Sheelin Nursing Home. We hope they enjoy reading their cards and have a lovely Christmas.
Our 5th and 6th Class completed a 6 week cycle safety course with Cycle Right. The chidlren were taught how to move safely as a cyclist in complex and changing road environments in their locality. Well done to all the children who completed the course with some on-road cycling.
On Friday 20th we finished up Maths week in style with our Buddies. We had a Connect-4 station, an interactive pattern station, bowling, beanbag throw and a memory station. We had great fun!
The children each received a country that is competing in the World Cup. They completed a project based on their country and presented these to the class.
