Welcome back to Term 3

Welcome back everyone to our last term. We hope you all had a lovely Easter break and that the Easter bunny made a visit to all the boys and girls! Over the holidays the builders have been working hard on our new building. It looks fantastic.

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Tá Seachtain na Gaeilge at siúl ar scoil ó 1ú - 17ú Márta. Baineann gach múinteoir an úsáid as an Gaeilge an seachtain seo, le cluiche agus spraoi.

Gach lá cloisimid le beirt páistí ó ranganna difriúil ag caint at an "intercom".

Táimid ag glacadh páirt i gcomórtas ealaín agus tá gach duine ag tarraingt pictiúr le seanfhocail. 

Beidh "Lá Glas" againn ar an 14ú Márta agus beidh seans ag na bpáistí eadaí glas a caitheamh ar scoil. Beidh ceolchoirm ar siúl ar an lá sin le gach rang ag canadh amhrán agus ag insint dán.

Go néirí an t-ádh libh go léir!

First Confession

Well done to all the girls and boys in 2nd class who made their First Confession last week. 

World Book Day

We celebrated World Book Day on Thursday, March 6th. All pupils were invited to dress up as their favourite book character. The standard was fantastic and great effort went into all the outfits.

A winning costume was chosen from each class & the winners were presented with a certificate, voucher and new book. Well done to all the winners. The school enjoyed ten minutes of reading for enjoyment at 11am and took part in various book related activities throughout the day. It was certainly a day to remember!

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. It is a season of penance reflection and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday. We put ashes on our foreheads as a sign of our identity as Christians. The ash which we use on Ash Wednesday comes from burning the palms used on Palm Sunday last year. It is placed on our foreheads in the sign of a cross.
