2022 23 calendar

We were super lucky to enjoy a visit from Colin from Flew to You today.

Colin and his owls and hawk visited all our classroom and taught us all about birds of prey and how to look out for our native barn owl.

Wednesday March 16th will see the return of our annual sponsored walk/St. Patrick’s Parade.

We have not held this since 2019 due to the events of the past two years so all the staff and children are really looking forward to it.

Our sponsored walk will take its usual route through and around the village and all members of the community are welcome to come out and watch as we pass by.

Afterwards, all children in the school will participate in a Céilí Beag ar an cuairt. All classes have been busy learning the words and actions to the Hócaí, Pócaí, An Haka Gaelach agus The Rattlin’ Bog. We can’t wait to see how they look and sound performed by all 140 pupils dressed in green. Fingers crossed the weather plays its part!

The day will culminate with a visit from the ice-cream man and all children are looking forward to their uachatar reoite glas.

All of the classes have been busy during Seacthain na Gaeilge learning their Frásaí na Seachtaine and they cannot wait to use their favourite one ‘Ba mhaith liom uachtar reoite glas le do thoil.’

School will close on Wednesday March 16th at 2.40pm and will reopen again on Monday March 21st as normal.

Wishing you all an enjoyable long weekend.
