This week, pupils explored the story and traditions of St Brigid and helped keep this important cultural practice alive by weaving St Brigid’s Crosses. Here is an excellent example of the beautiful work completed by our 6th Class 

We were very fortunate to have Roisin O Regan from Irish Water Safety visit our classes on 18th Nov to teach us all very important lessons on water safety . We learned how to use ring bouys properly , the importance of wearing life jackets when on boats or around the waters edge ,and also what to do in an emergency . Senior classes were also taught how to escape from rip tides and how to recognise the presence of rip tides .  Thank you Roisin .

This year we signed up to a new reading initiave to co-incide with our Book Fair this year . The children signed up online  and pledged to read every night for 3 weeks and received sponsorship from their friendsw and families . This was a great success and many children developed a new love of reading . A total of €2300 was raised , which will be put towards   the school. Our scholastic book fair  also took place in October . This also raised €1600 in free books for the school . Thank you to all who took part in both initiaves - your support is very much appreciated .
