Parent-Teacher Assosication Meetings

A reminder that the next meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association will be on Monday, 24th March at 9.00 in the staff room.  All parents are welcome.  We’ll be busy making preparations for the Spring Fair.  An online meeting will take place Thursday, 27th March at 18.30. 

Chess Tournaments

This week teams from our school participated in two chess tournaments.  The first was the Galway Shield Chess Competition.  Two teams participated, and one of our teams came in first place in the shield division of the competition, beating 22 other teams.  Today four children represented our school at a Girls’ Chess Competition, they came in 2nd Place and brought home trophies. 

Alice in Wonderland

Fourth class put on an amazing performance of Alice in Wonderland.  This modern and humorous adaptation was particularly special as it was truly created by the children, with one child writing the script, another composing a song and children taking on the roles of directing, choreographing and designing the set.  Well done and congratulations to 4th Class!

FAI 5-a-side Tournament

Two boys’ teams and two girls’ teams participated in the FAI 5-a-side Tournament last week.  All the children played really well, and for the first time, one of our schools ended up in a playoff situation, which bodes well for the future as the team was comprised mainly of players who will have another opportunity next year. 

Seachtain na Gaeilge

Cheiliúradh an scoil Seachtain na Gaeilge an tseachtain seo caite. Bhí gníomhaíochtaí iontacha ar siúl: ceachtanna corpoideachais trí mheán na Gaeilge do gach rang (cispheil agus peil Ghaelach) le Matt agus Fionnuala, tráth na gceist, tionól Gaeilge iontach, comórtas léitheoireachta agus dioscó sa chlós. (The school celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge this past week. A lot of activities took place including PE lessons in Irish for every class – basketball and Gaelic football – with Matt and Fionnuala, a table quiz, a fantastic Irish assembly, the end of our Irish reading competition and a disco with music in Irish in the yard.)
