Christmas in the Past

Many thanks to Úna Kilrane who came in to talk to the Junior and Middle Rooms today about Christmas in the past! It was great to hear a first-hand account of life long ago and she also had photographs to show the children of Wren Boys, clothes worn and more! Well done to the boys and girls for asking such great questions too!

The children are also learning about toys in the past. Juniors and Seniors got to explore toys from the past today:

History Trip To Newgrange & The Battle of The Boyne Visitor Centre

3rd-6th class enjoyed a wonderful history trip to Newgrange & The Battle of The Boyne Visitor Centre last Monday.


We really enjoyed our excursion & we all learned so much about our rich local history!

Proclamation Day

Today was Proclamation Day, an important day where all of the schools in Ireland take time to commemorate 1916, celebrate the present and imagine the future. The students in Mr. Larke's room have worked hard on interesting and informative projects about 1916 and the events leading to Ireland becoming the Republic it is today. They have also created a Proclamation for a New Generation for St. Patrick's N.S., which you can see, along with the other proclamations from around Ireland, on scoilnet.ie.

Ben Ryan read an explanation of the word 'proclamation' and then Elliot read our proclamation: 

 Eleanor raised the national flag and the whole school sang our national anthem, Amhrán na bhFiann.

Isabella then spoke about our Active School Flag and mentioned how it was won by the whole school working together. We sang our Active School Song and Matthew Love raised the flag.
