We are delighted to see so many birds visit our bird feeder ….especially the colourful goldfinches and siskins! A special thanks to our caretaker Eddie who keeps the feeders topped up!

The Parents’ Council are holding a Cake and Book Sale in the school hall on Saturday 2nd March from 12pm to 3pm.  All support appreciated.

Congratulations to our junior quiz team who came third in the Tullamore Credit Union Quiz held recently.  In a very close contest they finished in a tie for second with three other schools.  Following six tie break questions in total they finished in third place.  Well done to all the children from both the junior and senior teams for their hard work over the last couple of weeks.

Today, in Miss Walsh’s room we made St. Brigid’s Day Crosses using rushes.

We had a wonderful day on Wednesday when we welcomed our grandparents to the school for Grandparents’ Day.

Following a short prayer service our guests visited their grandchildren in their classrooms where they answered questions, played music, sang, played board games, knitted and performed card tricks. The children loved showing their grandparents examples of their work as well as entertaining them with some songs, music and poems.

The day ended with some tea and coffee in the hall.

Look….we found tesselation in our classroom.

We were weighing using a balance.

Once again this year to mark Catholic Schools’ Week, children from 1st to 6th Classes will be singing in the choir at 7.30 Mass in Raheen Church on Saturday February 2nd.

We are looking forward to welcoming as many grandparents as possible to our Grandparents’ Day on Wednesday 30th January.  There will be a prayer service in the school hall at 11.15am.  Then grandparents can visit their grandchildren in their classrooms.  Tea and coffee will follow.  We would love any grandparent who plays music, sings or has another talent to share them with the children on the day.
