Hollywood came to Geashill last week when 5th and 6th Classes took part in a mini-movie project. As well as acting, they learned about sound, camera work and much more besides. This project was funded by Offaly County Council. The movie will be shown as part of the Offline Film Festival in October.
Some of our pupils from 6th Class took part in a VEX robotics competition on Tuesday 29th April. Following weeks of preparation both our teams represented the school very well.
Well done to our girls who along with the girls from Cloneygowan NS beat Daingean in a camogie match on Wednesday 30th April.
Ms. Bourke’s class has been learning about toys from the past in History.
We had great fun in school on Friday as all classes took part in our Mini Tractor Run. Thanks to everyone who dropped in scooters, go carts, tractors etc. Thanks also to everyone who has collected money and returned sponsorship cards over the last fortnight.
Well done to our pupils who won medals in the Community Games art and handwriting competitions. It’s great to see the tradition of success in these competitions continue among our pupils.
Well done to our boys who took part in our first ever hurling match against Cloneygowan today. While the result didn’t go our way the match was played in a great spirit and well done to both teams.
History was made today as these Geashill girls played in our first ever camogie match. Playing in the colours of our local camogie club, St. Sinchill’s, and alongside our friends from Cloneygowan NS we took on Scoil Bhríde, Edenderry. While the result didn’t go our way all the girls gave it everything and look forward to the next game.
Eimear our GAA coach has started hurling coaching again every Friday. All classes have been taking part and it’s great to see the progress being made.
We’re also looking forward to playing our first hurling and camogie matches in the next few weeks and we have been training hard in preparation.
Bhain an scoil go léir taitneamh as an Lá Glas inniu, le haghaidh Seachtain na Gaeilge. Bhí rince Gaelach, amhráin, ceoil agus craic againn i rith an lae. Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig oraibh go léir.
