Ukulele Performance

22/05/2026 /

3rd Class marked their last Ukulele lesson with Karl, their Music Generation teacher, with a performance for their parents and the rest of the school. We were so proud of them! They played a wide variety of songs from A Sailor Went to Sea to Waka Waka from Shakira to Sweet Caroline! 

The Music Generation Discovering and Performing Music Programme is a great opportunity to try out an instrument and learn about what it takes to develop music skills. We hope that this has inspired some of our group to go further with their ukulele skills or maybe even take up another instrument.

Thank you to their teachers Ms Walsh, Ms Golden and Ms Gray for their support on the Ukulele adventure. 

Cheering on Cian and Jordan

08/05/2026 /

Today some of our classes walked to O’Boyle Park to cheer on the FTD brothers, Cian and Jordan as they began their Sligo leg of 32 marathons in Ireland in 32 days. 50% of all funds raised will go to The Alzheimer Society of Ireland, supporting families living with dementia. Read about their incredible story here on Ocean FM: https://www.oceanfm.ie/news/ftd-brothers-pass-1m-goal-ahead-of-sligo-marathon-1223766

Well done to Bernie and Enda and all of our parents who ran with them today!

Congratulations to all the children in 2nd class who are making their First Confession with Fr Noel in St Joseph’s Church this evening at 7PM. We are very proud of all the work you and your teacher and parents have done to prepare for this special occasion.

Sligo Woodland School Trip

23/03/2026 /

As part of our Heritage Keepers project this year we had the amazing opportunity to visit Sligo Woodland School for a day where we got to learn all about tress, nature and how and why it is important for us to protect it for future generations. We learned how to plant trees, chop wood, make sustainable toys and crafts from wood. We also got the opportunity to build our own shelters from wood, make skewers for roasting marshmallows and had lots of fun relaxing in hammocks and playing on the wooden swings.  Thank you so much to Trisha and team for facilitating such an amazing day.

 

Lá Glas

13/03/2026 /

Bhí an-spraoi againn ar scoil inniu ag ceiliúradh Lá Glas. We had great fun today celebrating Lá Glas. We all dressed up in green. We had a ceilí in the hall with other class groups. Some of our teachers played traditional Irish music instruments for us during the ceilí. It was a great way to finish off Seachtain na Gaeilge in our school. We hope you all have a lovely St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday. Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir.

 

 

 

Peer Tutoring in 3rd Class

10/03/2026 /

Peer tutoring is up and running in 3rd class and the children and enjoying the activities involved.

Peer tutoring involves the children being paired together – one working as a tutor and the other a tutee. Both tutor and tutee take turns in reading a book to each other – mainly fact / non fiction books. The tutee listens to the tutor read with good fluency. As the tutee reads, the tutor helps the tutee with any words they may be unsure of with the three Ps: Pause, Prompt and Praise.

Have a look at the children below as they read and work together.

World Book Day

10/03/2026 /

We celebrated World Book Day last Friday with our “Cosy and Comfy” day. Children were invited to bring their teddies, onesies, favourite blankets, pillows and books to school so that they could spend some time getting cosy with a good book. What a great day!

Indoor GAA Training

Gaelic Training

18/02/2026 /

Gaelic training has officially kicked off again and the energy has been fantastic! Well done to everyone who has been turning up and giving their best effort at training every Friday.

A special well done to our 4th class who have joined training for the very first time. You have made a brilliant start and it’s wonderful to see you getting involved, learning new skills and working together as a team.

At training we have been focusing on developing our football skills through fun drills and small-sided games, while also building teamwork, communication and confidence. The improvement each week has been excellent.

We are all really looking forward to the coming months when we will have the opportunity to play against other schools. Keep up the great work everyone!
