Abbvie STEM prize winners

29/09/2025 /

A huge congratulation to 6th class students who took part in the Abbvie STEM prize for 2025 last school term. The aim of the competition was to inspire primary school pupils to think about challenges in their localities and to use skills learned in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math’s to come up with solutions that will make a positive impact. Our School took part in a beach clean up with Flossie and the Beach Cleaners who are a Dublin based environmental group who offer workshops and beach clean up days across the country. The children analyzed the rubbish they had found into categories, made pie charts and used their creative Science minds to design new equipment for younger people who take part in the beach clean ups. We were delighted to heat that we had won the prize of new Science equipment for the school, a fun interactive Science workshop in the school for kids and a funded trip to an SEAI research center as well as a visit to our local Abbvie plant nearby.

The infant classes had a great time when Sligo Library visited their classes for a story morning with songs and some sign language songs too. They read stories together and chatted about their favourite books and characters with Shannon from the Library..

Storytime – Senior Infants

27/02/2023 /

Our Senior Infants and Ms. Walsh are very excited about their Storytime Programme which starts today, Monday for 20 weeks.

Each child will take home a new book , every Monday and Thursday, to share and enjoy at home with a Parent/Guardian. By the end of the 20 weeks, each child will have brought 40 books home and shared ‘StoryTime’ with their family.

On Friday morning last, Senior Infant Parents were invited to The Parents’ Room to chat to Ms. Browne, to find out more about the Programme and to have a cuppa. We chatted about the importance of spending a few minutes every evening with our children, looking at a book – talking about the pictures, the characters, imagining a different endiong to the story etc.

We were then treated to a fabulous story by Ms.Grimes, who read to the Senior Infant Class in The Library.

We all loved the book ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ – thank you Ms. Grimes.

Remember to put away the phones and devices, find a quiet spot in your house and enjoy the book with your child.

Thursday is World Book Day and our Book Fair starts on Wednesday – the excitement is huge!! We love books and love to read – the greatest gift we can give our children is the gift of reading!
