We came to school dressed in our Christmas jumpers today to raise money for the Gina Heraty Foundation in Haiti. The children were very generous with their donations and we are thrilled to be able to present Gina with €245. Gina said she will get some ice-cream for a treat for the children at Christmas.
We were delighted to welcome Gemma Hensey to the school today when she was delivering out Grandparents’ Chat books. We loved being part of this project and are very proud to see our pieces in the book. A great Christmas gift for our loved ones. Thank you Gemma for inviting us to be part of this initiative.
Well done to the Senior room pupils who performed in The Town Hall on Saturday night alongside some of the pupils in Brackloon NS for the Festive Harmony concert.

We were delighted to be back on stage with our Christmas Play Lights, Camel, Action 2 The Sequin.

The Junior Room had a great day at the Linenhall for The Polar Bear and the Penguin. We even got to stop off at the playground for a quick play on the way.
We celebrated all things science this week and worked as scientists and meteorologists. The results from our weather records were unbelievable. It was a very wet week and a total of 156mm of rain fell. Strom Debi paid us a visit and we were under an orange weather warning. We also had great fun with experiments and also the Scientific Sue workshop.
We had great fun this week planting seeds in the garden. We also did a big tidy up before the Winter sets in. Like the animals we like to hibernate a little and take it easy!
