Well done to both our girls and boys teams today who played their hearts out in Islandeady for the quarter finals of the Cumann na mBunscol. Unfortunately, it was not to be for either team today. We would like to congratulate Errew girls and Crimlin boys teams and wish them the very best in the semi-finals. We look forward to our next football outing on Clare Island in June. A huge thank you to Martin Conway, Pat Gavin and Joe Dawson for coaching the teams to such a high standard and to all our supporters who came to cheer for us on the day.
Congratulations to our first and second class pupils who made their First Holy Communion this weekend. It was a beautiful celebration enjoyed by everyone. A huge thank you to Ms Hester for all she did to make it so special for the children. We had a great gathering back at the school after mass. We are so thankful to our wonderful parent body for organising this. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful community in Carrakennedy NS.
We have been working collaboratively over the past few weeks to complete a 500-piece puzzle of The Cliffs of Moher. It was a tedious task which took a lot of teamwork and patience. We are so proud of the finished product and look forward to framing it and hanging it in the school. We will now begin working on our 1000-piece puzzle and hope to have it completed by 22nd June!
We had a wonderful day at the Westport area Cumann na mBunscol blitz held in Westport today. Today was a special occasion as the family of the late Tommy O’Malley have donated two shields to be presented to the winners of the Division 5 Westport area competition each year. We are so proud of both our boys and girl’s teams who won the shields today and have made it through to the quarter finals. Wishing them the best of luck in the next round.
We rounded off Seachtain na Gaeilge with a Lá Glas in our school- we had great fun dancing at the céilí and really enjoyed the Tráth na gCeist. Comhghaideas do ghach duine. Táimíd an- bhródúil asaibh.
