A Busy February in the Senior Classroom
February was full of activity and hands‑on learning for our senior students.
Swimming Success:
Pupils from 3rd to 6th Class completed a six‑week swimming programme with Woodlands Swim Academy. Everyone was thrilled to finish the block by proudly earning their Swimming Excellence Certificates!
Creative Arts:
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the children created beautiful “Love Birds” artwork using drawing and painting techniques. Their colourful pieces brightened up our classroom!
Science Explorations:
In SESE, we dove into the digestive system and carried out an investigation on how bile breaks down fat. The class also completed a fascinating Tooth Decay Experiment using eggshells to represent tooth enamel. By observing the effects of different drinks, students learned valuable lessons about how to care for their teeth.
Maths with Technology:
The chrome books continue to be a hit, especially when used for “Blooket,” a fun and interactive way to revise and reinforce maths concepts.
It was an exciting month of learning, creativity, and discovery—well done to all our senior students!

Confirmation
10th February 2026
Comhgairdeas mór do Rang a Cúig is Rang a Sé! They made their confirmation on Tuesday 10th of February, alongside their counterparts from Croagh NS. As usual they represented the school well, with superb readers, musician and singers. Many thanks to Ms Chawke and Ms Moloney (Croagh NS) for preparing the confirmation classes. We are also very grateful to James Anglim and Mrs O'Mahony for their work with the choirs from both schools. And last but not least a big go raibh maith agaibh to Bishop Fleming, Fr John and Fr Paul for celebrating the sacrament of Confirmation with our community. We all enjoyed the message of the homily where Bishop Fleming impressed upon us the need to "practise" kindness. Like any skill, it gets better the more we use it!
