The classes throughout the school explored a variety of science tasks and experiments as part of Science Week 2025. Here is a look at what we got up to:

1st and 2nd class enjoyed a well earned treat - a cosy pyjama day!

The boys and girls from junior infants to 6th class have been enjoying our weekly mindfulness classes with Kelly from Mindful me, Mindful you. We are learning about our emotions, how to regulate our emotions and taking part in a variety if mindfulness based activities.

On Friday we held our annual Green Halloween Day. On this day we encourage all the boys and girls to design and make their own costumes from recycled materials or things that can be found around the house. A massive effort was made by all and it was a very scary but enjoyable day!

The boys in the Shining STARS class had a fantastic day out at the FAI Football for all blitz. This was hosted by the Cavan Sports Partnership.

3rd and 4th Class pupils have been busy developing their maths and problem-solving skills using the IZAK9 cubes. The IZAK9 cubes are a fun, hands-on resource that encourage children to work together, think creatively, and use their maths knowledge in new and exciting ways. The colourful cubes challenge pupils to solve puzzles involving number, shape, pattern, and logical reasoning — all while promoting teamwork and communication. Well done to everyone in 3rd and 4th Class for their enthusiasm and great teamwork during our IZAK9 sessions!

We had a very successful day at the Co. Cavan Cross Country Competition today. Well done to all the boys and girls who took part! Congratulations to the intermediate and senior girls teams who came second in their group and to Caolán who came 10th overall in the intermediate boys. Well done all!

The Shooting STARS worked together to bake some delicious rice krispie buns. These tasty treats were enjoyed while celebrating some birthdays in our class.
