February 2025

The boys and girls of 3rd class have had an extremely busy and productive month! The students have gotten through an abundance of work and are aiming high, as always!

Geography projects 

The students carried out research on European countries this month in SESE. Each group had to research one country that they were assigned, and they all presented their projects to the class. 

PE

In PE, the students have been training hard with their GAA coach Neil. He has been working on hurling skills with the class, and they have been loving it. In the hall, the boys and girls have also been learning some new gymnastics skills.

The Vikings

The class learned all about the Vikings in history. It was a topic they were really interested in. For Art, we decided to construct our very own Viking ships out of cardboard. 

Picker Pals

3rd class were chosen this year to be 'Picker Pals'. The 'Picker Pals'  have a very important job- they will collect any rubbish that is found outside around our school each week. Every week 2 students from 3rd class will inspect the grounds of our school for any rubbish and pick it up, using their pickers! Betty and Beau were first to do it this month! 

Well done 3rd class on another productive, hard-working month! 

Braveheart of the Wild!

The students of 3rd & 5th class recently performed their musical, 'Braveheart of the Wild' in the Mullingar Arts Centre! The musical was based on the story of the Jungle Book! Each student had a role to perform on the day, and each and every one of them did a phenomenal job! Maith sibh Rang a trí and Rang a cúig! 

'Braveheart of the Wild' musical

3rd class are so excited about their upcoming musical, 'Braveheart of the Wild', taking place this coming Tuesday. The students of both 3rd and 5th class have worked so hard over the last few months to put this amazing production together! Here are some posters that 3rd class made to advertise their special show! 

3rd/4th Class Girls Gaelic!

Well done to the 3rd and 4th Class girls' football team for their fantastic effort in the last match of the Peadar Lehane tournament. Although they came up short against a strong Boardsmill N.S. team in a hard-fought game, the girls have shown incredible improvement in their Gaelic skills and should be very proud of themselves! We've also had so much fun during training over the past few weeks!
