Diary Cover

Next year's diary cover was decided upon recently.

The sixth class were asked to put forward their entries for the diary cover. After a lot of deliberating over all the diary covers, all of which were a very high standard, Caoimhe's entry was third, Sarah's was second but the winning entry was Grace's!

Well done Grace. Her art piece will adorn the covers of the diary entry next year!

Active Schools Week - Friday

Friday, the last day of Active Schools Week, saw the entire school go on a collective walk.

What was estimated to be 5 kilometres in distance was covered by all classes from Junior Infants to 6th class.

On what was a relatively warm day, the classes left the school at 11.20, went up through the Meadows, down by Wood Lane, through the heart of the village to the back GAA pitch and then back to the school via Wood Lane.

All enjoyed the walk and the break from the usual academic subjects. Well done all on the walk and well done all on the successful week!

Active Schools Week - Thursday

Thursday in Active Schools Week saw the visit of Paul Fagan, inter county hurler to the school.

Paul, goalkeeper on the Meath senior hurling panel visited all classes from 1st to 6th and spoke to them about the importance of being active and about eating the right foods, particularly on match days.

All the classes thoroughly enjoyed his talk and had plenty of questions for Paul about his own experiences.

Thanks again to Paul for coming in and sharing his experiences and advice!!

Active Schools Week - Wednesday

Wednesday saw the visit of Liam Foley to the school.

Liam is a Special Olympian who represented Ireland in the Special Olympics in Los Angeles in 2015, winning two bronze medals, a silver medal and a gold!

Liam, son of the former Meath footballer Kevin, visited all the classes and showed them his PowerPoint detailing his sports involvement and achievements. His journey is an inspiration to all and all the classes and teachers were thoroughly engaged throughout.

Thanks again to Liam for coming in!

Also, as part of Active Schools Week, the sixth class have been dancing with different classes at lunch time. Take a look at the dancing exploits with the Infants- we're not sure who enjoyed it more!!

Well done to the sixth class for sharing their dancing skills with the various classes!
