F.A.I. Soccer 5-a-side Competition

A total number of thirty-eight boys and girls from Scoil Mhuire N.S. participated in the FAI Primary 5-a-side Competition on Friday March 24th 2017. The event took place on the all-weather pitches in Sean Coill, Parteen. It was a little chilly but there was beautiful sunshine throughout and it was dry too. Students from fourth, fifth and sixth classes participated. There were three boys’ teams and two girls’ teams. The children represented the school really well and played fairly and sportingly in each match. The children enjoyed the day very much.

World Book Day 2017

On Thursday 2nd March the school celebrated World Book Day and on Friday 3rd March many children came to school as their favourite book character. All classes got time to do Paired Reading, where a child from an older class gets an opportunity to read with a child from a younger class, which was enjoyed by all.

The school also celebrated 30 years of Where’s Wally!

The Landlord’s Cat!

Congratulations to the boys and girls of Junior and Senior Infants  for their wonderful performance of the Landlord’s Cat.

‘The Landlord’s Cat’ tells the story of the Nativity through the eyes of a cat!  The landlord’s cat is so fed up with the hectic atmosphere in Bethlehem, and being ignored by his owner, that he is on the verge of leaving town. However, with the arrival of Mary and Joseph in the stable, as well as wise men and shepherds, the cat (being a wily and intuitive creature), senses that something very special is about to happen. Naturally he is determined to find out just what it is.

A big thank you to their teachers Ms. Griffin and Mr. Ó’hAnluain and all those who helped to make the performance a great success.

It’s a Baby!

Well done to the boys and girls of First and Second Class for their wonderful performance of It’s a Baby.

A Nativity with a difference, tells the traditional story from the perspective of a weary innkeeper. Thanks to all parents for their help and support throughout. Well done to their teachers Mrs. Harnett and Mr. McCarthy. Thanks also to  Phyl Hegarty, Kay Healy and Siobhán Smith.
