Our camogie team will play in the 'Sciath na Scol' competition on Wednesday while our football team will take part in the 'Duhallow School Blitz' on Friday. Good luck girls!

One day old ducklings were the latest visitors to Room 3. Having heard from 'Mr Trump the Lamb' just how kind and friendly all the boys and girls in R3 are, these ducklings insisted in coming to school with Ms. O' Leary. 

Active Travel to School takes place again this Friday. We encourage pupils to walk/ cycle some or all of the journey to school. 

We often walk two laps of the park on Fridays as part of our healthy and active school campaign. We hope to continue this exercise regime again this Friday. 

Our 5th & 6th Class football team took part in the Duhallow Blitz on March 31st. Unfortunately, after just two matches, the blitz had to be called off due to poor pitch conditions. The remaining matches will be played on April 28th. 

Our camogie team will also be in action in the 'Sciath na Scol' competion after the Easter Holidays. 

The children explored the theme of 'Spring' through the following stations:

Arts & Crafts: The children learnt some basic facts about the rabbit and then made their own rabbits using socks and rice (see photographs)
Active Station: The children discussed how we celebrate 'Easter' and then completed a yoga lesson based on 'Peter Cottontail'. 
Playdough Station: The children read the story 'Little Red Hen', discussed the stages involved in the process of making bread and then used their 'Little Red Hen' playdough mats. 
Literacy Station: The children read and discussed the story 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit' and then wrote a diary entry for Peter. 
Planting Station: The children discussed spring flowers and had the chance to plant their own bulbs in little pots. 
Small World: Using our farm and animal playsets, the children discussed the work of a farmer and also focused on the baby animals born on the farm each spring. 

Here we share some photographs of our 'Aistear' sessions.

School will close on April 7th. 

School will re-open on April 24th. 

We thank our Parents' Association for providing the funding to allow us to purchase the following resources to add to our 'Aistear' collection.

​Our Junior and Senior Infants absolutely love taking part in 'Aistear' every week and we can't wait for them to use all the new toys pictured below. 

The annual 'Bake Sale', superbly hosted by 3rd & 4th Class, was once again a huge success this year.

​A massive thanks to all the parents of the 3rd & 4th Class girls for providing such a delicious and wide variety of baking.   

We must also thank all parents and pupils of Presentation N.S. for so generously supporting this worthy event in aid of 'Trócaire'.  With your hard work and generosity, a total of €1265.15 will now be donated to 'Trócaire'.
