Congratulations to our Fourth Class pupil, Enda Sheehan, who recently won a Science competition for his whole class, held by Astellas Laboratories, Killorglin. Many thanks to Astellas for the visit to their labs, the interaction with technicians and the hugely generous prize of €500, which will be well spent on STEM resources. It was a very memorable and enjoyable day for all. The Mad Scientists joined us and told us.
We enjoyed reading in the library today for Children’s Book Week.So many books, so little time . We are learning about idioms too such as – One for the books . Never judge a book by it’s cover. An open book. Take a leaf out of someone’s book. Read between the lines. The oldest trick in the book. We love reading.
Fourth Class really enjoyed their trip to the Library for Children’s Book Week. We learned lots of interesting facts about The Vikings. We dressed like Vikings, went into battle, drank out of Viking horns , held spears and shields and lots lots more. Many thanks to all the parents who dropped and collected and to the staff of Tralee Library. This is not going according to plan The battle begins..
Fourth Class display their wonderful talents during Maths Week. The pictures speak for themselves.
Well Done to everyone for taking part in Maths Week. There was a great atmosphere around the school during the week as the children took part in various Maths challenges , quizzes, and the Maths Fair. Congratulations to the winners of the Maths Quiz and the children who correctly guessed the contents of each jar.
Fourth Class displayed huge creativity in recent weeks as they designed Maths hats, board games and drew the most amazing deck of cards for our Maths Fair. Watch out Picasso. The children had great fun playing the games they designed and look forward to showing them to the Junior Classes.
Maths Quizzes galore on Friday! We held two Mega Quizzes: Junior and Senior. All hands on deck and a hum of concentration prevailed, as each table settled into each round of questions. Each team has a child from each class. It’s a nice way for kids to meet and co-operative with other classes. Maths Week takes a lot of preparation but it’s worth it….
Well Done to everyone who entered the Bling your Shoes competition. All entries represented our highly talented and creative children. Congratulations to Second class winners. Sensational shoes by all of Second Class.

Bhaineamar an taitneamh as Seachtain na Gaeilge. Ghlac na paistí ó rang 4, 5 agus 6 páirt i dTráth na gCeist. Ar an Aoine, bhí Céilí Mór againn sa halla. Bhí ceol, craic, scéalaíocht agus rince againn. Buíochas le Ms Gemma. Mhúin sí na páistí go léir i rith na seachtaine agus nuair a tháinig an Lá Mór, bhí gach uile páiste réidh.

There was great excitement around the school today as we dressed up as characters from our favourite books. Senior pupils read to Junior pupils and shared their favourite Book with them.
