Our cycling day launch.

On the morning of our cycling day we went into class and got high visibility jackets. Then we went outside for a group photo.

After that everyone with a bike got there bike and joined the end of the line. A few of the people in our schools parents went for the cycle too. The day before we had our cycling day the parents had one. When the left the junior infants and senior infants got their bikes and cycled around the yard. A few people fell off their bikes so we helped them up and they continued cycling. Awhile later we went inside for something to eat and then went back out.

Not too long after that the others returned. They had gone on a 3 mile long cycle. When we all came in we got something to eat and drink, then we all got an apple and a drink. Later that day we had a raffle. In the raffle there were bike locks, bike bells, bike reflectors, bike lights and many more bike stuff. At two o’clock sixth, fifth and fourth class went out and played rounder’s. I really enjoyed our cycling day. I think everyone else did too.

Cycling courses

On Monday 21^st and Tuesday 22^nd March 2011 children from 1st class upwards took part in a cycling course in our school. Each classroom spent a whole day cycling. The children learned lots of new tricks and most importantly they learned about being safe when cycling. The pupils thoroughly enjoyed the courses and had a new helmet to keep at the end of the day.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

All children from 1st class upwards were asked to make a costume using nothing but recyclable materials. Each child brought their costume into school and had the opportunity to model it for the teachers and other pupils. The best costumes were chosen to take part in the St. Patrick's Day parade. Well done to the people who put so much work into their costumes and thank you to the parents who helped out on the day.

Sinbad and the Sea Pirates!

On Thursday December 16th 2010 the pupils from Junior Infants to 6th class travelled to the Everyman Theatre in Cork city to see the pantomime "Sinbad and the Sea Pirates." Lots of fun was had by all. Here are some photographs taken during our day out.

St. Brigid

Here is St. Brigid. Everybody in Junior and Senior infants worked together to make this picture of St. Brigid and her cloak.

The story of St. Brigid's cloak.

St. Brigid wanted to build a church. She didn’t have any land. She asked the chieftain for some land. He said “you can have as much land as your cloak can cover”. He was mean and he laughed. She put down her cloak. It grew bigger and bigger and bigger. She laughed. Now she could build a church.

Sponsored walk

On 19th November 2010, all pupils from Junior Infants to sixth class took part in a sponsored walk. We walked 3 miles approx. and lots of money was raised for our school. Pupils, staff and many parents became involved in the day and we had lots of fun! Thanks to all who contributed.

Games for a day!

On 22nd October 2010 our school took part in National Games Day. Each child brought in €2 to raise money for charity. We put a booklet together, which showed what we did on the day. We won €200 for our school as the best school in Co. Waterford! Ms. Duffy organised the day and helped us with all of our hard work! Here are some pictures of us on National Games Day:
