February News
We had Miss O’Connell one day because Ms Wallace was on administration.
We also had Vivienne who taught us more about basketball in P.E. and we all had a good time.
Maggie came back during the month for more recorder lessons.
John Cummins is coming back also to teach us hurling or Gaelic football so we are very excited.
Marine came for our first French lesson in 2011 and we did revision of what we learned before Christmas.
IN Irish we made Ratatouille with gáirleog (garlic), ubhthoradh (auburgine), prátaí milis (sweet potato), seilire (celery), cuirséad (courgette), oinniúin (onion) agus trátaí (tomato). It was very tasty.
The Junior pupils have been learning all about Spain in their Geography lessons.
Nancy Farrell came for more Drama lessons.
The gerbils are back in the Junior classroom with their new cage and super toys. It has a tunnel that goes out of the cage and back in so the gerbils will have great fun playing this year!
Aimee, Luke, Sarah & Joan walked to the “Texaco” petrol station, as part of their maths lesson on length. In total they walked 2 kilometres. They measured the kilometres with the trundle wheel.
We did gymnastics with Ms.O’Connell It was really fun
We had three birthday’s Stuart who was 7, Sofia Rose who was 9 and Callum was 5. So we all wish them a very happy birthday
In the senior classroom 3rd class have been learning about the solar system and 4th, 5th and 6th have been learning all the rivers and bays in Ireland we are all enjoying it very much.
The junior classroom have been learning about road safety and how important it is to be seen when walking in the dark. They also learned how you must wear a helmet when cycling and a seat-belt when in the car.

St. Mary’s Parochial School (Model School) –
The big news is about our school play and our part in the Carol Service.
The Christmas Play
The play was about how “Silent Night” was written.
There was lots of lovely music which we learne in school.
Lauren, who is doing work experience was the choreographer and the Rector helped with the scenery painting.
Everybody in school painted some part of the scenery.
The play took place in the GAA Hall, Western Road on 9th December.
Santa Claus came with presents for everybody – there was no sign of the reindeer!
The Carol Service
We made Christingles in school as part of our preparation for the Carol Service in Old St Mary’s.
We practised our readings in the church on the Friday before.
Old Mobile Phones
If you have any unwanted phones please send them into our school as we are still collecting them for the Jack and Jill Foundation – there’s a box in Old St Mary’s

St. Mary’s Parochial School (Model School) –
Hello everybody and hope you all are well after the storm.
We had an exciting when the McCarthy Cup visited our school. Four GAA Officials came too. Unfortunately Eoin Kelly could not come as he had just returned from Boston where he had brought the McCarthy Cup to visit. One of the Official’s name was Mr. Séan Nugent. His grandfather taught in this school many years ago. Mr. Nugent told us the history of the McCarthy Cup and we all got to hold the Cup. They gave us all a signed poster of the team. There are photos on display in the school. We had a banner in our classroom to welcome the cup. The cup was very heavy when we lifted it. Ms. Wallace and Mrs. Brennan held the cup too.
In the Junior room, one of Mrs. Brennan’s hens came to visit on Monday and some of the children got to hold her. She is a brown hen and the picture in last week’s newsletter was taken from Clip Art! The hen was running around the school yard and all the children enjoyed watching her.
Lauren Quigley is a past pupil in our school and is now in Transition Year in the Presentation Secondary School. Lauren came on Wednesday and spent some time in each classroom. She will be coming every Wednesday for the next few months as part of her work experience.
The Red Kettle Theatre Group are visiting next Wednesday and are performing ‘Rory McLory and the story that never ends’ for all children. We are also having a collection of unwanted clothing, etc. next week for Mrs. Quinn’s Charity Shop for the Blind. There is a note about these already sent home.
We have started practicing for the Christmas Play. It is called ‘Silent Night’ and will take place on Thursday 9th of December at the GAA Centre. So please keep that date free.
Mrs. Levie came in to do P.E. with the Senior Room. We played ‘Ladders’ and ‘Crab Football’.
