🎃👻 Halloween Fun Day! 👻🎃 Our Halloween Fun Day was a tremendous success, with pupils enjoying a fantastic day filled with fun, creativity and laughter! Children came dressed in their wonderful Halloween costumes and took part in a range of exciting activities throughout the day. Classes enjoyed a special Halloween party and movie, providing the perfect opportunity to relax, celebrate and spend time with friends. Pupils also got creative during a variety of Halloween arts and crafts activities, producing some spooktacular creations that showcased their imagination and artistic talents. The highlight of the day for many was the Halloween disco, where pupils danced, sang and celebrated together in a fun and festive atmosphere. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces and to share such a positive day as a school community. A huge thank you to our staff, pupils, families and PTFA for helping to make the day so special. 🎃 Wishing everyone a safe, enjoyable and happy Halloween break! 🕸👻

🔍 Maths Week Ireland 2026 - What a Week! 🔍 We have had a fantastic week celebrating Maths Week Ireland, with pupils taking part in a wide range of exciting and engaging activities. From interactive live lessons and estimation stations to challenging problem-solving tasks, there were plenty of opportunities for pupils to develop their mathematical thinking while having fun. A huge well done to our Mental Maths Champions, who impressed us all with their speed, accuracy and determination! Friday's assembly also helped pupils see how maths extends far beyond the classroom, exploring the important role it plays in a variety of future careers, from engineering and architecture to healthcare, sports and technology. Thank you to everyone who helped make the week such a success. It was wonderful to see so much enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence in mathematics throughout the school.
