Christmas Boxes







Well done, and thank you, to all the children of Scoil San Phroinsias who recently filled shoe boxes with treats for children in other countries. As you can see from the photos, lots of boxes were collected!



Tirellan Resident's Association Calendar 2009


Every year, the Tirellan Resident's Association, publishes a calendar, which they distribute to all the houses and businesses in the area. The children of Rang 5 and Rang 6 in Scoil San Phroinsias do the art work. Congratulations to this year's winners. 4 pictures were chosen-one for each season.
The prizes this year were presented by the Mayor of Galway, Padraig Conneelly.

Comhghairdeas to Ms. Gallagher's 2nd class for organising their very own class poster competition. The posters were all about keeping the world clean and litter free.
This week, many classes are entering a calendar competition run by city hall. The theme of the calendar is "Keeping Galway Litter Free". We hope that some of our students will have their fabulous art work included in the calendar.

Winter Arrives

Welcome back to all the students and teachers after a lovely mid-term break. As winter begins, the children in Scoil San Phroinsias continue their war against litter. Today saw Ms. Farrelly's 6th class scouring the clós and school grounds for litter. You can see them in action in their class blog. We hope that everyone plays their part in keeping our school clean and litter free. All the children in Scoil San Phroinsias are learning a rap about keeping our school clean. The rap was composed by Adam Forde in 1st class. You can read the rap on our green school blog.
