Lá le Pádraig 2009

Preparations for this years St. Patrick's Day parade are in full swing now. The children from 3rd to 6th class are busy learning a new selection of tunes on tinwhistle, accordion and belyra. Over the next few weeks, you will notice the school band marching around Tirellan, as they practice for this year's big parade. We are all hoping that the weather on March 17th will be nothing like January's weather!

Welcome Back

Fáilte ar ais to everyone, pupils and staff alike. We have rarely seen such an icy start to a new term. Lots of exciting things will be happening in Scoil San Phroinsias this term, aswell as lots of hard work! The senior classes will have to opportunity to learn how to Kickbox. Swimming lessons resume next week and will be held in Leisureland this term. The Coiste Glas are planning an Action Day for February, a day when we will show off all the hard work we have been doing towards earning our Green Flag. The photo shows Ms. Farrelly's Rang a 6 who didn't waste any time getting outside with the litter pickers....well done for being the first class to pick litter in 2009!

A Green Christmas

The children and staff of Scoil San Phroinsias are busy thinking of ways to have a "Green Christmas". If you have any good ideas about how to be kind to the environment this Christmas, please let us know by email at ssp.start2004@gmail.com. Míle buíochas libh. From the Coiste Glas.

An Nollaig

Today we took pictures of the crib at the front of the school. One photo has some words as Gaeilge. We took these photos because, as we all know, Christmas is coming soon!!!

8th of December

To celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, all the classes from 1st up to 6th went to mass. For Catholics, this day is a holy day and we go to mass. We sang lots of Advent Hymns and we sang a special song for Holy Mary. Mary's mother was Saint Anne.

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!
