Well not quite skipping class- more like A Skipping Class!! Ms Daly’s class had great fun learning to skip last week & making Father’s Day presents in Art. Gorgeous work ladies!!

The Green Team organised a clean up of the school grounds when we had some minutes of sunshine. The girls did a super job making sure that our school looks fabulous for the official raising of our 7th Green Flag. Thank you ladies!!

It’s not everyday that you are lucky enough to have an artist join you for a lesson, but today painter Seán Guinan stepped into the senior classes and inspired everyone- teachers included. Seán showed some of his work to the students then encouraged them to take up their pencils and create a masterpiece of their own. This all resulted in some incredible pieces that will hang proudly on any wall. Thank you so much Sean. Come back soon!! For more of his work check out http://www.seanguinan.com

We are delighted to announce that Áine in Ms Reddan’s 5th class won a prize in Offaly Down Syndromes Rock your Socks colouring competition.
Well done Áine we are all very proud of you.

It has been a busy few weeks here at Scoil Mhuire. Check out our talented girls in this week’s Tullamore Tribune!!

We are very lucky to have so many resources right on our doorstep here at Scoil Mhuire. Last week our junior infant students took their Aistear lesson on shopping to the store nearby. This week as part of their learning about travel and transport they set off to visit the train station directly across the road. What better way to learn than to immerse yourself in it!

It is with thanks to you all that we received 4 boxes filled with all sorts of rugby goodies from Aldi. As acknowledgement for the posters that we filled- Aldi sent us a plethora of rugby balls, sports bottles and bags. Thank you once again for your support.

Katie’s father generously donated a set of bibs to our school- for which we are most grateful!!! Thank you so much- let the games begin!!

Ms Conroy’s boys and girls went exploring our beautiful grounds for some minibeasts. The adventure proved worthwhile as lots of little creatures were discovered!!

The inaugural Senior Infants/First Class soccer league commenced today in Scoil Mhuire. There was an extremely high standard on display in two keenly contested opening games. It was evident for all that the future of Irish football is in safe hands with the talent on show today.
The league continues tomorrow and we look forward to two more compelling encounters at lunchtime.
