Senior School Band

Friday, March 12th,2010

Today the Senior School marching band marched round Renmore. It was really thrilling. We made St. Patrick's Day headbands and went out to watch the parade. We watched it when it started, and again as it finished. The day was cloudy, and much cooler than recent days, but it was still nice. We really enjoyed watching the band. Well done to all in the senior school for putting on such a great parade for us!

Féile Scoildrámaíochta - Drama Competition

Friday, 12th February 2010

Results were on the radio at 6pm (instead of at 6:30)! Unfortunately Scoil Chaitríona were not among this year's prizewinners, but both classes did us proud on Tuesday! A hearty Congratulations to all involved!!! You were great!!!!

Tuesday, 9th February 2010

Well done to Ms. McLoughlin's Senior Infant class and to Ms. Tierney's Junior Infant class who represented our school and performed so well at today's Féile Scoildrámaíochta. It was a terrific day - our bus left to go to Inverin at 9am (an early start for all, so that costumes and make-up could be on before we left). We really enjoyed watching the two plays before ours - a musical about penguins by a 3rd or 4th class, and a musical about Jack and the Beanstalk by a Junior Infant class. They were both great.Our plays went very well too. We are delighted.Results for all the plays will be announced on Radio na Gaeltachta (an Irish Language radio station) on Friday at 6:30pm. Teachers will know the results early next week.Well done to all our children, and to all the parents who provided the costumes, our fan club parents who came to support us, to Anne and Nessa who did our make up, to Len for the fabulous sets, to Ane and all the teachers and SNAs who worked so hard to help us in our dramas.

Congratulations to all!

Happy Holidays

The staff of Scoil Chaitríona Junior wish all our pupils and parents a wonderful Christmas, and the best of good wishes for 2010. We hope you all enjoy the holidays! We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, January 7th when school reopens after the holidays.

We had our Hallowe'en walk today. Most of the children and teachers in the school dressed up in fancy dress clothes. Our walk is a sponsored walk - it is not too far but it is great fun. We hope we didn't scare anyone going by. A huge "Thank You" to all who participated, made costumes, got children dressed up, and especially to all who sponsored us in today's walk,

Hallowe'en Walk

It is October and all classes are beginning to get ready for Hallowe'en. Watch out for great Hallowe'en art all round the school. The highlight of Hallowe'en for us is our annual fundraiser - our "Hallowe'en Walk". We will be dressing up for Hallowe'en and walking round Renmore on the morning of Friday 23rd October. Thanks to all for help with the sponsorship money, and with the costumes. See you all on the 23rd!
