St Mary's Convent Primary School

Today, the two 6th Classes went for a walk along the Boyne. It was a chilly start, but by the end of the walk everyone was warmed up!

Shane Mooney visited our school yesterday (Tuesday, 18th December) and brought along the Pro 14 Cup and the Heineken Champions Cup to show to different classes. It was a great treat for us all to hold the cups and ‘boy were they heavy’!! Check out our photo gallery!

6th Class paid a visit to Dubin today to see Robin Hood at The Helix. The panto began at 11am and the characters of Sherwood Forest brought mayhem, laughter, music and song to an electrically-charged audience! The pupils gave the show a massive “thumbs up” and sang all the way home!

Aidan Grey, from An Taisce, recently visited both 6th Classes to talk about Global Sustainability. We learned about the close relationship between food, life and the planet, and how these are under extreme pressure nowadays. We all need to work together to make the world a better and more sustainable place for future generations.

On Monday 12th of November, Room 27 went on a trip to Dublin.  We arrived at Croke Park where we took the very interesting and historical tour of the stadium bringing us right up to the top of the 82,300 seater stadium.
We saw the pitch, the media boxes, dressing rooms, refs rooms, presentation and players lounge.
On the way home we stopped to play football and eat at the visitors centre in the Phoenix Park.
What a great day!!

Today (12th November) forty-eight 6th Class pupils preparing for Confirmation travelled to the Emmaus Centre in Swords for a Confirmation Retreat. The pupils participated in a variety of activities including workshops, discussion groups, games and prayerful meditation. The friendly staff provided refreshments in the morning and a hot meal at lunchtime. In no time at all it was time to depart the centre and return to Trim. An enjoyable and fulfilling day was had by all.
