St Mary's Convent Primary School

In the autumn of 2001 ROOM 19 went to visit Ann at her workshop at her home near Kells. She had been commisioned to create a 3D image of our school.  My class and I were delighted to be part of the process by giving an input of what we thought might be included in the piece. All the girls were delighted to meet a real living sculptor. We saw her work in progress and we saw her kiln. She showed us some pieces from her recent exhibition.We are thrilled to have our piece hanging on our school wall.

A Work of Art!

Here in St.Mary’s we run a specialised programme for all pupils with occupational needs three mornings a week called PMP ( perceptual motor awareness programme). The hall is set up in five stations each morning with specialised equipment which is specific to the fine and gross motor needs of the children and is also planned encorporating recommendations from an occupational therapist. Each station of PMP is supervised by a teacher or Special Needs Assistant and the activities are rotated each week.

Pupils from St. Mary’s Primary School participated in the annual Meath schools cross-contry championships in Bellewstown Racecourse in November 2011. We entered two teams - girls  under 11   and   girls under 13 . The girls ran  very well and really enjoyed the experience. Well done to all who took part!

We have been very busy in room 29 creating our own castles!

Following the success of room 2o and room 21 class outing in the autumn term preparations are under way for a social outing again in the spring term. The purpose of these outings is to encourage the practice of language in a social, relaxed setting. Keep an eye on the website for further information on our outing !!
