St Mary's Convent Primary School

Some students from 4th and 5th classes interviewed Eleanor Murray who recently won the National Local Legend Competition for her achievements. Students prepared questions which helped them create a profile of Eleanor. They presented their completed projects to their classes.

Ms. Maguire introduced us to her pet lamb who was born seven days ago. “All the children laughed an played to see a lamb at school”.

The pupils enjoyed the visit to our school by Michael Moylan from History Live. The junior classes enjoyed stories from Cú Chulainn to Labhraidh Loingseach and The Salmon of Knowledge while senior classes heard about The Normans and The Vikings, their clothes and weaponry and also got to try out some of these. A big thank you to Michael as he put great efforts into his workshops and had lots of artifacts for all to enjoy.

Every year the girls from St Mary’s help with Daffodil Day. Room 27 put them into bunches this year and they will be sold in Trim.

The boys and girls in Room 4 want to wish all of their wonderful mammy’s a Happy Mother’s Day!!

A colourful delegation from St. Mary’s represented the school in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade this year. The theme was Biodiversity and the message was portrayed to the people of Trim in a very animated way!

Well done all!!

Bhí Siopa Glas againn i rith Seachtain na Gaeilge. Dhíolamar seanbhréagáin, leabhair agus rudaí mar sin. Bhainemar úsáid as Ghaeilge sa siopa agus bhí an-spórt againn. Thuilleamar thar ocht gcéad euro do na daoine bochra san Aifric.

Today we were celebrating World Book Day in Room 26. This is  the 17th year of this event and 100 countries all over the world celebrate books, reading, authors and illustrators. We decided to make ourselves comfortable and we curled up with our books. Can you recognise us when we have our noses stuck in a book?!

Room 26 went on a nature walk to celebrate National Tree Week and investigate signs of spring. We noticed plenty of biodiversity around Trim and we were kept busy recording everything that we saw. Spring is definitely in the air… and in our step!!

There was a beautiful smell of baking around St Mary’s today.

Room 8 opened up the “Pancake Cafe” and we made some beautiful pancakes. We even wrote a menu for our cafe and the little chefs got busy with the ingredients!

Chocolate and banana pancakes were very popular today followed by sugar and lemon. Even the plain pancakes were delicious! What a fun day we had!
