St Mary's Convent Primary School

St Mary’s Green Schools Committee participated in the St Patrick’s Day parade that was held in Trim last Friday. Our Tidy Towns friends invited us to walk with them and entrusted us with one of their treasured trophies. The delegation from St Mary’s comprised pupils, staff, parents and pets! Some pupils cycled, some others scooted while others walked, all making the point that there are more sustainable ways to travel. We sang our Climate song calling for a better future and demanding that it start right now! The group were caught on camera and featured on the RTE news!

Garda Edel paid a visit to our two 6th Classes this morning in her role as a ‘Community Garda’. She spoke about the impacts our words, our actions and our behaviours can have on other people. She commented on the meaning of ‘community’ and how we can play a part in maintaining a safe, respectful and welcoming community in Trim. We all want to do the right thing and to help us with this task we will be sure to think carefully before speaking and acting. Thank you Garda Edel for your visit and for your advice.

Tháinig deireadh le Seachtain na Gaeilge 2023 inniu. Bhí na páistí ó Sheomra 6 os ár gcomhair le tionól iontach. D’inis siad scéalta dúinn agus chan siad amhráin le cuidiú ón mbanna. Bhí na dathanna glas, bán agus oráiste le feiceáil i ngach áit sa halla. Ina dhiaidh sin, thosaigh na páistí ó rang a trí agus ó rang a ceathair ag damhsa. Comhghairdeachas le gach duine!

The children had a wonderful visit to a local farm where they saw cows being milked and had the opportunity of feeding calves. We finished the visit with an egg hunt and some hot chocolate. Everyone had a great day! Click on each photo to enlarge image!

Bhí na páistí ó rang a sé agus ó rang a dó ag obair le chéile um thráthnóna. D’imir siad biongó trí Ghaeilge agus bhain gach páiste sult as! Bhuaigh Selina an duais!

The pupils in Room 30 have completed and presented some projects relating to inspirational women across the centuries. The presentations included information on Mary O’Rourke, Ada Lovelace, Valentina Tereshkova, Marie Curie, Shauna Ennis, Susan Boyle, Grace O’Malley, Rachel Blackmore, Mary Seacole, Ruby Bridges and Princess Diana. Everyone put in a great effort into their projects…..well done to all!

Thosaigh Seachtain na Gaeilge 2023 i mBunscoil Clochar Mhuire maidin inniu. Bhí tionól againn sa halla agus bhí an áit plódaithe le daoine. Bhí na páistí ó Rang a Trí (Seomra 20) i gceannas. Ar dtús, d’éisteamar le ceoil álainn ón mbanna. Ansin, chualamar Rang a Trí ag canadh go leor amhráin agus ag seinm an fheadóg stáin freisin. Bhí siad go hiontach ar fad agus fuair siad bualadh bos mór ón slua. Maith sibh Rang a Trí!

We had a super day in Rathnally on a visit to a dairy farm on 8th March. We saw cows being milked in the milking parlour, we saw baby lambs and fed the calves. It was topped off with an egg hunt and hot chocolate! Thanks to farmer Sean for letting us visit the farm.

We were so excited to go on a trip to Trim Castle today.
We climbed up lots of winding stairs to get to the very top of the castle. We could see the church, the river, our school and some of us could even spot our houses!
We had a great adventure at the castle.
