St Mary's Convent Primary School

4th Class Room 19 went to St Joseph’s to do some carol singing at the windows. The residents loved it and we could see and hear them joining in with the music and songs. The staff danced and sang along too to help bring some festive cheer to everyone. We didn’t mind being “locked-out” as the sun shone brightly. Special thank you to Frank for helping out with the sound on the day. Nollaig shona to everyone !!

The recording underneath is a combination of ukuleles, chime bars, guitar and keyboard. Hope you enjoy it!

This is Room 12’s performance of ‘This Little Light of Mine’. We hope you enjoy it and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

The Junior Infants are having lots of fun learning how to code with the “Beebots”. They were even able to get them to dance alongside each other ! Well done !

Last week we had six visitors from Lithuania. They visited us on behalf of the Department of Education to observe and discuss with us our Induction Programme for Newly Qualified Teachers.
We also showed them our school. The girls from our Student Council (Saoirse, Beatrice and Eilja) did us proud. Our visitors remarked on the energy and openness to new ideas in our school, as well as the quality of our facilities.
Their departing remark was: “This is the kind of school we should send our ministry to see.”
Nice to hear, especially as the visit was limited in scope due to Covid.
