Our new Junior Infants enjoying their first day in school.

2nd – 6th Classes visited Stephens Barracks in Kilkenny for a fantastic tour, then to Kilkenny Activity centres for paintballing and an assault course.

Congratulations to the Junior B Team, who beat off some stiff competition to take home the plaque at the Diocesan Soccer Blitz on Friday 7th June.

Junior and Senior Infants and 1st Class had a wonderful time at Ravenwood on Thursday. They searched for mini-beasts and aqua-beasts using nets and pooters. They caught lots of interesting creatures and identified them using the identification charts. Grasshoppers, butterflies, water scorpions, damselfly nymphs and baby stickleback fish were just some of the creatures examined and released back into their habitat. The children finished off with a ‘paddle’ at Curracloe Beach. A really fun day!

Mrs. Duke’s class went on an ecology trip to Raven Point Nature Reserve. They searched for mini-beasts and aqua-beasts using nets and pooters. They found lots of interesting creatures.

Johanna Austin came on Wednesday to tell the Easter story. The children as always enjoyed the story and quiz immensely.

Congratulations to Ava Miller (2nd Class), Penny Jacob (2nd Class) and Rachael Jacob (6th Class) who have been awarded prizes for the poems they wrote for ‘The Creative Spirit’ competition . This competition was in conjunction with the Ferns Diocesan Pastoral Council and the Christian Media Trust.
