Super Sweepers!

Thanks are due to the Sixth Class parents and children who arrived on Saturday morning, during the holidays, armed with yard brushes and a steely determination. They swept all the grit, dirt and residue which had accumulated after the building had been power-washed. Your help is truly appreciated. It’s great to start T.3 with the yard and school looking clean and tidy.Let’s keep it that way!

The joys!

‘This is easier than housework!’

‘Give me a 5k any day!’

‘I’ve done my good deed for the day ‘ 🙂

Is it time for a cuppa, yet?

Brush Buddies 🙂

Last Week of Term 2. We wish you all a happy Easter.

It was a busy week. Our hurlers and soccer players played in two Blitzes. They won some, lost some and drew some. Well done! Chicks hatched in First Class. Easter art and crafts filled our walls and tables. Fathers Dan, Piotr and Seamus attended to our Sacrament of Reconciliation ceremony.The Basketball WARRIORS paid us a visit, causing wild cheers in the yard. Finally, CRAZY HAIR DAY arrived.

Mr Paul didn’t win any prizes. I wonder why?

We gave Omniplex vouchers, AquaDome vouchers and lots of Easter eggs as prizes.

These three won the ‘Best Crazy Hair Family’ prize. Wonderful nests on their heads….

This creation is a great way of drying clothes. Can you see clothes pegs?

Mr Liam received his egg because he brought REAL eggs, that hatched, into our school.

Garvey’s Tralee Basketball WARRIORS received a great welcome on Wednesday.

Can you see Kieran Donaghy in the crowd?

They told us ‘to always love your team mates, to stick together and play FOR each other’.

Ms Mary steals away unnoticed, with the Cup!

Three proud Tralee sisters🏀

Soccer: Mini -7’s. Wearing their new jerseys with pride.

On Wednesday our hurlers played against four local schools. (Those jerseys are getting out alot!).

Rang a Trí colured beautiful designs on their Easter eggs

Rang a Ceathair needed more space for their art work.

Sixth Class are a bit ‘cracked’.

They have far too much ‘free range’.

These chicks made in Third Class are really cute. I believe they have all gone to good loving homes!

And all our real chicks have gone to a good loving farm.

Spring has sprung some chicks!

They are adorable! We all got to rub their soft fluffy down. It was a long wait for ‘Joey’. Chick 2 arrived two days later, at ‘sos beag’. The teachers were more excited than we were, nearly!. Ms Mary calls Chick 2 ‘Goldie’. But Ms Noelle says it’s a democratic decision. We will call her ‘Tiny’. We can’t wait for tomorrow.

Hello Joey!

Joey is waiting for the others to hatch…..

Here’s ‘Tiny’, exhausted after battling her eggshell.

Joey meets ‘Tiny’…

Six chicks, by Friday! We are thrilled. What a lovely surprise, on our last day before Easter hols.

All of First Class are invited to pop in this Sunday to count the chicks and say ‘Goodbye’ before the go to their new home. School doors will be open between 11.30 and 12noon. Siblings and parents welcome too!

Our eggs have hatched!

The excitement is unbelievable! Shrieks of delight and the most uplifting sound of chirping filled our corridor. First Class are taking excellent care of our new Easter Chicks!Click on First C blog🐣

Hello Joey!

Joey is waiting for the others to hatch…..

From here to Africa…..

Joan Rogers sent our used football and soccer jerseys to children in Africa. It is a wonderful way to connect with children who have less than us but love soccer as much as we do. Thank you to all the children in Caherleaheen who donated their jerseys.

Our Easter Chicks.

Mr Liam gave us an incubator filled with eggs. They ‘are due’ this week!!! What will we do, if they hatch during the hols?. We gently turn them every day two times. Ms Noelle thinks the names we are thinking of for our Easter Chicks are perfect. But we haven’t fully decided yet, until EACH ONE hatches…..

No omelettes in our classroom!

Gently does it….
