Well done to our quiz teams who represented the school at the St Ailbe’s Credit Union Quiz in the Millennium Centre, Caherconlish on Monday night.
All teams scored very highly and the team members can be very proud of their efforts!
Activities
Scór na bPáistí
Well done to the school’s musicians, and their teacher Ms Barry, who are took time out of their weekends to represent the school at Scór na bPáistí in Askeaton on Saturday.
The group performed the piece ‘Inis Oírr’ in the Instrumental Music section of the competition.
Chess
Well done to our chess team who represented the school at the Ficheall Tournament earlier today in Scoil Dean Cussen, Bruff.
The team had been taking time out of their lunch breaks in recent weeks to prepare and really enjoyed the experience in Bruff.
Walk on…Thursday
Bad weather had hampered a few attempts to complete WOW walks in December and earlier in January so we took the opportunity on Thursday to make the most of the lovely day.
It is always a nice experience for the boys and girls and a great way to support our efforts to renew our Active School Flag status.
Rugby Coaching
Rugby coaching sessions have started in the school.
We are very lucky to have Danny Keogh from Bruff RFC/Munster Rugby coming to the school over the next few weeks to promote the game.
Busy Start to 2023 in Third Class
Mrs Murphy’s third class have been very busy since they returned to school. Here are some photos of some of their activities:
Art
Human Knot – Drama team building game
Boat Making – Investigating Sinking/Floating
4th/5th Class Investigate the Impact of Salt on Ice
In this experiment we investigated the impact of salt on ice. We placed ice cubes in a tin can, laid the string on the ice, added salt and after approximately one minute we pulled the string out of the water with all the ice cubes attached.
When salt is sprinkled over the ice, it lowers the ice’s freezing point and causes it to melt. Water around the ice forms and then the string sinks into the ice.
Christmas Art
Some fabulous pieces of art are helping to add to the festive atmosphere around the school!
School Shows 2022
Well done to everyone involved in the excellent shows which were performed by Junior & Senior Infants, 1st & 2nd class and 3rd class on Tuesday.
Junior and senior infants performed The Sleepy Shepherd, 1st & 2nd class performed Stable Manners and 3rd class performed A Very Mixed Up Christmas. Congratulations to all the boys and girls, all their hard work over the past couple of months was clear to see for everyone who attended the shows.
Sincere thanks to all the parents, guardians and extended school community who supported the production of the shows and helped with the raffle.
Thank you also to the school staff who worked hard on the preparations and in the production of all elements of the matinee and evening shows.
Primary Schools Handball 2022
Sixth pupils from Herbertstown NS competed today in the South Limerick Primary Schools Handball blitz in Hospital.
Each of the sixth players did very well in what was their first game of handball outside of PE lessons in school. Three of the players were medal winners as the school collected a silver medal in the Roinn B girls division and bronze and silver medals in the Roinn B boys division.
All sixth were excellent representatives for the school at the event.
