Our sixth class helped the boys and girls in junior infants to log in to Mathletics today.
Juniors & Seniors then got some time using the school’s iPads to complete some activities.

John Collins, on behalf of Hospital/Herbertstown Bord na n-Óg, made the presentation along with current club players Joe Fogarty and Oisín O’Grady. All three are past pupils of Herbertstown NS.
The school is very grateful for the support.
The pupils got to view many different areas of the station as well as being shown how the plant produces electricity. Their guides explained how the different parts of the scheme were constructed and the pupils really enjoyed learning about how fish travel through Ardnacrusha.
It was a very memorable day for all.
The traditional quartet of schools were in action, Hospital NS, Herbertstown NS, Caherline NS and the holders Knockainey NS. As the round robin series of games were being played by the schools, it became apparent that the four schools were very evenly matched and some excellent hurling was on display.
The traditional junior & senior infant game also took place where the stars of the future got a chance to showcase their talents.
Following respective wins over Knockainey NS and Caherline NS, Herbertstown NS and Hospital NS met in the final. Kathleen Fitzgerald of the Liam Lynch Pipe Band led the parade around the field before the final and also performed Amhrán na bhFiann.
The first half of the final was closely contested with Herbertstown holding a 2 point lead at the break. Goals were to prove crucial in the second half as Herbertstown stretched ahead and held out for a memorable win. It must be said that Hospital NS were very impressive throughout the day and did their school proud.
Well done to our team and thank you to all who supported the tournament, especially Hospital/Herbertstown Bord na n-Óg and all the parents who donated food and refreshments for the players and supporters.
A few weeks ago we got caterpillars in the post from England. The caterpillars were very small but after a few days they got very fat.
The caterpillars soon went into their chrysalides. They were in their chrysalides for a few days. In those few days one fell down.
After they formed into butterflies (Painted Ladies) we let them go into the school garden. We saw them fly away. We enjoyed the butterflies.

Both our boys’ hurling team and girls’ camogie team captured the South Roinn A titles in Martinstown yesterday. They boys had victories over Hospital NS and Croom NS while the girls defeated Hospital NS and Ballylanders NS.
Well done to all involved and thanks to our great supporters on the day.
Limerick hurling manager John Kiely presented the girls with their medals.
Sixth class had a wonderful day at Mary Immaculate College in Limerick exhibiting their project and getting to experience all that the ESB Science Blast had to offer.
This included taking part in science based demonstrations and activities and also moving around the venue to view other schools’ projects.
Congratulations to them and their teacher, Mrs Kennedy, for a job well done with their project.
