EoY Shows
Well done to everyone involved in the musical ‘Matilda’ – what fabulous performances from all our pupils from 3rd to 6th Classes – they were sensational! There were also so many staff members & Catherine, our dance teacher, that gave so willingly of their time and talents. We would like to pay a particular tribute to our 6th Class teachers, our SNAs, and our Assistant Principal – Ms. Michelle McQuiston, who is responsible for Creative Arts in our school. We hope those present in the audiences enjoyed it as much as we did!
Room 20 Update
Room 20 (current classroom for our special class for autistic pupils)
We are currently making improvements to this space. We have recently replaced a window with a large new door that will provide access to a new enclosed outside space (to be created this summer). When the pupils from Room 20 move to their new classroom (Room 19, currently Ms. Elmes’ Class), this room and outside space will become an infant classroom. This will be a fantastic space, with the addition of the new dedicated outside secure space for pupils to learn and play.

Literacy Project
Children in Ms. O’Hare’s 3rd Class undertook a project with Ms. O’Crowley’s Senior Infants. The children in 3rd class wrote and illustrated a personalised story for a child in Senior Infants, based on their likes and interests. They recently presented their books to their young buddies to much excitement.
Clean-Up in the Village
Update from 2nd Class
Second Class have had a busy few weeks! We have been doing lots of hands-on maths, enjoying learning about money, weight and capacity. In S.E.S.E we’ve learnt about the weather and we conducted experiments on the water cycle, evaporation and making our own rain clouds. We did a fun maths Easter egg trail before the break and loved cracking the passcode to the treasure chest of treats! We also have been doing lots of art including making St. Patrick’s Day rainbows, pointillism Spring flowers, salt dough Easter eggs and Mother’s Day and Easter cards. A huge congratulations to Maya who achieved a special merit for her beautiful portrait of her grandad in the Texaco Art Competition. We are so proud of her! Finally, the weather has been so lovely lately that we’ve been able to have our lunch outside!
Cross-Country Athletics Event
The Scoil Mhuire cross country invitational took place yesterday in Stonebridge, with over 200 boys and girls from 4th, 5th, and 6th classes representing 8 different schools taking part. The standard of racing was fantastic, with every race being very closely contested. Each race covered a distance of nearly 1 mile, making it a great challenge for all competitors. St Anne’s fielded a team of nearly 50 children, who produced some outstanding runs to win 4 medals. Ella Hanly claimed silver in the 4th class girls’ race. Jack Dwyer produced an exceptional run to win silver in the 6th class boys event, while in the 4th class boys race, Daniel Baynes and Daniel Crosbie produced outstanding runs to take the gold and silver medals respectively. This was also enough to help the 4th class boys win the team event. Sincere thanks to all involved in organising such a great event.
Easter Fun in Junior Infants
It’s been all Easter fun in Junior Infants. After making lots of Easter Art, we’ve had a busy day on our Easter hunt. What a lovely surprise to find an egg hidden under our chair! Thanks to some of 5th class who joined us too. We were excited to be able to give them some chocolate too to say thanks!
