6th Class Graduation 

It was a very emotional farewell to our graduating class of 2025 today. We have loved teaching, supporting and guiding them all through their 8 years with us in St. Anne’s N.S. We wish them every success in Secondary School and beyond. We thank all our staff that taught and supported both graduating classes, and in particular, we thank Deva, Ms. Maguire and Mr. Hackett for all their dedicated work throughout the year. We also extend our thanks to Ms. O’Connor for teaching Mr. Hackett’s class for the month of June.

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!

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.

News from 6th Class as Term 2 ends!

Sixth class had a busy 2nd term. We enjoyed Rugby, GAA, Dance and Gymnastics for P.E. We danced with 3rd class for Seachtain na Gaeilge and did a Tráth na gCeist with our friends in the other 6th class. We have started preparations for our End of Year Show ‘Matilda’ and a big highlight was welcoming T.D Barry Ward and his colleague into our classroom to do a mock trial with us. We finished the term with a school tour to Kilmainham Gaol as part of our history studies. We had a fantastic visit!

Kilmainham Gaol – 6th Class Visit

On Monday, both 6th Classes travelled to Kilmainham Gaol. The children have been learning about the 1916 Easter Rising as part of their History study. They got to explore the chapel, the Civil War cells, the Stonebreakers’ yard and the Museum. For many, the highlight was the recognition that a famous ‘prisoner’ had been Paddington Bear, as the gaol had been a location for the Paddington 2 film.

Update from 6th Class

In January and February, 6th class enjoyed ball skills with Coach Steve. We have also been learning all about World War II. As part of our World War II theme we have been reading “The boy in striped pyjamas” , learning about the allies and axis and we have been making battle scenes. We hope to display our projects after midterm. We’ve been baking as part of our procedural writing genre for English too! Take a look at some of the photographs below!

Book Week

Book Week and Dress-Up as a Character from a Book 

As we get ready to celebrate Book Week this week, we are appealing for donations of books that your child may have outgrown. Spring is an ideal time to sort through and donate any used books to us, and on Friday, we hope that every child will be able to receive new books. We have collection boxes in each classroom, ready and waiting for your donations.

Across the school, we have planned a number of activities for all our pupils. Each child will be encouraged to bring in their favourite book, and also to share a photo of their favourite place to read. The highlight of our Book Week will be on Friday, when everyone is encouraged to dress up as a character from their favourite book.
