Christmas

We would like to wish all our families and friends a wonderful Christmas, and a peaceful and happy New Year!
See you in 2018!

Attendance Awards

Congratulations to the girls who had perfect attendance all term. These girls have not missed a single day since school started at the end of August. Well done!
Also, congratulations to Ellie Marlese who won a brilliant prize in the Attendance Raffle.

Swimming

Today we had the last of our swimming lessons at the pool. We went by bus today as it was a bit frosty. We have really enjoyed our swimming lessons, and we are sad that it is over!

After School Knitting Club

Congratulations to Caoimhe from our class, who is part of the After School Knitting Club. Her work was displayed in the Knitting Club exhibition in the hall. Well done!

International Children's Day

As part of International Children's Day, we took part in a flower arranging workshop with the ladies from Teach Oscail. It was brilliant. We made a Christmas flower centrepiece, using ivy, holly and flowers, and put a beautiful candle in the middle. When the workshop was over we were able to bring our centrepiece home.

Science Week

As part of Science Week, we took part in an animal presentation on Monday 13th. Two visitors from Animal Conservation came over from England, and gave a presentation on animals. They brought some animals for us to look at and even hold, for example giant snails, bearded dragons and snakes. They also had elephant tusks and snake skins. They told us about protecting endangered species. It was a great presentation.

Happy Halloween!

Today we dressed up for Halloween. Our class was full of strange and spooky characters. We had a Cheerios breakfast, and gave a donation to the ISPCC. We are having a party today as well. Unfortunately, we will also be having our Friday test. Now THAT'S scary!
Happy Halloween!!!!!!!!!

Library Visit

On Thursday we visited the County Library. It was a lovely sunny morning and we enjoyed the walk. We had a lovely time reading books on the comfortable seats in the library. We saw the huge painting of Gulliver in Lilliput, which we had read about this week in English. We hope to visit the library again soon.

 

Basketball

Every Thursday we have basketball coaching with Alejandro. Alejandro is from Spain. He is the basketball coach with Cavan Lakers Basketball Club. He teaches us all sorts of drills and skills.

Be Active Schools Campaign

This week we are taking part in the 'Run Around Europe' challenge. Every day this week we go out to the yard, and each pupil walks or runs 1km. We add up all the kilometres covered, and by the end of the challenge St Clare's will calculate how far across Europe we have travelled.

We all brought in one euro, and we went over to the hall and had ice cream. Thanks to Mrs Simmons for organising this, and to Lorraine for helping. We enjoyed the ice cream!!

St Clare's Annual Camogie Blitz

Well done to Katie, Dearbhla and Rebekah, who took part in the St Clare's Annual Camogie Blitz in Cavan Astro Park last Friday. St Clare's schools from Cavan, Mayobridge, Newry, Dublin and Keady took part in the blitz. The final was between Dublin and Mayobridge, with Mayobridge emerging victorious. Next year the blitz will be held in Mayobridge.

Sporting Achievements

Well done to Candice and Rebekah, who took part in the Schools Relay Athletics competition in the Peace Link, Clones, recently.

Congratulations to our camogie players Katie, Dearbhla and Rebekah, who played on the St Clare's camogie team all year. The team reached the semi-final of the league, where they were narrowly beaten by Laragh. We will be back even stronger next year!

Also, congratulations to all our football players, Rebekah, Dearbhla, Candice, Katie, Caragh, Eva, Paula, Keeva, and Hannah, who have been training with the school football team, and have won lots of their games.

Keep up the training over the summer girls!

School Tour

On Wednesday May 24th 3rd and 4th classes went on their school tour.
We went to Gr8 Entertainment in Castleblaney, Co Monaghan.
We started off in the huge climbing frame area, and had a turn in the Crazy Golf too. Some of us played soccer and did cartwheels in the indoor soccer area. We sat at the tables and had our snacks.
Then it was time for lunch. We had chips, sausages and chicken nuggets.
After lunch we went upstairs to the bowling and the Lego area. Finally we went to the cinema, where we saw a Toy Story movie and an Ice Age movie.
Then it was time to go. We were given a voucher each, which we can use if we go back to Gr8 Entertainment with our families over the summer.
It was a brilliant tour.

The annual St Clare's Sportathon took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 25th and 26th. Activities for senior classes were on Tuesday.
We started off with Orienteering with Mrs Reilly. This was followed by skipping with Mr McGovern in the main yard, before athletics with Mrs Cosgrove. Before breaktime we had Co-operative Games with Mr Walsh.
After break we participated in Gymnastics with Ms Hughes, Ball Skills with Ms E Brady. Next it was our turn to have ice-cream, which we all enjoyed!

We had fantastic fun. It was a brilliant day, and all funds raised will go towards buying new computers for the computer room.
