The Allianz Cuman na Mbunscoil Louth Finals took place last Saturday in The Parnell GAA Pairc Stabannan Co. Louth.
The sun shone on all of the bright young players who qualified from their school heats to take part in the finals. There were footballers, hurlers and camogie players all dressed in their schools jerseys and wearing them with pride.
St. Finians competed in the Puc Fada Finals represented by Elli From Fifth Class. Dromisken, Collon, Tullydonnel, Knockbridge and Dromin Schools also competed for the titles in this competition.
Elli was entered in the Girls individual competition. She had three pucs, each puc was measured in terms of distance and then totalled to get her final score. Her first puc of over 32 metres followed by two more pucs over 26 metres awarded her second place .
Congratulations to Elli.
Dr Daithí Ó Murchú visited our school on Wednesday. Daithí is a validator for the Digital Schools of Distinction award. He was very impressed by the level of ICT which is being used in the school and by the children’s knowledge of technology. We have now been named as a Digital School of Disitinction. The Digital School of Distinction logo will now take pride of place on our website.
We will received a plague to be displayed in the school. We will also receive a HP Pro X476dw printer and all our printing supplies for one year.
This is a tremendous achievement for our school!
Well done to everyone!
We had a fantastic day today when some grandparents’ came to visit. They came to our classrooms and answered our questions. We found out lots of information. The grandparents were invited to visit one classroom and we all had different topics to discuss. Junior and Senior Infants wanted to learn about the first day at school. First and Second Class wanted to learn about games that the grandparents played at school. Third and Fourth Class wanted to hear about equipment that grandparents used in school and Fifth and Sixth Class wanted to learn about school tours and extracurricular activities.
After the class visits the Sixth class pupils served tea and refreshments in the hall and the grandparents all had a little chat. Sixth class pupils made buns, cakes and apple tarts with some of the parents and grandparents yesterday! We would especially like to thank Ann Dunne for organising the ICA ladies to come in and work with the children. Our thanks also to Lorraine Boyle and Roisin Holmes for helping the children with the baking. Finally we would like to thank Barbara Keane and Catherine Woods for their help in serving the refreshments.
Some more grandparents will be in school on Thursday to help Third and Fourth class to make St. Brigid’s Crosses. We make one for every family in the school. Fr Daly will bless the crosses at our Friday Assembly.
Thank you to all the ICA ladies, parents and grandparents who made this a wonderful week.
