The St. Finian’s quiz team claimed the Louth Cumann an mBunscol Tráth na gCéist title today. It is the first time the school has claimed the title and we are extremely proud! Having won their regional competition last week, the team went into today’s final in Knockbridge quietly confident and this confidence surely shone through with the team scoring a very impressive 71 out of 80 in what was a challenging quiz. A huge well done to Áine, Alex, Catherine, Cillian & Seán. A tremendous achievement that you should be very proud of. A big thank you to all the parents who helped with transport both weeks!

Well done boys and girls!!

Fifth and Sixth Class really enjoyed a day out at DKIT college as part of Science Week. We went to a show called  “Your Big Beautiful Biased Brain”. The pupils learned all about how important our brain is and how it works. There was also plenty of fun tests videos and activities on the day to show how the brain operates in different unique and unusual ways.

Fifth and Sixth Class were busy learning about the abstract painter “Jackson Pollock”The pupils examined some of his famous “drip” paintings. They practiced the technique of drip paintings using a variety of objects (not just brushes). In groups they created beautiful drip paintings. They had great fun outside making the pieces. When finished, each group named their painting and showed it to the class. The paintings will be put up on display throughout the school.
