Wishing all of our pupils, families and staff a very happy and safe Halloween. Have a wonderful mid-term break everyone. We had such a great start to the year with lots of fun activities. See you all on the 7th of November. We enjoyed lots of fun events for Code Week. Classes enjoyed working with BeeBots, Scratch, Microbits and some did some unplugged activities with dance, direction and algorithms. Well done all! Children are having great fun with the Transition Year pupils from Ballinrobe Community School who are organising some Halloween Games for us over the next few days! Many thanks! Great fun was had! Well done to 6th class on preparing another interesting assembly. This week's topic was friendship. We also heard lots of class news and saw some project work. Ireland is hugely proud of its Diaspora and today Minister Brophy is launching the educational resource pack “Irish Stories in Latin America”, which explores the lives of historical Irish figures in the region. Mr. Kenny (one of our staff) researched some famous people and compiled some wonderful lessons. Watch Minister Brophy explaining the resource and Ms. Canney delivering one of the lessons on Mayo man Admiral William Brown to her fifth class last term.
