St. Fiacc's National School

Our school choir have been busy rehearsing for Peace Proms. We are really looking forward to Saturday. We are so proud of our choir and how hard they have been working! We wish them lots of luck for Saturday. We hope you enjoy the performance.

Room 10 had a wonderful morning with our grandparent. We learned a lot about the past. We got to look through some comics from the 1960s and 1970s, we looked at old coins, photos and we even did some dancing! It was a fantastic day. Thank you to all the grandparents for sharing their stories and memories with us

Room 10 made some lovely Saint Brigid’s crosses. It was tricky but we enjoyed learning a new skill!

The boys and girls from Ms. Walsh’s Senior Infant class went to visit Carlow library last week. During this visit they listened to a member of staff read them a story. They also got to pick a book to borrow. Each child was shown how to scan and stamp their own books.

The children had a great time and are looking forward to returning to the library again soon.

The children in First Class have enjoyed using iPads to help them learn and recall their number facts and tables. They are enjoying math games such as Eggy Number, Math Splat and Bingo.

We had a lot of fun taking part in Operation Transformation’s ten@ten this week!

Three lucky pupils got to meet Bishop Denis at Carlow Cathedral yesterday!

The pupils were learning all about fairtrade and put great effort into writing wonderful acrostic poems about it. Well done! 📝✏

The pupils created a colourful background using paint and used black and white card to create their penguins and decorated them using poms, feathers and buttons.

Thanks to Cell Explorers, Sixth Class enjoyed learning all about DNA and carried out an experiment extracting DNA from a banana which they brought home with them.

Well done to the full attenders and 95%+ attenders at St. Fiacc’s NS this Term. We all agree that coming to school every day matters!
