During Term 3, we have danced with Moez and sang with Sarah each Monday and Thursday learning new steps and songs week by week. Thank you to Moez and Sarah for brightening up our weeks and expanding our curriculum.

As the boys and girls from Rang 6 prepare to move on to secondary school, Ms. Dunne, the staff and the wider school community would like to wish them well on their journey.

Go n-éirí an bóthar libh, a bhuachaillí agus a chailíní!

We hope you enjoy looking at some of their memories.

The last week of school is always a memorable one for Rang 6 as they begin to close the chapter on their Primary School days. Together with Mr Conway, Ms. Dunne, Ms Spillane and Áine, the boys and girls went to Oughvale Woods in Stradbally on Monday, June 20th. They went for a walk in the woods and gathered together at the Mass Rock where Fr. Ciprian celebrated the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The beautiful singing from Sr. Aoife in such a peaceful and magical setting made the occasion  really special. Thank you to Shane Redmond, Harry’s Dad, for capturing  the stillness and beauty of the day.

With the Scarecrow Festival in Durrow returning this year after the Covid-enforced absence, Mrs Dooley got to work with some of the children in Rang 1 to build two scarecrows for the event. With Mrs Dooley and Norah’s guidance, we can now confirm that they are safely in storage until the Scarecrow Festival begins in  Durrow on July 24th. Our very own Ratheniska scarecrows look forward to seeing you there!

Rang 3 made wrap pizzas in groups recently as a treat for working very hard this term and earning 1.000 points as a class on their class reward programme.
