Lá Fhéile Pádraig 2022 - junior room

 St Patrick's Day  was celebrated on March 16th in St Cronan's this year!

First of all, we had a "Wear Green Day" which got us in the spirit of our national feast day.

After small break, we all gathered in the school yard and each class performed some songs and dances. We finished up with rousing renditions of Ireland's Call and Amhrán na bhFiann. 

Here are some photos and videos of the day. Here is part 1- middle room, senior room and baking pictures to follow in part 2.

Junior Room

Volleyball- Regional finals

 On Tuesday March 8th, the senior room (4th,5th and 6th Classes) took part in the regional finals of a volleyball competition in Ballinasloe. We contested all 3 competitions on the day, Girls 4v4, Boys 4v4 and Mixed 4v4. Each team played 4 games and played very well. They were unlucky to miss out on the knock-out stages. 

Well done to Mr. Brennan and all the pupils for representing the school so well.

Pancake Tuesday 2022

 

On Tuesday March 2nd, the whole school enjoyed delicious pancakes. Thanks especially to Mary, who slaved over a hot crepe maker all day to keep us fed! Every classroom had their turn and we could choose from nutella, lemon and sugar or strawberry sauce!! Yum,Yum!!

Food Dudes February 2022

As a follow-on to our Food Dudes programme in 2019/2020, Lusmagh N.S. took part in "Food Dudes Week" from February 14th- 18th 2022.The Food Dudes programme is a healthy eating initiative organised by Bord Bia. It encourages children to eat more fruit and vegetables. The Department of Health recommends that children and adults eat 5-7 portions of fruit and vegetables each day.

Each day from Monday to Thursday, we received a portion of fruit and vegetables to try out in school. We had apple slices, mandarin oranges, blueberries, cucumber, carrot batons and  pepper slices. Unfortunately, due to Storm Eunice our driver couldn't deliver our fruit and vegetables on Friday but the response from the children was super on the other 4 days. 

Most children ate all their portions and some even tried fruit and vegetables that they hadn't liked before! Well done everyone! Junior infants, senior infants and 1st class also received lovely new Food Dude lunchboxes so they can bring their own fruit and vegetables in from home from now on.

We look forward to having the healthiest children in County Offaly!

Book Fair 2022

 Last week on February 14th, our Book Fair opened in St. Cronan's school hall.

 There was a great selection of books for all ages and we enjoyed browsing the book shelves. The most popular books in the senior classroom were Dog Man, Tom Gates and David Walliams books and also The Darkest Unicorn series. 

The junior  classroom really loved The Giggle Pigs, I need a new bum, Dogman, Catkid Comic Club, Superworm and Puppy Place.

The middle classroom loved Gangsta Granny Strikes again, The Wizards of Once series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, Dogman and Catkid books by Dav Pilkey,Tom gates books, Animal Ark, Tommy, Captain Underpants and The Worst Witch series.

Thank you very much to all the families who supported our book fair this year. A total of €1130 was collected and that means we get to spend €678 (60% of our total) on books for our classrooms! This will mean lots more interesting, up to date books and class novels to read in the year ahead.

Christmas Songs and Drama 2021

Once again this Christmas, Lusmagh's reputation for exceptional drama and song was shown in St. Cronan's NS. Each classroom put together a lovely play for our community to enjoy online. We also had some super singing to add to the festive atmosphere. We hope you enjoy watching!
