Message from Ms Brophy
We've reached the mid-term break, great to see all new students are well
settled in by now. We've had some great sporting events, Athletics, Swimming, u11 football and
of course our u13 football team have made it to the county final. Good
luck yo them and thank you to Mr.Hannigan and Mr.O Sullivan for all
their efforts. Maths
Week was a hive of activity and we came very close to the Top 10 in
the country in Mangahigh. It
was great to see all classes use our new computer room and our
new ipads, it's another fun way of learning.
I
wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween, enjoy the break and be
aware of elderly neighbours. Come back energised for the term ahead
Trick or Treat for Temple Street
Lots of boys brought in a donation for Temple Street Children's Hospital. We picked the best costume- It was Connor from 6th class.
Football
The
u11 football team participated in a blitz and did very well winning
one game and losing two in their group. With some excellent performances by a young team, the future looks bright.
Pride
of place must go to our u13 team who have qualified for the county
final! They have worked very hard throughout the year and deserve
their place in the final. The match will take place after the break.
We will face Cahir N.S in the final.

We also entered the Nenagh.ie and Credit Union art competitions and to celebrate Halloween, we made skeletons. We also finished our World Cup projects.
In
