The pupils from the Junior classes in Greaghrahan NS and Newtowngore NS came together to explore the theme of Hallowe'en through Aistear. The children developed their problem solving skills as they worked as a team at the Hallowe'en games station. They had lots of fun as they used their creativity in the Role-play corner to conjure up magic spells to cast on their victims. They also learned Literacy, Numeracy and SESE skills through the theme of Hallowe'en during their two shared learning sessions. Thank you Newtowngore NS. We really enjoyed having you with us for Hallowe'en and we are looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Greaghrahan NS played host to all kinds of ghouls, goblins, ghosts, vampires and witches on Wednesday evening as the children attended our Hallowe'en Party. There were edible treats and party games and even a scary story for those who were brave enough! A huge thank you to our Parent Association who put so much work into making the evening a fun and memorable occasion for all the children. Check out the party page below!

Maths Week 2019 took place from 14 - 18th October. Maths Week Ireland promotes awareness, appreciation and understanding of maths through a wide variety of events and activities. The Junior Room are now in the third week of their Numeracy stations. The Senior Room have been doing a range of activities including maths trails and problem solving. You can see our young mathematicians in action  below.

Our Junior Infants have been having fun exploring the playground and its endless opportunities for physical and social development. "How high can I climb on the ropes? Am I brave enough to cross the rope bridge? Or go down the fireman's pole? Is there place for me on the see-saw and will we balance or need to swap places?" They have been learning about turn taking and teamwork on the spinner and see-saw. They have had their physical capabilities challenged on the climbing frame. The Mars Rover has provided limitless opportunity for dramatic play as the children use their imagination to explore their environment. What a fun way to learn and make friends at the same time!

Look who we spotted in this week's Anglo Celt. Well done Charlotte, James, Evan and Cormac!
