0 Comments

 
There was much excitement in the Greaghrahan school community when on Monday 15th November, Krafty Kidz Playschool and Creche, Ballyconnell opened a new After School facility at the school. This is a new venture which we hope will alleviate the difficulty many parents have in sourcing suitable after school care for their children. The one hour club is proving very popular with the infant classes, while the older children are kept busy with activities provided by Diane, Emily and Margaret. Places may be booked by contacting Annette or Elaine ny email at playtime16@gmail.com or on (049) 9526045. A breakfast club may be provided in the future if there is sufficient demand for such a service.

Polar Express Party Day

19/12/2021

0 Comments

 
There was great excitement in the school on the Friday before Christmas when the children swapped their school uniforms for pyjamas and boarded the Polar Express for the Greaghrahan NS Christmas Party. After having their tickets stamped it was time to climb aboard to begin the magical journey. The day's activities were based around the theme. The children decorated gingerbread men, completed film and book studies on the movie, wrote a recipe for hot chocolate, performed reader's theatre, and completed writing and art based on the Polar Express theme. All classes had a thrilling ride on the magnificent steam engine which was decorated by the Senior Room. Music and steam engine sound effects enhanced the magical atmosphere for the excited passengers. Of course the day would not have been complete without a viewing of the movie. Giant cookies were provided, washed down with hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows. The day ended with a surprise treat from Santa for all who believe! Thanks to SNA Karen, Ms. Smith and secretary Rhona for helping the teachers to prepare this special day for the children.

The students in the Senior Room were delighted to be presented with a selection box from Mrs Smith in St Mogue's College, Bawnboy. The Transition year students have been working with the Senior Room every fortnight on an Irish language initiative between St Mogue's College and Greagharahan NS. The main aim is to develop the students conversational skills and create an environment where the language can be promoted. We look forward to working with St Mogue's College in the new term.
