P5/6 plant potatoes

Today pupils from P5/6 planted potatoes in our vegetable garden. Thanks to Mickey Walsh, Grandad of Tiarnan Murphy, pupils are experts in planting potatoes. They also have taken great pride in the fact that their drills are very straight. 

Lip Dub Celebration

Today St Mary's staff and pupils celebrated the creation of their Lip Dub which reflects the life of their school. They celebrated this wonderful achievement with a whole school viewing of the Lip Dub, a special cake and a presentation of a framed collage of positive comments posted on the internet. It was a great occasion for all involved!

Lip Dub in St Marys Primary School

The whole school recorded this Lip Dub on Friday. This video is part of the Comenius Project and it shows our school and some things about our country like sports, music... We try to expose our culture to other countries with this video. We all enjoyed making the Lip Dub and everyone was superb, particularly the children.  You can see the result of a good job in the Gadget Bar!
