Amber Flag

We are delighted to announce that we have achieved yet another award here in Murhur NS!  We have been awarded our first Amber Flag.  The Amber Flag is awarded to schools on their commitment to promoting positive mental health. Pieta House was very impressed with the wide variety of wellbeing activities our school has engaged in this year and was delighted to receive a donation of €345 raised through Crazy Hair Day recently.  We look forward to having our flag flying proudly outside our school in the very near future. 

A huge thank you to Ms. O’Flaherty for all her hard work during the year to achieve this award for our school.

Buddies

3rd Class buddied up with children in the Junior Room helping them with coding using our Beebots.  They also guided them on how to play with giant board games in the school yard.

 

The Music Man

We were sad to say goodbye to ‘Ray’ our music man! Ray visited us every week. We learned all about listening and responding to music while studying some music theory in a fun way. He taught us how to play the ukelele!!!  Thank you Ray, hope to see you next year!

Congratulations to the 3 boys and 3 girls who represented our school in the North Kerry GAA Skills competition which was held in Duagh recently. They did our school proud and showed great skill and talent on the day. A big thank you to the parents who drove the children to Duagh, without their help it would not be possible to compete in these competitions.

Wellness & Friendship Week

Yard Buddies featured in Wellness & Friendship Week recently. The Senior classes set up activities for the younger children showing great initiative in setting up an obstacle course and organising a parachute game.  The Junior classes loved working with the older children.  The 5th and 6th also created little complimentary pouches with fabulous compliments to put in them.  Well done!

We had a wonderful day at school celebrating World Book Day. Children dressed up as their favourite book character ranging from princesses to superheroes. Lots of fun at school!

 

Shrove Tuesday

It was a delightful day at school with the aroma of pancakes filling the classrooms. Children learned all about the feast day and decided what they would ‘give up’ for Lent before sampling some delicious pancakes. 

BEE Proud!

At our recent Assembly to celebrate our ‘Work to BEE Proud of’ we were delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate the children’s Acts of Kindness, progress in cursive writing and their overall work ethic.  Well done to all.

Salut!!

There was a big welcome back for our French teacher Miriam. She will visit the school for 8 weeks this year. She was very impressed by how well the children remembered the French words and phrases they learned last year!
