Murhur NS

1st & 2nd class Murhur STEMgineers attempted a Pringle Ringle during STEM class. They worked together to attempt the Pringle Ring STEM Challenge. Each group started out with a plan and worked as a team to achieve this plan. There were some very hungry STEMGINEERS  afterwards!

Thank you to all who supported our fundraising clothes collection recently. We collected over 220 bags.

These items can be re-used and recycled in the developing nations of Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.

By re-using and recycling unwanted clothes, shoes, bags, etc we are fundraising for our school while also helping reduce the amount of material going to landfill thus reducing our carbon footprint!

Junior and middle classes were treated to a Puppet Show on Friday.

Learning while having fun!

Kerry Senior Footballer Jason Foley officially raised our Active School Flag on Friday 11th October. Teacher Mrs. Quill was the facilitator in this fantastic initiative which introduced many active events including the ‘Daily Mile’ to our school community.  Jason Foley spoke of the importance of establishing active habits and skills in primary school and carrying them on in later life.

Principal Mrs. O’Regan thanked Mrs. Quill and the Playground Leaders who assisted her for all their work. She also thanked Jason Foley for his inspirational words!

Children at Murhur N.S. marked ‘Porridge week’ on Thursday 10th October. This initiative is to encourage families to eat a  nutritious breakfast. Porridge was served with a variety of toppings. Yummy!

There were great celebrations in Murhur NS today as we were out in force to welcome home our triumphant Cumman na mBunscol team. Our boys and girls from 4th, 5th and 6th put on an excellent display of football and sportsmanship in the 3 Teacher final in O’Rahilly Park Ballylongford. They played Ballylongford in the first game and had a convincing win. In the next game they met a strong Asdee side, however, it was Murhur’s day and again went on to win with a score of 2.14 to 4.2. All taking part were a credit to themselves and their school, and an inspiration to the younger boys and girls who can’t wait to follow in their footsteps! Next round will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

Noreen Lynch retires after over 20 years in Murhur N.S. We wish her many years of good health, wealth and happiness in her retirement!

This year’s graduation mass took place at Moyvane Church on Wednesday 19th June.  All classes attended. For our 6th class children namely Áine, Cara, Jacinta, Mollie, Aoibhín, Cillian, Jack, James and Matthew it marked the end of their time at Murhur National School.  Now it is time for them to move on to a new school, meet new friends and face new challenges.

The class of 2019  are a credit to their families. Everybody here in Murhur N.S. is very proud of all that they have achieved over the past 8 years! Whatever journey life takes them on, we sincerely hope they will take their memories of Murhur N.S. with them.

Thanks to Fr. Kevin for celebrating mass and for his kind words for all involved.  The Parents’ Association presented a beautiful slate keep-sake to all the children and also provided refreshments after the ceremony.  Mr. McMahon gifted each child a ‘Memory Book’  a memento of their years in our school.

A huge thank you to all involved on this special day!

Children in 1st 2nd and 3rd classes had lots of fun at the Killarney Leisure Centre for their school tour. They played some team games and finished up with some time in the swimming pool.
