The Patrick Curtin Annual Memorial Tournament

There was great excitement at the Patrick Curtin Memorial Tournament at Moyvane G.A.A. pitch recently where the yellow bibs took on the red bibs.  Both teams showed great grit, determination and skill with the yellow bibs taking the title on the day!  Patrick was a fantastic player for Moyvane and Kerrry.  He is a role model for all our children and we keep his memory alive through this annual tournament.

A huge thank you to Patrick’s family who attended the tournament and presented the trophy and medals to the winners.  We would also like to acknowledge and thank Vincent Murphy, Castleisland who sponsored the medals. Thanks to referee/teacher Mr. McMahon, Mrs. Curtin and all involved in organising this annual tournament.

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.

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!
