Murhur NS

Children were busy litter picking recently. They are aware of how important it is to care for our community. Thank you to Moyvane Tidy Towns Committee who keep our village clean and tidy.

A big thank you to our Tidy Towns Committee who brought lovely flowers and helped the children to plant them in our flower boxes.

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.

Congratulations to the children who celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday 29th April!

There was a lovely ambience in each room during our mindfulness colouring class.

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!

Well done to all our diligent students who received their ‘You’ve Bee-n Amazing’ certs for March.

Well done to our 2 pupils who took part in the Cumann na mBunscol Cross Country competition in Tralee recently. Both girls showed great heart and determination and represented our school very well.

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!

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. 

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.

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!

Lá Fhéile Bríde was a special day at school. The children made lots of St. Brigid’s Crosses! These were sold locally to raise funds for UHK Palliative Care Unit.

A big ‘Thank You’ to the two teams who represented our school in the 2023 Credit Union Quiz in Listowel on Friday night.  A great effort by all involved!

Well done to all the boys and girls from 3rd to 6th class who represented Murhur NS at the Kerry Primary School Badminton Competition in Tralee recently.  All pupils were involved in very competitive games and showed great skill, comradery and sportsmanship on the day.

The children are very enthusiastic about our Music Generation Programme with “Ray – the Music Man”.  He visits every Thursday. We are so fortunate to be able to avail of this initiative here at Murhur N.S.  The children get the opportunity to play collaborative music on various percussion instruments and learn all about different genres!  The favourite so far is Rock and Roll!!

Well done to all the children in the Middle Room on their beautiful collaborative art piece to mark the New Year!

We are happy to announce that we have raised €225.30 – proceeds of Christmas Jumper Day. This money will go to our local branch of St. Vincent de Paul. Thanks to all who supported this worthy cause!

Congratulations to our Credit Union Art Competition winner.  Well done for the time and effort involved!

The Junior Room children are learning all about Advent and preparing for Christmas. They visited the church and had a chat about the Advent Wreath and all the coloured candles.  They all lit a candle and said a little prayer!
