Murhur NS

Comhghairdeas to Gabriel Fitzmaurice our past teacher and principal on receiving a ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ at Listowel Writers’ Week. Gabriel has written more than thirty books including collections of poetry in both English and Irish. We have some budding writers from Junior Infants to Sixth Class hoping to follow in Gabriel’s footsteps!

Great to go on a School Tour again this year! Juniors, Seniors and 1st Class visited Streamside Stables.  They learned all about horses  and were introduced to a baby foal. This was followed by a trip to Loughill Playground where they had lots of fun in the sun.  They ended the day with a delicious ice cream back at school.

2nd 3rd and 4th class had a wonderful day at Crag Cave. They learned all about caves and their features! They spent time in the Play area and arrived back at school very tired indeed!

5th and 6th tour was a day at UL Sports Arena.  The children climbed out of their comfort zone and tackled the climbing walls without a second thought! All showed great team work through out while displaying their accuracy skills during the Archery event. They arrived back to school well pleased with their day!

The children decorated tealight holders, coloured beautiful pictures and wrote their own personal prayer to the Blessed Virgin.

We are delighted to announce that Murhur N.S. has recently achieved the Gold Standard Award for Farm Safety. We have been accredited as a ‘Farm Safe Super Star School’.  We will now be entered in the National Championship Category. We want to acknowledge all the children, parents and the wider community for helping us achieve this wonderful award by sending in pictures and attending various zoom calls, etc.  Míle Buíochas to all involved!
