Mini 7s Competitions

In the last two weeks, teams from the school have competed in Mini 7s competitions in both hurling and football.

Mr McKeon's footballers bet Fenagh, but lost out to our neighbours Aughnasheelin.

Mr. Quinn's hurlers bet Gaelscoil Liatroma, but lost out again to Aughnasheelin!

Ready for action!

The lifts provided by parents to and from the events was greatly appreciated. Without this, the trips would not have been possible.

County Final Artwork

The pupils decorated the school in support of the Ballinamore Men's team, who play in the county final on Sunday. Best of luck!

Thanks also to Bernadette and Seamus, who helped with cutting, sticking, gluing and painting!

Sports Partnership - Coaching

Paul from Leitrim Sports Partnership visited us last week for an athletics session with each of the three classes in the school.

Paul will be visiting the school for the next few weeks to teach us about all about keeping active.

 We are really looking forward to the next few sessions!

Thanks Paul!

School Trip - Glenview Folk Museum

On Friday last, (11th Sept.) we visited Glenview Folk Museum, Aghoo.

First, we got to see the sheds outside, which had a collection of old vehicles and machinery which was used on farms in the past.

Next, we were given a tour of the street scene inside the museum, which has a reconstructed set of old shops, complete with products which would have been sold in them in the past.

Finally, we got to see the motorcycle collection and the refurbished travelling shop.

The Parents Association organised and funded the trip. A big thank you from all the students and staff in St. Patrick's B.N.S. for the trip!
Thanks also to the Kennedys for a very interesting and informative tour!

Here is the link for the museum's website.

Blast from the Past

We had a visitor on Friday last and were delighted and surprised to meet her. It was Miss Hanly and she brought us a Mr Freeze each! It was a lovely treat and so nice to catch up. Thanks Miss Hanly!

6th Class in their Final Term

It may have felt like June the last few days but it's only April! However we are preparing for the departure of our 6th class as they had their school photo taken today. It has been a very quick year and no doubt this term will fly. This picture was taken just before Eunan worked his magic this morning. Keep checking our blog for news and events from this term.

Primary Schools Debating Competition

Well done to our Debating Team- Seán, Euan and Danny- for all their hard work over the last few weeks. They were successful in Round 1 but lost their Round 2 Debate against Ballyfeeley National School yesterday evening in Carrick Education Centre. It was very close with the adjudicators having a tough decision to make. It was so enjoyable. I think we are one to watch for the future of the competition!
