On Thursday the 24th of September our cross country team travelled to Lees Road for the Cross Country Running Competition. We left on a bus at around 10 o’clock with Tina, Colm and Anne. There were around 40 kids from our school racing on the day. When we arrived we changed into our running gear and we got our t-shirts with our numbers. We put on our spikes and we warmed up. The first races were in the under 8 category. The girls ran first and then the boys. We won four medals in this category individually and in a group also. Then the under 10s ran and the over 10s competed after that. Unfortunately we did not win any medals in these categories. As a result, the under 8 winners from our school will race again in three weeks’ time in Lees Road.

After all of the races we enjoyed some cookies, oranges and Mi-Wadi! We then got back on the bus and returned to school. It wasn’t too mucky on the day which was great, and the weather was nice too. We are looking forward to the next day out racing in a few weeks’ time.

On Monday the 22nd of June we held a Junk Kouture Fashion Show in school. Pupils from all classes were encouraged to upcycle a piece of clothing or to use old clothes to create something new. We set up a catwalk in the hallway and each pupil that created something got the chance to walk the catwalk!

Well done to all pupils who took part, there were fabulous creations displayed on the day. Congratulations to Marcel (2nd class), Jodie (Senior Infants), Aoibhín (4th class), Anaiyah (3rd class) and Finley (Senior Infants) who were prize winners on the day.

Marion Keane Basketball Champions 2026

On Wednesday the 15th of April our girls basketball team played in the Marion Keane Basketball final in Ennis National School. There were thirteen of us on the panel and five players played at a time. Our coaches were Shona and Anne and we prepared a lot before the final. We arrived in Ennis National School at around half nine and warmed up for the game. In the first match we played against Killaloe N.S. and we won this game by a good margin. After this game we had a short break and then we progressed to the final game against Lahinch N.S.

In this game we played well in the first half but they were a strong team and in the final fifty-two seconds we were two baskets down. Saoirse scored one basket but we were still down by one point. Then in the final two seconds Lillie scored a basket to put us ahead by one point. We emerged as winners and we were so relieved! We are now the Marion Keane Basketball Champions for 2026. We are so proud of our team and the great effort that we put in on the day. To celebrate we went to the Banner Plaza for food and then came back to school where we were welcomed with a guard of honour!
