It's hard to believe we're almost at the end of June and the end of what has been a very challenging year for us all. We thank each and everyone of you for your support and co-operation throughout the year in ensuring everyone remained safe and well.
We congratulate all the girls for their hard work and enthusiasm and wish them continued success and happiness in the final days of the term.

'Many hands make light work'

A huge, huge thanks to those of you who volunteered so generously of your time and energy to help clean up the school garden on Friday evening. The amount of work you all did was incredible and after just three hours of great team work, good fun and plenty of laughter, the garden and school grounds looked totally transformed. We are so genuinely grateful to you all.

OLOM Arts Week 2021

While we were all really sad that the OlOM Arts week came to an end`, it was an amazing week for everyone. With the weather on our side all week, the girls enjoyed lots of fabulous outdoor activities and workshops celebrating 
​creativity through music, art, drama and dance. A huge thank you to Ms Collins and Mrs Moloney and our fabulous Student Council who worked tirelessly planning and managing the week's events and activities....we loved every minute of it as you can see from the video above and the pictures here below:
What an amazing week we've had here in school to mark and celebrate Book Week and our love of reading. Thanks to Mrs Parkinson's hard work and dedication and the wonderful assistance of her 6th Class girls, the week was a massive success. From the very first day right to the end of the week, the atmosphere around the school was magical with classes enjoying remote visits of authors, illustrators and librarians , DEAR Time (Drop Everything and Read) Book Quizzes, Dress Up as favourite Character Day, Cake and Book Displays and lots more besides.  We loved every minute of it and hope you can savour some of the magic we all experienced from the slideshow here below..

'The fun is this school just doesn't stop and our recent Active School Week was testament to that very truth. What a fantastic week we had, with all sorts of out -door activities, dance work-outs, field trips and the much loved 'Sports for All' days. Special thanks to Mrs Parkinson and her amazing group of 6th Class girls for all their planning and organisation in making Active Schools Week such a massive success. 

While the Covid -19 pandemic had led to unprecedented disruptions in all aspects of life, it certainly hasn't stopped us from reading and here in school we continue to encourage everyone to read. Last week First Class  participated in a reading and drawing workshop with author/illustrator Paddy Donnelly and Sixth Class joined hydrologist Paul Wilson for a talk on ecology and unusual natural phenomena such as Vanishing Lakes. Fifth Class had a talk on spiders with a zoologist. This coming Monday Second Class are having online storytime with DLR libraries on the book 'Ronan and the Mermaid.'
Sixth Class also did a live weaving workshop through the Lexicon library. See the pictures below for their work.

Well done on your success!

A huge congratulations to Manha Pallikal Shiyas in Ms Hogan's class who had her story and poem published in the Fighting Words Website. We couldn't be prouder of her success and achievement. Well done Manha
