It was great to welcome everyone back to school after the summer holidays looking so refreshed and relaxed and ready to embrace a whole new academic year.
We were particularly excited about meeting our new Junior Infant girls for their first day of 'big school' and the beginning of their primary school journey. We hope that they, like everyone else, will feel very welcome and at home in Our Lady of Mercy and that we all have a healthy, safe and happy year ahead.

Special Memories

Despite the impact of Covid and the restrictions it imposed on us here in school, plenty of fun was had throughout the year as we enjoyed many special weeks and events with equal measure of enthusiasm and spirit. Take a look at some of our videos and slide shows attached here below to see just that......

Being kind and Caring

Last week in school, September 13th-17th, we went that extra mile to be kind and caring to all those around us with random acts of kindness, heartwarming gestures of friendship and general goodwill. It was a fantastic week all round and the positive atmosphere in the school was felt by all.

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.
