School Bubbles.
When our Minister for Education, Norma Foley, asked school pupils to stick to their bubbles this year I'm sure she didn't expect the pupils in the Senior Room to take her so literally.
As part of their Science programme they spent time today creating and catching bubbles.
Thanks to past pupil Rachel Ward, who was back in our school on placement, for teaching this great lesson.
Please enjoy the photographs below.

GAA Coaching
We are very excited that Monaghan GAA will be coaching our students each Thursday until the middle of June.
As always, the emphasis will be on fun and participation so even if your child hasn't played before they will get to learn some of the skills of GAA in a friendly, fun way.
Now all we need is the good weather!
Going Green
We are already a 'Green School' but we are always working on ways to make our school more 'wildlife friendly'
We are grateful to Monaghan Credit Union for the gift of two native trees which we will plant soon.

Trick or Treat for Temple Street.
Well done to our wonderful and very generous families who contributed over €145 to Temple Street Hospital day.

ESERO Space Goes to School Programme
It's not every day that a graduate of the International Space University comes to visit a primary school.
The pupils in the Senior Room were lucky enough to have a zoom meeting with Aoife Murphy who is a mechanical engineer with a huge and very obvious interest in space.
Aoife is from Dublin and spoke with us about how she got her interest in 'space engineering' ( all we'll say is "be careful where you bring your children on holidays")
She spoke about the courses she has completed and some of the interesting people she has come into contact with.
It was great to hear her say that sometimes in the courses she wasn't too sure if she was doing everything correctly but that that's what learning is all about, challenging yourself and taking the next step.
After her talk she answered a lot of questions from the pupils.
Later that day Aoife sent us an email to thank us for having her, she also commented on the enthusiasm and inquisitiveness of the pupils and said that they were a real credit to the school.
We wish her all the best as she continues her studies and thank her for taking the time to visit us.
