There was great excitement in school this week when Santa made a surprise visit. He arrived into the yard on his sleigh with Rudolph guiding the way! We were delighted to hear he just has a few more presents to pack and then he’ll load up the sleigh, feed the reindeer and start his journey around the world to deliver all the presents.  

We couldn’t be prouder of our girls’ team and their coaches for retaining the title of the Meath Cumann na mBunscol Division 1 final for the Third year in a row! The girls were up against St. Paul’s from Navan in the final and won by an impressive eight points! A massive congratulations and thanks to everyone involved.

Ms. Preston’s First Class were very busy learning all about money this week. They’ll be buying and selling us in no time! 

Last week was Maths Week in the school and the children had great fun doing lots of extra fun maths activities. Have a look below at some photographs from the week. We put in a maths puzzle at the end to get your brains working!

Huge congratulations to all of the children in Fifth and Sixth Class who were involved in the School Student Council Elections. The walls of the school were covered in a sea of election posters and manifestos, while the children were busy canvassing anyone they met! Each class nominated four of their peers to run for election. On Election Day each of the children then presented to the Fifth and Sixth Classes on why they should be voted for. We were incredibly proud of how well all of the children spoke and we can safely say there are definitely some future politicians in St. Paul’s! We look forward to seeing the Student Council in action over the year.

We are very lucky in St. Paul’s to have sets of iPads and Chromebooks in the school. These are used regularly by the children for various different purposes. In these photos we see Ms. McGeough’s class using the iPads to do a Kahoot quiz on Irish vocabulary and Ms. Cogrove’s class are using the Chromebooks to do project work. They are a fantastic resource to make learning more fun and of course to make sure our children are Tech Savvy.
