We celebrated Grandparents’ Day with two beautiful presentations from Senior Infants and Sixth Class. Senior Infants sang lovely songs, showed pictures and spoke about their grandparents and the special people in their lives. Our Diocesan advisor Sr. Antoinette, joined the celebration which was very special for us. A cup of tea and a yummy bun followed! Well done to all the wonderful children, grandparents and teachers who joined together for this special occasion. Listen to our lovely Senior Infants singing ‘We Sing a Song to Brigid’.

Sixth Class followed with their presentation. Grandparents listened to lovely prayers read by pupils. After their prayer service, grandparents and pupils played a selection of games and partook in a variety of activities. Well done to all who helped organise this special event.

Pupils enjoyed Science Week here in Presentation Primary and the theme was “Regeneration”. Lots of fun activities, experiments and learning took place over the course of the week.

Pupils took part in a variety of Science Stations where they tried lots of different experiments. A huge thank you to Mrs McCarthy for organising such a great event. Everybody really enjoyed it and the experiments were great fun.

Science Week is the national week of celebration of science with hundreds of events for people of all ages taking place across Ireland.

Our ongoing aim here at school is to raise our pupils’ interest and curiosity in Science so please take some time to ask about what your child has been learning and enjoying during Science Week.

Witches, goblins, ghosts and ghouls were seen moving around Presentation Primary School on Friday 25th October! Great fun was had by all on dress-up day. Lots of pupils took part in traditional Halloween games and some even got to go trick or treating!
