All Saints' National School

To say it was emotional is an understatement. Today we said goodbye to our 6th Class Girls. We laughed and we cried and Mrs Kenny cried some more. Well done to everyone on all of their achievements this year. Thank you to the some of team from Wicklow for bringing the Nicky Rackard Cup to the school for the children to see. Maybe one day they will be rising the cup in Croke Park. We also raised our 8th Green School Flag today for Global Citizenship: Marine Life.

Thank you to all of the parents, staff and pupils for making today a memorable one for our 6th class leavers. We wish them every success and happiness in their future education. We will miss them so much! Thank you to Rev’d David Bayne for coming to our graduation ceremony and saying such lovely words about our school community. Thank you to Garda Michelle for giving them a surprise treat to finish off their journey in All Saints’ National School. We hope everyone has a lovely summer break!

What a beautiful day we had to play our annual soccer blitz on Thursday 15th June. A Huge thank you to Matt and his team from Gorey Central National School for a well organised event, full of fun and cheers! Thank you to our coach Gary, our ref Mark, our parents and above all our pupils who gave it their best in all their matches. Well done to all!

The whole school really enjoyed Film Making with Helen Flannagan. The children decided on what theme they would like to create a script for, the characters we would use, the plot, the climax and the solution. The junior pupils enjoyed shadow puppetry and it blended in great with our finished film.

What a day for our Sports Day! The sun was shining, the sponges were flying and the teachers were buying! (Yummy Ice cream!) Thank you so much to Kilcommon National School for another great day of rugby, team building, yoga with Ms Kiersey and wetting the teachers went down a treat! Well done to all involved. The children had a great day!

WOW! What a thrilling day we had today at Emerald Park!!! The pupils and staff of All Saints’ had a fantastic time. Hats off to everyone who went on the Cú Chulainn! It is not for the faint hearted! Thank you to Emerald Park for a great, well run day out! We can’t wait to go again!

Huge thank you to The Tidy Town Committee for the Pollinator Friendly Sign and the wonderful bug/bee hotel! We hope the bees will like our lovely flowers!

We welcomed Therese to our school to enhance our ability in using the Stop Motion Studio! The children came up with some great animations. Well done to all!

We also enjoyed a very fun and informative presentation from TY students on the effects of too much time on Technology! They have set us a challenge to cut down on our devices and we accept this challenge! They will be back in a few weeks to ensure we have tried our best to do other activities in order to minimise our screen time.

Thank you so much to Coláiste Bhríde for organising our visit to meet author of our class novel “A Place Called Perfect.” It was great to meet Helena and ask her some interesting questions to learn more on how an author gets their ideas for a book and how to can organise publication. We look forward to reading the rest of the books in her series.

We recently enjoyed celebrating Active School’s Week. We played badminton, table tennis, rugby, soccer, yoga and some good old fun indoor/outdoor games. Thank you to the Senior Room students for making and setting up games for the junior room to enjoy!

Many thanks to Tinahely Courthouse for running an amazing workshop with the children. They designed a collaborative art project, recorded music and played with shadows! The process was great fun and we are delighted with how it all turned out! Just take a look at our creativity!
