Fifth Class

 On Thursday 11th 5th class went to the Town Hall Theatre to watch a production of a play called A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings. It was a wonderful story about an old man who was captured and locked in a cage because people thought he was an angel. At the end his wings grew back and he flew away. We really enjoyed our trip to the theatre.

 Congratulations and well done to Felicia in 5th class, winner of a fabulous hamper in the Halloween raffle. Thank you to everyone who supported our school raffle. Have a wonderful break, and see you all on November 1st. 

 We are delighted to hear that 5th class will be returning to Swimming Lessons in November. Ms Byrd's class will go on Mondays, and Ms Doyle's on Tuesdays, starting on Nov 1st. Pupils will go directly to the swimming pool on the morning of their lesson. Supervision will be provided at the pool from 8.40, and the lesson starts at 9am sharp. We will walk back to school afterwards, weather permitting. Lessons cost 5euro per week, for 7 weeks. So don't forget your swim kit! Ms Byrd on Mondays, Ms Doyle on Tuesdays!!

 Garda Cathal Buggy visited 5th class today, and explained some very important Halloween safety tips to us. He explained how we should be careful and safe over Halloween. Stay a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires. Have an adult with you when trick or treating, or at events. If you are dressed up in dark clothes, add reflective material or a torch, so that you can be seen by cars and cyclists. Make sure your costume is fire resistant. Do not buy or light fireworks. Keep pets indoors on Halloween night, and check on older people who may be frightened. Stay safe and have fun at Halloween.  Thank you Garda Buggy for coming in to see us today!!

 If you should happen to wander into 5th class, you will be seen by a lot of eyes!!! We have been hard at work in art class, and have produced some striking pictures. Have a look below, see what you think!

 Huge congratulations to Emma Cusack from 5th class, who is an Ulster Champion at Gaelic football! Emma was selected for the St Patrick's Area Community Games u12 gaelic football team, who went on to win the Community Games County final, and then won the Ulster final. Well done Emma and all the team. These girls are unstoppable! We wish them all the very best of luck in the National Final in Limerick in October. Go Emma!!!!

 Welcome back to Ms Doyle's and Ms Byrd's 5th class pupils! We are all delighted to be back in school again, in person and with our friends. We are working hard, and getting on great.  Today is a very special day in St Clare's, today we say goodbye to our wonderful caretaker Tommy. We would like to wish Tommy a wonderful retirement, full of happiness and joy.
