Presentation of Irish Flag and HSE Healthy Schools Flag

Last week, our school received two new flags. First, we got the Irish National Flag from the Army. The sergeants told us a little bit about what happened in 1916 and we were allowed to ask them questions. The Mayor of Galway, Frank Fahy came to visit for the ceremony. Niamh read out a paragraph from the proclamation and we sang the national anthem; Amhrán na bhFiann. We also received the HSE's Healthy Schools flag. We are the first school in Galway to get this flag! Our health promotion officers were Sian and Tess.

Maths Trail, Visit to Santa's Grotto and the Christmas Market

Maths Trail, Visit to Santa's Grotto and the Christmas Market

Here are a few photos from the Maths Trail we took part in last December. We walked to town and had to answer some Maths questions along the way. In town, we visited Santa's Grotto. We listened to a few stories from the elves and we even got to see Santa himself! We sang a few Christmas carols and went to the Christmas market to finish our Maths Trail. We got the bus back to school from Eyre Square. It was a fantastic day!
