The visit of Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

December 9, 2022

The Taoiseach Mícheál Martin visited Our Lady of Lourdes N.S. today.  He had asked our Fifth and Sixth class girls to create his Christmas card for 2022. One of our sixth class girls created a beautiful card which will be sent by the Taoiseach to friends, family and heads of state all over the world. He told us that he had already posted his card to Joe Biden, President of the United States. Its wonderful that a card created by a pupil of Our Lady of Lourdes will be displayed in the White House. The Taoiseach praised the girls for their hard work and exemplary behaviour today. He also spoke to everyone about the importance of kindness at Christmas.  He spoke of his fondness for our school and about the lovely warm atmosphere and great learning traditions associated with Our Lady of Lourdes.

It really was a very memorable day for the entire school and we are very proud of everyone.

Volcanoes

Volcanoes

Rang a haon had so much fun learning all about volcanoes. They researched the names of volcanoes and learned a little about them, labelled diagrams, created fabulous explanation writing pieces and wrote up a science experiment, which they put all together in volcano shaped booklets they made themselves. In art they used plaster and paint to make their own volcanoes and carried out a science experiment to make that volcano explode. What a blast we had!
