Another extremely busy week here in St.Attracta’s. We began our swimming term , competed in the Féile Dramaiochta, prepared for our Mini 7’s Quarter Final on Monday and also the Connaught Spikeball Final’s which will take place in a few weeks. All of course alongside working very hard as always in class.

With so many students working so hard this week it was very difficult to choose  ‘Student’s of the Week’. However,the common themes throughout was the ability of all these students to work with others, cooperate, continue to improve across all the important subject areas and try so hard.

Comhghairdeas mhór do na paisti go léir. Tá sibh ag déanamh sár iarracht ar scoil. Táimid an bhródúil asaibh.

There is lots taking place again in school next week. We have Coicís na Gaeilge running over the next fortnight with lots of exciting events taking place to help promote and celebrate our beautiful native language.

On Monday the Senior Girls will play in the Mini 7’s Quarter Final in Swinford against Meelick N.S. and on Sunday March 16th our Boys team have been asked to launch the Allianz Cumann na mBunscol leagues at half time in the Mayo v Cork game in McHale Park.

We will also have to find time to celebrate National Tree Week and World Book Day ! Another busy week lies ahead !

Did you know that today is known as ‘Fat Thursday’ in Poland ? It is a very traditional Polish celebration which takes place always on the last Thursday before lent begins. It is similar to Pancake Tuesday which we will celebrate next week here in Ireland.

On this day Polish families eat doughnuts,cakes,biscuits and many more sweet things. The day gets its name from all the calories that are consumed !

We hope all our Polish families thoroughly enjoy themselves this evening!

Miejcie dobra zabawe !

Thank you to Daria,Pawel and Wiktoria from 5th/6th Class for all their help with this post.

We were delighted to reward these excellent students with the much sought after ‘Student of the Week’ award.
The teachers were again amazed that some of these students had yet to receive this award as they always work quietly and try their hardest.

It was also emphasised, the effort that the students are making preparing for their Irish plays. The teachers always need great cooperation and teamwork in the build up for such an important event on the school calendar and these students have given a great example in this area.

Others have also made great improvements in areas they found difficult earlier in the year and it really is great to see this.

Well done to all, we’re delighted with your progress!

Well done to our latest students of the week. The teachers, when announcing their individual class winners spoke so highly of each of the pupils.

Some of the students chosen this week could get the award every week such is the standard of their work and application!

Other’s have made a huge improvement and are continuing to work hard on area’s that they find difficult. One student was chosen in particular for his kindness towards another student who was upset and for a great improvement in his handwriting.

Well done to all ,it really is lovely to see the ‘happy faces’ when the students names are called and positive way to end another busy week !
