Thanks to Mrs Margaret Lane, from Sentinus, who came to St Mary’s last Friday to facilitate prtactical workshops on Renewable Energy for P7 and P6/7. Pupils created minitaure wind turbines, wired a solar circuit to power a propeller and also conducted an experiement on the force of hydro power.
The hands-on activities enhanced pupils’ knowledge of this increasingly important topic, and followed on from work completed in class around the recent COP26 summit in Glasgow.
Our P7’s were hououred to be asked to create two canvases for use in a ceremony to mark Catholic Schools’ Week later in the year. The themes were “ Spiritual” and “Cultural”. They had so many great ideas and worked together as a team to create these fabulous pieces. We are very proud of what they have achieved.
Here are some close ups showing some of the detail…
It was a busy week in St Mary’s as we celebrated Maths Week Ireland 2021. Everyone from Nursery to P7 enjoyed participating in an array of Maths Week activities. Congratulations to everyone who participated, all of our prize winners, P3a for guessing the correct amount of pumpkins in the jar, P6 for correctly guessing the weight of the pumpkin, and a special shoutout to Master McCoy’s P7 class for winning one of the St. Paul’s Maths Week Challenges. Thank you to everyone who helped to make Maths Week such a great success. Have a lovely Halloween break!
Great day for our Sponsored Walk- thank you everyone for your support! More pictures to follow in the days to come!
Pictures from P7 Group 2’s trip up Slieve Gullion today, we were so lucky with the weather! Group 1 photos to follow- (too many for one post!)
Dear P7 Parent/Guardian,
The weather forecast is looking fine for tomorrow so we will go ahead with the planned hike up Slieve Gullion for our 2nd Group of P7’s.
Boots and a water/wind proof jacket and trousers are provided with a rucksack to pack everything in.
It is a good idea to bring a change of clothes, including dry socks to leave back in school on the off chance they are needed.
We will leave around 9:30 and we will be back for home time as normal at 3:00 pm.
We hope everyone has a great day out, remember it will be much colder on top!!

P7 have enjoyed two fun-filled workshops this week. On Wednesday, we welcomed Cormac & Rachel from “HIP Pyschology” who delivered a interactive presentation on how to developing resilience / dealing with difficult situations. It was a big hit and the children have added some new startegies to their toolkits for the years ahead. On Thursday, Cathy from Young Enterprise came in to launch the Business Beginnings project for this year. Again, it was great fun and the class will now get to work on planning their own business. Watch this space!
Violin lessons resume tomorrow Tuesday, 14th of September for those P6 and P7 pupils who were involved last year.
Please have your child bring their instrument and music folder into school. Lessons will take place in the Assembly Hall, starting at 9:15 am.
Best wishes to Clare our strings’ tutor and all the children taking part, we look forward to the sweet sound of violins filling our corridors on a Tuesday morning again!

Congratulations to the Class of 2021 who finished their time at St Mary’s this afternoon. Some pupils gathered in class with others joining in online via Collaborate from home to enjoy one final assembly together. A few highlights from their P7 year are in the video & images below.
A huge well done to the winners of the Master Pius Tierney Cup and Mrs Anne Murphy Cup. These two esteemed trophies were awarded to two very deserving candidates pictured below. We hope that all of the outgoing P7 pupils have a great summer and we wish them well for September and the start of the next stage of their education in Post Primary School. Good luck from everyone in St Mary’s Mullaghbawn!
