Cregmore National School

Fantastic Fis!

Younger pupils of our school community recently enjoyed congratulating members from 4^th, 5^th & 6^th Class on their Fís Film Festival Award. Congratulations and well done to all involved.

Science Week 2016 took place from November 13^th – 20^th. We were very lucky to have a special guest come to visit us here at Cregmore N.S. Jane the Scientist came to the school on Monday the 14^th and conducted a variety of different experiments with each class group, from Junior Infants right up to 6^thclass. This provided both the children and teachers with the opportunity to learn about and participate in experiments based on sound, light, energy and forces and much more. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day!

Super Moon!

A rare "Super Moon" made the full lunar disc appear 14 per cent larger and up to 30 per cent brighter than usual as it rose above the rooftops on Monday 14^th November 2016, in an event described by Nasa as "undeniably beautiful". Pupils in our school thoroughly enjoyed researching and studying this incredible science.

Shoebox Success!

Over 140 shoe boxes were recently collected from our school as part of the Team Hope Annual Christmas Appeal. Many thanks to all who supported this very worthwhile cause. No doubt these shoeboxes will bring a smile to a Child’s face this Christmas season.

Incredible Infants!

Below are a selection of images of our incredible infants participating in playtime activities. These activities allow the Children to learn about themselves and the world around them. In particular playtime allows the pupils to:

· Learn to get along with others

· Sort conflict/resolve issues

· Practice language skills

· Develop small (fine) and large (gross) motor skills

In addition, play encourages independence, self-esteem & creativity.
