Kilmacduagh

Kilmacduagh

On the 9th of October we were very fortunate to have a visit from Mr. Tom Doherty. He first gave us a talk on Kilmacduagh, its history and some stories about St. Colman. After break we went to Kilmacduagh  and Mr. Doherty joined us there. We learnt a lot and really enjoyed our trip.

Below are the models the children made of Kilmacduagh.

Middle Classes

We have had a great first month back to school. Ou first class have settled in very well. We have been focussing on friendship and paying compliments to each other. The children are showing great kindness and are reaping the benefits of having good friends.
 We are practising our frásaí Gaeilge every week. We are learning about Kilmacduagh and will be going on a field trip there in the next few weeks. Lots of fantastic models of Kilmacduagh have come in. Thanks to parents for all their help at home.
We are enjoying our art work also.

Middle Classes 2019-2020

Welcome back to the boys and girls in first, second and third classes. We are looking forward to a great year in the middle room. The children have settled in well and are practising lots of random acts of kindness both in the classroom and outside which makes everybody happy.We are currently studying Coole Park in preparation for our forthcoming field trip which we are really looking forward to.

Thoor Ballylee

Thoor Ballylee and Friendship Fortnight

We have been learning about Thoor Balylee and have made models, designed pictures and painted our sketches of the castle. We are going to visit Thoor Ballylee on the 21st of September 2017.  A big thank you to the parents and older siblings who helped with the models and any pictures done at home.  The work done was fantastic and the children really enjoyed the experience.

Since we came back to school we have been focusing on friendship and inclusion. To this end we have been assigned buddies in the junior room, we have a buddy bench in the yard to ensure everybody is included and we have designed posters and slogans to encourage friendship. 

Welcome back 2017 - 2018

A big welcome back to our First, Second and Third class children. We are very excited to be back  and are looking forward to a great year in St. Thomas N.S.  We have had a very exciting start to our school year  with our Senior and Minor hurlers winning the All Ireland finals. We were very  lucky that  the Galway captain, David Burke and Mr. Cooney brought the Liam Mc Carthy Cup to  our school. We all  thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
