Darkness into Light 2021
Darkness into Light 2021
As part of the Darkness into Light Walk for Pieta House last week, the children in Scoil an Chroí Ró-Naofa held a Non-Uniform Day as a fundraiser for this great charity. Organised by Ms McGovern, children were asked to wear their own clothes for the day and pay €1 each for the priviledge. If possible, yellow was to be a theme of the day to follow the Darkness into Light colours.
What a great day we had! The sun shone brightly and the school was awash with colour! To keep in with the Darkness into Light tradition the classes took time out and went walking in support of the day. The Infants did a short tour of New Road, Main Street and Lumper Lane. First and Second Classes headed down to look at the wonderful native trees in the church grounds and the senior classes headed up Lumper Lane onto Main Street, down Riverside Park and back via Togher Lawns, Togher Road, Main Street and New Road!
And what a success the fundraising was. In a school of 252 children, €800 was raised and sent on to Pieta House today. Thank you to everyone. To the children for their efforts and contributions, to the parents for their support, to the teachers and staff for ensuring it was a fun event. Thank you all.
Check out a gallery of the day below!

Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021
Fáilte libh uile chuig Seachtain na Gaeilge 2021.
Leis na fabhanna atá ann le Covid, agus na páistí sinsireacha ag filleadh don chéad uair ón Nollaig ar an Luain, tá sé níos deachra Seachtain na Gaeilge a cheiliúradh i mbliana. Ach sin ráite, beidh na ranganna ag ceiliúradh thar an idirlíne agus sna ranganna. Chun cabhrú leis na tuismitheoirí, tá achmhainn dheas againn chun cúpla focal a labhairt, sa bhaile nó sna siopaí nuair atá tú iontu. Tá dhá chárta ó 'Bí ag Caint' le nathanna deasa simplí le fáil ag na nascanna seo!
Bí ag Caint Cárta 1 Cárta 2
With the difficulties around Covid and our senior classes only returning to the school building next Monday, for the first time since Christmas, it has made the celebration of Seachtain na Gaeilge more difficult this year. However, celebrate we will in whatever way or means we can, online and in the classrooms. As a help for parents we have a nice resource to help you use your 'cúpla focal' at home or in the shops. Why not check out the two cards from 'Bí ag Caint' at the links above!
Reading Challenge February 2021
Dear Children and Parents,
As we spoke about at our Assembly last week, we are planning a Reading Challenge for next week. We are keeping the challenge nice and easy, what we really hope is that children will do plenty of reading next week.
The children should receive two nice posters per family and a 'My Reading Record' sheet each (sample attached below) in the post on Monday or Tuesday. If you do not receive them, please let me know at 056 8831512 or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
The challenge is to read every day. You can read any book of your choice or use the RAZ+ to read. Read the paper, read a magazine, read a comic! We recommend that children try and read for 10-15 minutes a day.
Every day, record your reading onto the 'My Reading Record' sheet and at the end of the week, take a photo of your record and send it to your class teacher by Aladdin Connect or by email. Everyone who completes the challenge will receive a special cert, and classes where 75% of the class complete the challenge will receive a class reward when we return to school!
To make it a little easier to find time to read, each teacher is going to reduce your written work by one item each day next week.
So... Ready... Set.... Read!!!
