We had an exciting day in Rathlee NS as our 3rd–6th class pupils proudly showcased their projects for our Science Fair, held as part of Science Week 2025. The event gave pupils the opportunity to become real scientists - investigating, experimenting, and sharing their discoveries with others. Each class began by presenting their experiments in their own classroom. Pupils demonstrated their work, explained the scientific ideas behind it, and answered questions from their peers

We were delighted to welcome Sligo ladies senior champions Eoghan Rua to our school. A special congrats to past pupils Leanne Taylor, Orna O'Dowd and Claire Duffy! Best of luck to the girls in their Connaught quarter final v Glencar-Manorhamilton.

5th and 6th enjoyed another busy maths week. We combined maths and wellbeing by surveying all the children in our school about pe. Our research and analysis produced some very interesting results. We also put our analytical skills to good use when doing our daily problem solving. Finally, we all know that maths is all around our environment so we used our school grounds to carry out a very enjoyable maths trail!
