We have been exploring Pop Art. We looked at the work of Burton Morris. We looked at some of his most popular work: "Pop!" and "Coffee". We noticed how he uses bright colours and bold lines to make his art stand out. "Pop!" and "Coffee" by Burton Morris We made Valentine's hearts inspired by his work. We also looked at Andy Warhol's work. We noticed he repeats the same image in different colours to create patterns in some of his art work. Andy Warhol We made our own Andy Warh

3rd and 4th class were busy learning all about bia as Gaeilge. We practiced new vocabulary and useful phrases, wrote a pizza recipe and then put our learning into action by making our own pizzas. A fun and tasty way to bring our Gaeilge learning to life! 🍕

To celebrate St Brigid's Day we made these crosses by weaving with wool and creating colour patterns. We also read a lovely poem about St Brigid's crosses and learned about the traditions behind them.

In January, we read a poem about fireworks. We talked about exciting words to describe them and then we wrote our own verses from the firework's perspective. To bring the poem to life, we made 3D fireworks inspired by the poem, experimenting with different paper techniques.

Our 3rd–6th class students enjoyed using LEGO Spike kits this month as they explored programming and engineering concepts. They designed and built a variety of models and then wrote code to make them move and respond using motors and sensors. They also learned how to debug their code by testing, identifying errors, and making improvements when things didn’t work as planned. Students developed important skills such as coding, problem-solving and critical thinking. They also sh

3rd and 4th class made these beautiful winter woolly hats. We carefully used the paper weaving method to create colourful patterns.

3rd - 6th class pupils recently completed a brilliant 6-week multi-sports programme with Youth Sport West to promote increased participation in sport and physical activity. The children enjoyed basketball, athletics and olympic handball - building their skills, confidence and teamwork, all while having fun. Huge thank you to our coach Bernie for her expertise and encouragement.

Our annual Christmas performance takes place next week. Hope to see you all there.

1st - 4th classes had a wonderful trip on Tuesday to see ‘Glitchmas’ in the Hawkswell Theatre in Sligo. Thank you to Niamh McGrath and Orla McSharry who generously made time to take a photo with us after the performance. Thank you also to the entire cast and crew for a wonderful show.

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 had an exciting Maths Week in 3rd and 4th class! We played lots of maths games on the iPads. We enjoyed playing dice games too. We used our maths eyes to see maths in everyday things and talked about how maths is all around us. This helped us realise that maths is everywhere! One of the highlights of the week was the daily maths riddles. Some of them were tricky, but we loved figuring them out together!

This month 3rd and 4th class explored the strand of Construction in Visual Arts - and the results were spooktacular ! Focusing on line and shape, we made unique 3D pumpkins and Halloween lanterns. We also worked as a team to build a giant spider using recycled materials. We are very proud of all our creepy creations! 🎃 🕷️

In Science, 3rd and 4th class carried out an exciting experiment to explore the effects of different drinks on our teeth. Since eggshells are similar in composition to tooth enamel, we used them to test our question: Which drinks damage our teeth? We placed eggs in six different liquids—fizzy drink, milk, orange juice, MiWadi, water, and an energy drink—and left them for a week. The results were eye-opening! Some eggs were badly stained or had weakened shells, while others st

3rd and 4th class have had a busy and creative term. We began with this unique self portrait project. Our finished pieces are proudly on display — each one as original as the artist.

In SPHE, 3rd and 4th class have been learning all about growth mindset—the idea that we can develop our abilities through effort, perseverance, and a positive attitude. We explored how challenges help us grow, mistakes are opportunities to learn, and that with resilience, we can achieve great things. To reflect on this learning, we created inspiring animal-themed artwork, each paired with a motivational message. From brave lions to calm koalas and determined ants, the art sho

We hope everyone is having a great summer. We will be delighted to welcome back all our pupils next week. We especially look forward to welcoming our junior infant children who will be starting their first day in school!

We had a lovely time exploring the sea shore today. We discovered lots of little crustaceans and various types of seaweed. We also covered a little local history on the way there!

We are thrilled to announce that our school has been awarded its 10th Green Flag, this time for Global Citizenship – Food and Biodiversity! This prestigious achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire school community in promoting environmental awareness, sustainable food choices, and the protection of biodiversity.

1st - 4th classes had a super, fun filled day at the Let’s Go multi activity camp at Sligo ATU today.

The weather didn't get in the way as we had a thoroughly enjoyable Sports Day with lots of fun team games and activities. We are very lucky to have our yard, pitch and soft play area for these days.

Well done to our boys team on winning the Sligo Cuman Na mBunsol gaelic football shield final. We defeated Monasteraden NS in a closely fought battle, on a wet evening that could have gone either way. The boys and girls teams in our school have great potential. Keep training with Easkey Gaa and Eoghan Rua during the holidays!

Busy Bees! We had a great day with Peter Neary where we learned all about our native bees and the wonders of how honey is produced. It was fascinating.

We were delighted to welcome back Taragh Cosgrave from Edible Landscapes. Our 3rd and 4th classes weeded around our existing herbs and apple tree. They also planted lemon balm, honey berry and strawberry plants. We can't wait to sample the fruits of our labour!

Our Lorg Na Scealaiochta story telling trail took place in Kilglass Woods. The event was the culmination of two years of creative endeavours by our local schools.
