The children were hard at work all week, baking treats, crafting Christmas logs, cards, calendars, and more—all for a very worthy cause. The proceeds were donated to Fr. Francis Sevlam, who is doing incredible work in India.
The turnout was fantastic, and the children were thrilled to see their handmade items selling out. Together, we raised an impressive total of €1,034.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported this effort. Your generosity is greatly appreciated!

Thank you Anthony, Ciara and Aisling from Polecat Springs water treatment plant who visited our school and gave us a very interesting talk about water treatment. We hope to visit the plant in the new year.
We had a brilliant day out in Dublin to see the Christmas Panto, Peter Pan in The Gaiety theatre last Friday. We travelled on the bus to The Gaiety theatre. We left the school at 7.45am and we arrived in Dublin at 10.30 am. We walked to the Gaiety theatre and Mrs Devaney gave us our tickets. When we got inside, we went upstairs and we sat and waited and we ate our lunches. The show started at 11 o’ clock. I was sitting beside Riley and Ella. The show was awesome. There was lots of singing and dancing. After the show we went back to the bus. We stopped at Mace and we bought some food and sweets. We arrived back at school at 5pm. Everybody had a great day.

It was Science Week this week and we did lots of experiments and quizzes in school. One of the experiments we did in the senior room was an explosion using vinegar, washing up liquid and baking soda. We also did dancing raisins and blew up balloons with carbon dioxide (CO2) using baking soda and vinegar. In the junior room they made green slime and rafts and musical instruments. We had great fun this week.

This year in Aughrim N.S. we made Christmas shoeboxes. We put presents in them and when we were finished we brought them to school. The shoeboxes are for poor children in other countries. In the shoeboxes you can put in clothes, colouring books, a pack of jellies, toys and some other things too. This week the shoeboxes were collected and taken away for the poor children.

Some spooktacular costumes on show again this year! 🧛♂️
We had another fantastic Maths Week this year, filled with a variety of problem-solving activities and exciting maths trails. A big congratulations to Eoin, who won our “Guess the number of sweets in the jar” competition—he was only one off from the correct amount and was thrilled with his prize! Fair play to Eoin for generously sharing his sweets with the other children.
Please see our gallery for lots more photos of Maths Week.
Some lovely autumn and Halloween art done in school this week. 🎨 🍁
Best wishes to Chloe, Rían and John who have finished their time in Aughrim N.S. We wish them the very best of luck in secondary school. We have no doubt that they will continue to succeed and do themselves and their families proud.
We finished off our year with a Sports Day on Monday. We had all the traditional races as well as stations and co operative games. Well done to all who took part!
