Lismire NS Lismire Splits For Summer

Community News

With another very busy term in Lismire National school, the children enjoyed many activities. The children in 5th and 6th were delighted when they received their plaque for their entry to the Curious Minds competition. They worked very hard last term on this STEM project - well done 5th & 6th Class! The children in 1st and 2nd class had their First Communion in Lismire Church on the 20th of May - a great day was had by all and the rain even managed to stay away! The children participated in a number of football blitzes and they also enjoyed a tag rugby blitz. Drama is a big part of our Community and what better way to develop the skills and talents of our children than a workshop with Comedian

Bernard Casey! There was great excitement in advance of the visit. The children got really involved in the games and drama pieces and it proved to be excellent for team building, decision making and creativity. Bernard’s content was most entertaining with a humorous theme throughout. Of course there were mixed emotions as we had the farewell graduation for our fabulous 6th class. It was a lovely occasion shared with family and friends. We wish our wonderful 6th class the very best for their next chapter and hope they will come back to visit us! The annual school tours were greatly enjoyed by all. The junior room headed for Fota Wildlife Park, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip around the park with the train ride being the highlight! The middle and senior room went bowling and to the inflata park at Little Island - finishing up with a welcome trip to Supermacs! The annual Sports day took place over 2 days due to inclement weather - however ,it was a great success and great fun was had - even the staff couldn’t resist getting involved in an egg and spoon race! Finally, the Summer raffle was held on the day of the holidays. A big thanks to Margaret Ahern (Parent) who does great work in organising the much anticipated end of term raffle! The winners were the envy of all on the day. We hope all at Lismire NS enjoy their Summer break and we look forward to seeing you all again in September for a new school year.
