Shelby the corn snake came to visit our school on Friday the 19^th of November 2021.

He is owned by past pupil Kacie Joyce who was with us for the week on Transition Year Experience.

He is a male and is 5 years old.

He is fed every Sunday with a mouse or a small rat.

He sheds his scale every three months.

When he is about to shed, his eyes turn a cloudy grey.

Once he has shed, his eyes revert back to the colour black and his new scale is shiny.

The children and staff enjoyed Shelby (& Kacie) coming to see us and the children got to ask lots of questions during his visit.

Well done to all the students who made a fantastic effort with their costumes this year! Thanks to Mary for helping bake the Halloween treats. All children participated in an outdoor Maths Trail too, using their Maths Eyes and great counting and maths observation skills!

Students have been busy working as artists this term and have been really creative! Well done.

Students have been enjoying hurling sessions with our coach Michael. Everyone’s skills have been progressing steadily and they have been having great fun.

3 and 4th class were reading and writing procedures in English.

They then followed the instructions on the recipe and made Apple and Cinnnamon Muffins for everyone. We all enjoyed a delicious treat!

This week we were lucky to have a farmer, John, visit our school. The Junior room children were learning about the farm for their Aistear theme. Senior Room students were learning about the relationship between maths and farming and how maths can be useful on the farm. Thanks to John for the very informative session and for the treats he brought all the students. The students asked some very interesting questions and learned lots.

Congratulations to our First Holy Communion Class of 2021.

To Fr. Kevin Reynolds, to the Parents and Families and to the Staff of Threen National School.

All the students had a tennis taster! They learned some new skills and really loved the game! Hopefully the will enjoy playing tennis over the summer holidays.

Well done to all the students in the school who have worked so hard this year! Every student was presented with a certificate for a specific personal achievement. In addition, awards were presented for academic achievement, improvement in English and Maths and overall Spirit of the school.
