Students from the senior room have been very busy using technology to look up information about all the countries involved in the Rugby World Cup. They have been researching information about the rugby teams involved/ climate/ national anthem/ population/ size/ interesting facts about each country etc
Wishing everyone in our school community a happy and successful year in Threen N.S. We hope everyone will have a wonderful year with lots of new learning experiences and plenty of fun along the way.
Eanna Ni Lamhna visited our school today to look at our school garden and examine our efforts for the County Pollinator Awards. Our students welcomed her, listened to her explaining about pollination and gave her a tour of the school garden,explaining all the different aspects of the garden and meadow area, and telling her about things we do to encourage bees to our garden.
We had the opportunity to go for a walk in an emerging native woodland close to our school. The students loved running around in the forest and learning about the native trees which are growing there. Our lovely guide, Niamh, was very helpful and provided us with lots of interesting information. The forest walk was a lovely addition to our our Active Week activities.

We’ve been very busy during active week- running laps of our school and pitch, taking part in a RINKA session, playing co-operative games, hurling coaching and a match. So far, we’ve really enjoyed ourselves!
Children had great fun and learned lots about the design process, the building of and workings of windmills at today’s Bricks4Kidz STEM session. They were thrilled with their completed pieces and shared their ideas and learning with others. Great fun was had by all involved!
Students got the opportunity to learn about the work of an archaeologist and examine some wonderful artifacts. They participated in an archaeological dig, did some investigation and recorded their evidence. Everyone enjoyed the experience and learned a lot from the session.
We all had great fun with the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Themed baking! Thanks to Mary for helping out with the organisation of the day’s events! Hope everyone enjoys a well deserved break over the holidays.
Our senior girls played 3 matches in a football blitz which took place in Eire Og GAA club, Loughglynn on 3rd April 2019. They played against teams from Granlahan NS, Cloonbonniffe NS and Loughlynn NS. They played really well in very difficult cold, wet and windy weather conditions. They put in a huge effort even when they were cold and wet. Well done to all involved and thanks to the parents who came to support the girls.
We were lucky to receive 8 saplings from the Tree Council as part of National Tree Week. We will plant these trees this week and look forward to watching them grow over the coming years.
