Energy Workshop; We were very lucky to have Shonagh Grey in the school in January to give a presentation on energy saving and looking after our environment to 2nd and 3rd class.


Playground leaders;Loreto National School began a new initiative as we work to achieve our first Active School flag. Volunteers from 2nd-6th class gave up some of their time at lunch break to help our Junior and Senior Infants play some games and stay active! It was a huge success and thanks to our volunteers.


Reading Buddies;Reading buddies began in January for 4th and 1st class. Our 4th class pupils were trained up and visited 1st class once a week to model reading and help them with some tricky words. It was very enjoyable for the two classes and thanks to 4th class for all their work and preparation.


Grandparent’s Day;As always, Loreto National School celebrated Grandparent’s day at the end of January. We had a huge turnout in the school hall where Fr. Kieran celebrated mass with some lovely music performed by the children led by Mr. Looney. Grandparents were presented with some lovely St. Bridgit Crosses made by our pupils. Some lovely refreshments were served afterwards and our Grandparents visited the classrooms. It was and always is such a special day. Thank you to all the Grandparents for making it so rewarding.


Credit Union Quiz;We had four amazing teams representing Loreto National School in the Credit Union quiz. After a very tense and close battle, two of our teams made it through to a five way tie. Well done to all involved for putting in so much work.


Open day;Loreto National School held an open day on Saturday, February 29th. It was a great success with many commenting on the wonderful atmosphere that is present in our school. Some boys and girls from all classes took part in various activities in their classrooms and in the P.E hall. We had a huge turnout with many new students having a look around our wonderful facilities. Thanks to our Parent’s Association for helping out on the day.


BeeBots & Lego WeDo


All our classes received great experience in some programming and designing. Our 4th and 5th Class pupils, led by Ms. Cahill loaned some BeeBot kits and Lego We Do kits from Tralee Education Centre. 4TH and 5th class then went around to all other classes and taught them some areas of designing and programming. Well done to all involved.

Service of Light;Our Service of light took place in the school on Tuesday, March 9th. It was a lovely service led by Fr. Kieran. Huge thanks to all our 6th class pupils and their teacher Mr. Looney.
