Grandparents Day
On Friday the 2nd of February, we celebrated Catholic Schools week in style by inviting our grandparents to our school. We began with a prayer service. This was followed by two songs which were called Ave Maria and Come let us gather before him.Then each class did something to show their Grandparents and our principal,Mrs Slattery's aunt Mary gave us a wonderful demonstration of butter churning. All enjoyed a chat and a cuppa afterwards.
Duharra Visit
On Tuesday the 13th February, we welcomed the Burgess Duharra Camogie Team to our school. They brought all their silverware which included The County Cup, Munster Cup, Sevens Cup and The Minor Cup. We were delighted to see Caoilfhionn Maher and Katie Grace who were past pupils and who we are proud of. We all got chocolates too to celebrate.
Oliver
On Wednesday the 24th of January 4th,5th and 6th went to see the play Oliver the musical in St Marys Convent School in Nenagh .The play was spectacular ! The acting was very good and so was all the singing .Some of their costumes were raggy for the poor people and the rich people had expensive suits and gowns .We enjoyed listening to some of the classic songs but almost everyone's favourite song was "Oom Pah Pah". The play was very good and we also recognised a few familiar faces from the past years in Burgess school.
Snow Day
It was Tuesday the 12th of February.Storm Emma was coming.People had been warned all over the country of the consequences of the storm.There was a rush for bread and supplies.Some people were saying it was like Armageddon! There were constant weather updates on nearly every channel.On the first day of the storm,unfortunately the school was open. but before school we had a snowball fight! it was a lot of fun.We eventually had to go inside and do our Mental Maths! The teachers did a head count of all the students present.There were only 22 people out of the 66 pupils present.We eventually decided to close and let everyone home.When one of the pupil's in fifth class was going home,his car couldn't make it up the school hill! So he had to park it at a neighbours house near them!
We had a most memorable time off school.We built igloos,had snowball fights and we had fun making a snowman too.We were all disappointed when it melted away......
