Hello & Welcome to our blog!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
For the past few months 6th class have been working on a project called the Junior Entrepreneur Programme and for this programme they have decided to make their own Slime and Stress Balls. Tomorrow, 23rd March they will be selling the Slime/Stress Balls in the hall at home time. The Slime will be sold for €3 and the Stress Balls will be sold for €1.50. Please if your child would like to buy Slime or a Stress Ball, please bring in the money needed. Thank you for your support. Bhí an-chraic againn ag an seó Dé Aoine. Bhí na ranganna ar fheabhas. Féach ar na bpictiúir anseo.
Rinneamar an t-amhrán 'Amhrán na gCupán'. Bhaineamar taitneamh as Tráth na gCeist freisin. Bhíeamar ag foghlaim faoi Naomh Pádraig and Lá Fhéile Pádraig! This week is scoot to school week. National SOW Day (Scoot on Wednesdays) will be held on Wednesday 14th March. By participating in National Scoot to School Week / SOW Day you will be showing your support for a greener, healthier environment.
Please scoot to school this Wednesday and we may be in with a chance to win scooter parking for our school. A chairde! Parents, Guardians and friends!
This week we will be celebrating Irish language and culture as part of Seachtain na Gaeilge. We will be busy learning Irish songs and dances, playing games through Irish, reading and writing stories, listening to Irish music and promoting the Irish language throughout the school. We would like to invite you to join in the fun next Friday 16th March.
We would be delighted if anyone would like to contribute baked goods for our Irish Breakfast morning. Some ideas of Irish foods include:
Our emergency closure due to the weather is a great opportunity to make good progress with your project. Seeing as we're all such great scientists in PETNS we are going to be running our annual science fair again this year! The date of science fair is Friday the 9th of March and all finished projects are to be brought in on Thursday the 8th at the latest! It's a great chance to show off your budding science skills and to showcase your knowledge! Parents are invited and encouraged to help children in their work!

As part of P.E.T.N.S Friendship Month, the Student Council have decided to celebrate friendship and bravery by selling friendship bracelets. During the month of February, the Student Council will make visits to classrooms to sell the bracelets. The bracelets cost €2 and all money raised will go to Amnesty International to assist their work in fighting for justice and equality in the world.
