3rd class learned all about Ancient Egypt this month. We researched lots of interesting facts about Ancient Egypt and made some wonderful projects which were presented so well in class.
To finish off the topic we made Egyptian pyramids in groups from spaghetti and marshmallows. We had great fun making them and we are very proud of our finished pyramids.

Admission-notice-2025.26The boys and girls from First Classes Room 7 and Room 8A visited Viriginia Town Library to attend a wonderful talk from author Shane Hegarty. They listened to the author read his wonderful book ‘Dexter Lost His Boo-Woo’ and then together created their own monster character! The boys and girls got a chance to ask the author lots of interesting questions about writing, coming up with ideas and how to write a book. We have many aspired authors after this fantastic day out!
Well done to the boys and girls who represented St. Mary’s N.S in the annual Cavan Primary Schools Athletics across Country Championships.
All the boys and girls had trained hard for the event. A big well done to all the boys and girls for their great effort.
A great day for St. Mary’s N.S. with the Junior Boys, Intermediate Boys and Senior Boys teams coming home with 2nd place medals.
Amazing individual performances from Tadgh Finn (Junior Boys/600m) in 12th place, Oisín Mc Manus (Intermediate Boys/800m) in 6th place, and Dylan O’Reilly (Senior Boys/1000m) in 1st place.
It was a fantastic day out for all, with everyone trying their best having fun and making memories. Well done everyone!
During our second week back at school, Mr. McCabe’s 2nd Class in Room 10 enjoyed a PE lesson with a difference – Archery!
We used indoor Archery Sets and took turns aiming for the Bullseye – which is the centre of the target! If we were happy with our shot, we took a step back to make it harder.
It was a great fun start to the new school year!
