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.

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!

Once again, St. Mary’s students wowed as Gaeilge by performing songs and poems for Seachtain na Gaeilge 2024. Every child in the school took part in what, as you can see below, was a fantastic celebration of all things Irish sa Ghaeilge.
On Wednesday 21st June, it was time for our 6th Class of 2023 to say goodbye to St. Mary’s as they graduated from 6th Class and primary school. The DEN, 4th and 5th classes gathered in the hall to mark the occasion. Ms Jordan reminisced about events throughout this groups’ years in St. Mary’s from near escapes in Junior Infants to our 6th Class school tour only a week before. She echoed how everyone in St. Mary’s is proud of their achievements and progress during their time here.
The Class of 2023 were then called out individually and presented with certificates and framed graduation mementos. Afterwards, they sang their graduation songs of ‘Believer’ and ‘Whatever it Takes’, before throwing their mortar hats to the ceilings in celebration.
They gathered their belongings and made their way through a whole school guard of honour, exiting the gates as St. Mary’s pupils for the last time.
We wish every single member of the 6th Class of 2023 the very best in their futures and invite them back at any time to let us know how they are doing.
