Rearcross National School

Congratulations to all the pupils from 5th and 6th classes who were confirmed on Tuesday 19th May 2015 in St. Patrick’s Church, Kilcommon. They put a tremendous amount of time and effort preparing for this special sacrament and they were fantastic on the day. A big thank you to Ms. Corcoran and all those involed in the choir which helped to make this year’s Confirmation day such a success.

Congratulations to Brian Nolan and Gearóid Corrigan who qualified for the 2015 All-Ireland MATHletes Challenge Championship Finals which took place on Saturday, May 2nd at Dublin City University. Both pupils first of all had a very difficult job making the provincial finals where over 12,000 MATHletes were narrowed down to 680 for the provincial playoffs. Brian Nolan was crowned the 5th class Munster provincial champion and both boys qualified for the All-Ireland finals in Dublin. Despite their best efforts, they didn’t finish in the top three places. We are extremely proud of their efforts and look forward to taking on the MATHletes Challenge again in 2016!

Today all the pupils from Rearcross National School took part in a science display in the school and presented their work to other classes. Pupils investigated, experimented, estimated, measured, analysed and evaluated across a wide variety of activates ranging from static electricity to sorting materials! A special word of thanks to Ms. Daly for organised this project.

We’ve been busy in the garden planting carrots, potatoes and parsley. We planted turnip and lettuce seeds in pots for planting out later.
