Well done to Ali, Caoimhe, Cian H and Cian R who represented Anglesboro N.S. on the South Limerick schools football teams. Ali and Caoimhe played in the Larkin Shield competition in Rathkeale.

Cian H and Cian R played in the Sarsfield Cup competition defeating the City in the semi final before losing out once again to a very strong West side in the final.

Well done to our boys who won the South Limerick mini 7's football competition. This is an additional football competition we entered this year to give our boys a chance to play against some of the bigger schools in South Limerick. Our boys emerged from their group after playing Bruree and Kilfinane. We played Ballylanders in the semi final before beating Knocklong in the final. We will now go forward to represent South Limerick in the county series. Well done boys!!!

A very special day in Anglesboro N.S. as we welcomed past pupils Áine, Clodagh and Grainne as well as Galtee Gaels and Ballylanders players Shelly and Caoimhe to Anglesboro as All Ireland champions.

This year we became involved with the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. The senior classes worked closely in groups to come up with business ideas which they presented in a Dragons Den style to local “Dragon” Kevin Lane. After consulting with Kevin, the children decided to invest money in Galtee Gaels/Limerick cups and have been very successful selling almost 200 cups. The children also decided to put the profits towards carrying out work on our school garden and we have been very busy since. Each classroom was given a flowerbed which they planted with cabbage, turnips, carrots, parsley, beetroot, lettuce, cauliflower, onions, sunflowers, etc. The competition between classes has been very interesting!!! We can’t believe how quickly everything is growing. Last week some classes enjoyed a bacon and cabbage dinner using our own potatoes and cabbage. Cian brought us bacon from his family’s farm. This week our 5th and 6th class have been putting the finishing touches to our school garden by painting a mural on the adjacent wall. Thank you to everyone that has supported our Junior Entrepreneur Project and helped to raise money for our school garden.
We are now officially an "Active School". On Tuesday a validator from the Active Schools programme visited us. We were delighted to be awarded our very first Active Schools flag. We launched our Active Schools campaign back in September and have been very busy since with many activities, events and initiatives taking place over the course of the year. A big thank you to our Active Schools committee and Ms Kelly for all their hard work.
4th, 5th and 6th Class worked with the Junior Room recently to help them create some lovely word art portraits. Some nice Word Art portraits we made on our school iPads using compliments given by classmates.
Last night was the 43rd year of our annual sports evening and as always, we had a very enjoyable evening full of activity and fun. This year Galbally, Kilbehenny and Ballylanders took part in our football blitz. The final was a cracking game where we just about got the better of Ballylanders. Well done to all of our boys and girls. Our joint captains Ellie Martin and Paddy English were delighted to accept the cup. A big thank you to James Murphy and John Ryan for doing MC on the night. This service was provided completely free of charge which we greatly appreciated. Thanks to the Liam Lynch pipe band for creating a great atmosphere before the finals. Thank you also to Johnny Cleary for referring the blitz. Finally, thank you to all our parents who helped out in anyway in making our sports evening such a success. Well done to Chloe O’ Keefe who is only in 3rd class and managed to raise a fantastic €250 on the night for the "Make A Wish foundation". Chloe has also been supporting the "Rapunzel foundation". Junior Infants, Senior Infants and 1st Class went to Mary Immaculate College on Friday June 8th to the Just 4 Fun School Tour. Everyone had a great day. |
