St Mary’s Senior Choir (which includes 3rd,4th,5th and 6th) had a brilliant time performing at the Corfhéile on Tuesday the 3rd of March. Everyone enjoyed the other schools’ songs but we especially enjoyed performing ours in Corfhéile for the large audience.There were many performances that we watched open-mouthed while listening to their amazing music. We all LOVED the special guest all the way from New York, Brian who was a percussionist.

The Corfhéile was set in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght.

‘I really enjoyed the experience of watching other people talk and sing and share their love of music’ said Ella in 4th.
‘I enjoyed listening to the orchestra and I had a fun day!’ said Gary also in 4th.
St May’s Senior Choir can’t wait for next year to perform again at Corfhéile!

St. Mary's Chess Team

3/3/2020

On the 28th of February, Amir Aizuri, Diana Bueckert, Helen Bueckert, Lucy Bueckert, Daniel Cahill, Vincent Houlihan, Jack McKenna and Sophie McKenna attended a team chess tournament called “The Leinster Schools Chess Association Primary School Championships”, which was organised by April Cronin. Many other schools from Leinster took part in the tournament, with almost 100 pupils there.

In this chess tournament we used chess clocks, which are timers that count down the time that each player has to complete their game. We had 20 minutes each on the clock, making some games almost 40 minutes long!

After playing five exciting games each, we finished fourth overall, missing a top three spot by just two points. Prizes were also given to star players, who are the top scorers on each chess team. This time it was Diana Bueckert with 5 out of 6 points.

Having successfully played this chess tournament, Saint Marys is now in the top 10 schools in Leinster for chess!

A special thank you to Ms. Purcell who came along to motivate us and to see us in action.

Grandparents Day

4/2/2020

On Friday, to conclude Catholic Schools Week we held a prayer service to celebrate some of the most amazing people in our lives, our grandparents. Children from 2nd to 6th class had the chance to honour their incredible grandparents through music, stories and poetry.

This is without doubt a highlight of the school year and we are delighted that so many wonderful grandparents had the chance to join us on the day.
