What a spooky morning at Glencorrib N.S!

I think you’ll agree that a fantastic effort was made by all of our pupils for our Halloween party today.

On Saturday, the boys and girls in third class celebrated their First Holy Communion!

Congratulations to Sophie, Ciara, Laoise, Michael and Tomás. It was a great day and was definitely worth the wait!

Well done to all involved.

Well done to Tomás and Harry who represented our school in the South Mayo Cross Country Competition yesterday in Ballinrobe.

We are very proud of both boys who ran so brilliantly in their respective categories.

Tomás will now go on to compete in the county final in October after finishing 5th in his race. An amazing achievement!

We are celebrating a very exciting day in Glencorrib N.S. today ahead of the All Ireland Football Final between Mayo and Tyrone tomorrow.

All of our wonderful pupils arrived to school in a sea of green and red this morning for ‘Mayo Day’!

All of our staff and pupils would like to wish the Mayo team and management the very best of luck for tomorrow! We are keeping all of our fingers and toes crossed for you here in Glencorrib!

Up Mayo!!

Our senior room replanted our window boxes today with some beautiful dianthuses, violas and pansies!

Hopefully this dry weather will continue and we will be busy watering them for many weeks to come!

Today was such an exciting and special day in Glencorrib N.S as it was our first day back to school.

It was fantastic to see all our lovely pupils return this morning with such big smiles on their faces!

This year we are delighted to welcome our new Junior Infants – Aoibhinn, Charlotte, Dara, Ellie, Esmé, Leon, Niamh, Odhrán and Sarah. We wish them all a happy and successful journey with us here in Glencorrib and we look forward to lots of fun times ahead with them all.

As always, the excitement on our last day of school was tinged with sadness, as we bid farewell to our wonderful 6th class pupils, Jonathan, Kevin, Angie, Ethan and Liam.

We will miss them all but wish them continued success and happiness as they graduate from national school and move into a new and exciting chapter of their lives in secondary school.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all of our pupils and families a very happy, healthy and safe summer holidays. We look forward to welcoming you all back to Glencorrib NS in September.

Monday was a very exciting day in school as we held our annual ‘Sports Day’.

In the morning, we had great fun competing in lots of fun races including egg and spoon, three legged race and the sack race.

In the afternoon, our teachers set up different activities for us including a ‘Throw the Welly’ and a ‘Picking Potatoes’ competition.

We all had a great, fun-filled day!

Congratulations to our wonderful 2nd Class pupils on making their First Confessions today.

They did a fantastic job! Well done boys and girls!

We look forward to celebrating the First Communion on Sat 9th October at 12pm.

Our Junior Room created some beautiful ‘Sea Life’ dioramas last week using old recycled boxes.

Everyone really enjoyed this art activity and we are all so proud of their wonderful creations!
