There was a lot of excitement in school today. The rain couldn'teven dampen our spirits as they took part in our Easter Egg Hunt. Happy Easter everyone!

As part of our stay Safe programme we visited Ferbane Firestation. The children really enjoyed the experience and the staff at the firestation were wonderful in how they worked with the boys and girls.

The boys and girls have worked hard together to create a beautiful mosaic. They wanted to fit in as many things that symbolise our local area e.g. St. Cormac's Well, the Silver River, the Wooden Bridge and the bullrushes and bog cotton. Well done boys and girls.

We hope everyone enjoyed the St. Patrick's Day Parade as much as we enjoyed taking part in it. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. The boys and girls really enjoyed the experience.

The boys and girls really enjoyed participating in the Engineering Workshops in Birr Castle today. Well done boys and girls.

The boys and girls were delighted to have participated in the making of their willow dome in their school garden. Thanks to Padraig for haring his talent with the boys and girls.

Well done to all our boys and girls who took part in the VEX Robotics competition. All the classes throughout the school enjoyed getting involved in the Robotics programme.

Pupils from the Senior Class are working really hard on their Vex Robot. The pupils will be taking part in a Robotics Competition against other primary schools. It is a great for the pupils as they learn so many skills, from building their robot, modifying it to do specific tasks, programming and coding their robot and also driving it. 

The boys and girls were so excited to see snow this morning. We just had to put our books aside, put on our wellies and go out and have some fun in the snow. 

The boys and girls are delighted to have Denis our Tag Rugby Coach back traing them.

The boys and girls were very excited to see Santa today. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

The boys and girls were so excited this year to perform our Christmas Show to an audience this year. All pupils took part in performing 'The Christmas Grotto'. The boys and girls were excellent on the night of their performance. It was great to see the confidence in the children and how much they enjoyed performing to an audience. Well done!

On the 16th of December all pupils visited  Birr theatre to see a production called 'Rudolf Saves Christmas'. All pupils had an enjoyable day. 

We had our last dance lesson with Lisa today. All children really enjoyed taking part every week. They will definitely have some great moves to go with all the Christmas songs over the holidays.

Today while the boys and girls were playing outside they found a poor hedgehog caught up in our football net. We carefully cut the net to free the hedgehog.  The children garthered leaves and grass and we made a comfortable bed in a big box where the hedgehog could rest until we set him free in a local field. The boys and girls were delighted to see a hedgehog up so close.

Well done to Billy and Conor for winning our 'Active Art Competition'.

We had a great day today. Many thanks to Alan Feighery for giving the boys and girls of Broughall NS the opportunity of picking out their own pumpkins from his pumpkin patch. They are all looking forward to carving them out tomorrow.

On the 6th of October all pupils attended ‘Astronaut Academy’ in Birr Library. We attended the workshop as part of Space Week. The boys and girls worked in teams to make their own rocket. They also created their own Solar System and they carried out an experiment to show why it is so important for an Astronaut to wear a space helmet and suit. Thanks to the Board of Management for covering the cost of this trip.

We had an exciting day in Broughall NS today. We were delighted to have Donna, Tara, Stuart and Tony visit our school with their Hot Air Balloon. The children were very excited. They got the opportunity to ask the team lots of questions. They also got to see first hand how a Hot Air Balloon works. 

Over the past couple of weeks the children of Broughall NS have taken part in a nature fieldwork study. They learned so much from engaging with the local environment. Well done boys and girls.

Great to see the boys and girls enjoying Athletics Coaching so much. Thanks To Emmet for coming out each week to coach the children.  

We had a great day out in Knockbarron today. Dale Treadwell our Heritage Expert brought us on a nature walk through the woods. We then returned to school to have a look at his dinosaur friends. The boys and girls were amazed looking at the different fossils and bones he had to show them. We finished up the day by making a home for solitary bees and some team building exercises. It was a great day enjoyed by all.
