Pancake Tuesday

16 Feb 2021

Class 3.3 finished the half-term by making pancakes with Ms. Beirne while 3.2 also made pancakes with Ms. Creegan.
The students learned about Lent and the traditions associated with Shrove Tuesday and then they had tea and pancakes and a chat! It is a great example of how the teachers and students of Carrick-on-Shannon Community School have adapted to remote and blended learning.
We only have some samples of the pancakes here but hopefully it will encourage everyone to have a go at making pancakes this evening!

Transition Year Debating Success

12 Feb 2021

Our Transition Year Irish Debating Team, Nicole Gallagher, Paddy O’Hora and Mark McMahon submitted excellent entries to the Diospóireachtaí Gael Linn debating competition at the end of November. The competition is in a different format this year due to Covid 19 restrictions.

The students worked very hard in preparing their speeches and their wonderful talent, dedication, and commitment to excellence was evident in their final recordings.

Well done to all three students and congratulations to Nicole and Paddy who will compete in the next round of the competition. Our students have had great success in this competition in recent years and we wish Nicole and Paddy the very best in their preparation for the next round. 

 

Ghlac scoláirí na hIdirbhliana, Nicole Gallagher, Paddy O’Hora agus Mark McMahon páirt sa Chomórtas Diospóireachta an Phiarsaigh, eagraithe ag Gael Linn ag deireadh mhí na Samhna. Bhí caighdeán a gcuid óráidí sár-mhaith agus rinne an triúr acu a seacht ndícheall. Comhghairdeas libh! Rachaidh Nicole agus Paddy ar aghaidh go dtí an chéad bhabhta eile. Guímis gach rath orthu.
