Straffan National School Blog

  Hola!  We are delighted to report that our 10 weeks of Spanish have been a huge success for our 5th and 6th class pupils. Our Spanish teacher Maria was in every Thursday with exciting and interactive lessons as part of our Modern Foreign Languages initiative. The children seemed to enjoy this experience and have gained so much knowledge both linguistically and culturally.  Thanks a million to Maria for all her hard work and enthusiasm.

Senior G.A.A.  Both our girls and boys senior teams were competing in Cumann na mBunscoil gaelic football since Easter. Both teams played three tight matches which ended today. The girls were very unfortunate to lose by 2 points in their last match against Scoil Choca Naofa while the boys lost by 2 after extra time. This double header will surely be core memories for the 6th class pupils involved. It is so great to see them giving their all in the Straffan NS jersey and we strongly encourage them to continue representing their future schools as well. Such great talent amongst the group.
