Marty takes his first steps

Marty the robot was coded to take his first steps today.

In a world where imagination and technology collide, children at CETNS take the reins of innovation by coding their very own robots. Guided by curiosity, they learn the fundamentals of programming while engaging with hands-on challenges.

Artificial Grass

We are pleased to have utilised some of the previously unused space around the school. The installation of artificial grass has created a versatile area for both curricular activities and additional play space for children during breaks.The children love getting time outdoors to enjoy this new space.

MEP Visit

We were delighted to host a visit from Maria Walsh MEP, Minister Hildegarde Naughton

and Councillor David Collins. It was a very interesting talk and children had the

opportunity to ask questions and learn about life as an MEP, Minister and local Councillor.

Beyond The Classroom

What a great start to our Beyond The Classroom week in 1st Class. In the morning, they had fun games & soccer on the Astro pitch, followed by more exciting games using tags, the parachute and tug-of-war in the hall. After lunch, the children explored rope swinging & balancing, mud painting and tree climbing at a forest school set up nearby. Finally, the students heard all about the world of SCUBA diving. Thanks to all our lovely parents for facilitating these activities.

Outdoor Education

1st Class really enjoyed their introduction to Outdoor Learning with Siobhán Sloane (Heritage in Schools Specialist). They went on a nature walk to the Community Centre and participated in a detailed scavenger hunt which included things that might NOT BE SEEN and things that can only be HEARD. They played games, did some mock fire building and stick art.

Road Safety Awareness with Karen from the RSA

This week, Claregalway Educate Together National School was thrilled to host Karen from the Road Safety Authority (RSA). Over two busy days, Karen shared her road safety wisdom with our eager students, blending vital lessons with interactive fun.

Her visit has not only educated but inspired our school community to prioritise safety in our daily lives.
