With Wellbeing as our primary focus this year, we have been creating Friendship Hubs and Wellbeing Spaces inside the school building and on the school grounds. We are also in the process of creating a 'Forest Cave', Fairy Garden, outdoor planting area and a new hedgerow. The polytunnel is now timetabled for use by classes and plans are in place to create additional friendship spaces around the school. A huge thanks to our caretaker Eddie Brady, Ms. Laura Gallagher and Mrs. Caroline Gallagher who have been putting in such tremendous efforts over the past while in creating such a wonderful selection of restful/creative spaces inside and outside the school. All of these measures and initiatives have the potential to really enhance wellbeing for all members of our school community and are only possible because of the generosity, creativity and hard work of those members of staff who have committed to these projects so willingly. A most sincere thank you to all concerned. Many thanks also to parents and teachers whose fundraising efforts have enabled us to do these things. 
​These are just some photos from indoor shared areas.  Stay tuned for more updates and images from classrooms, the polytunnel and outdoor spaces! 

​Bhain na daltaí i Scoil Muire gan Smál an-taitneamh as na heachtraí a bhí eagraithe don Seachtain na Gaeilge 2022. Bhí spórt agus spraoi acu go léir go háirithe nuair a bhí siad ag lorg na leideanna don Toraíocht Taisce. Bhí a lán gníomhaíochtaí le déanamh ag na paistí – tráth na gCeist, comórtas ealaíne, céilí, cluichí agus bhí seans acu leabhair a léamh as Gaeilge sna ranganna. Ghléas na páistí suas ar an gCéadaoin. Bhí duaiseanna beaga ann do na páistí a ghlac páirt sna comórtaisí éagsúla agus do na daltaí a bhí ag usáid cúpla focal i rith na seachtaine!  
Míle buíochas to Ms. O' Rourke who organised and facilitated all the fun activities 'as gaeilge' over the week and also to Ms Lohan who was resonsible for our inaugural Danceathon! Hopefully the first of many. 

Creagh N.S. has a long and proud tradition of taking part in the Ballinasloe St Patrick's Day Parade. We were delighted to be able to enter a group this year with the theme of celebration. Our entry focused on the celebration of sport, culture, community and the environment. A huge thanks to those parents and children who represented our school so enthusiastically on the day. Major thanks also to Eddie Brady, Ms O' Rourke, Ms Lohan, Mrs McCann, Ms. Blade, Ms Coen and Mrs Gallagher who took time out of their bank holiday weekend to help organise the parade entry and walk with us on the day. Thanks also to those members of the planning committee (Ms Conway, Mr Ronaldson, Ms Power) who did lots of work in advance of the day.
We have won 1st place in the education category so well done everyone!! It was a terrific team effort and a real pleasure to be a part of! 

There were lots of amazing engineering based science activities happening throughout the school last week. From wind powered vehicles to marshmallow towers, pupils got lots of opportunities to apply their science knowledge to a wide range of hand-on challenges. Many thanks to Mr Ronaldson, our SESE facilitator, for sharing resources and orgainising timetables during the week. Many thanks also to all staff for participating so enthusiastically with their pupils during the week. There were lots of engineering based homework activities taking place during the week so many parents  got involved too! 

There was a fantastic reception for local heores from the victorious Padraic Pearses club in Creagh National School today.
Children and staff supporters of the club donned the red and white and cheers and chants echoed in our Astro-Turf area as we celebrated an historic year for this hard working Roscommon club.
We would like to thank the team for visiting us today. Thanks also to Ms Nicole Conway for acting as MC on the day, Eddie Brady for all the great work in festooning the school in preparation, Ms Blade for organising the banners and flags and all the staff who helped out with the logistics. Hopefully, we will be welcoming the team back again next year with even more trophies!! 

Children of all ages.... and just a few adults too, really got into the spirit of World Book Day today.
There were wizards and witches, super heroes and villains, fairy tale characters and animals of all types to be seen throughout the school. Even Captain Underpants, a rather scary bandit and a really mischievous chicken managed to sneak their way into school today!! And if you search really carefully, you might just be able to spot Wally! 
A huge thanks to our pupils and parents for embracing this fun activity. Huge thanks also to all our staff who made great efforts to make the day a celebration of books and reading!!
