Our much beloved caretaker, Joe Murphy, is retiring today (30th of June 2021).
Joe has been at the core of life in Creagh National School for 30 years and he will leave behind him a wealth of wonderful memories and fond feelings. Our astro turf has been renamed Joe Murphy Park in his honour.
Staff, children and community will all miss Joe's cheerful presence in our school and we wish him and his family best wishes for a wonderful retirement.
Joe is not a man who likes a fuss..... but we couldn't help making a little bit of a fuss!
Thank you, Joe!!!

Miss Coen's 4th class are comic creators!

Comic Creations

Designing our own comic books! Ms. Coen’s fourth class have been busy learning about how comic books are made. Once we learned about the steps involved in making a comic book we decided to create our own! First, children worked in groups to write the script for their comic book. Each group then had a lot of drawing to do! To begin, the children did the outlines of the drawings – we learned that this is called pencilling. When each group was happy with their drawings they coloured them in – this process is called inking. We learned that nowadays most comics are made using a computer but we definitely enjoyed making our comics the old fashioned way! Well done, 4th class. Can't wait to read these!!!

It was great practice for Ice-cream Day!!

A huge thanks to the main sponsors of this event, Dolans Centra, Ballinalsoe Circle K, Ballinasloe and the Creagh Parents Association who sponsored the ice-lollies.

On Tuesday the 15th of March, Miss Blade's 4th class went on a field trip to Dubarry, one of our most notable local industries. The company has gained even more iconic status in recent times when the brand was worn on several occasions by Kate Middleton!
The class were met by Mr Michael Walsh (marketing manager and one of the four directors of the company). The children really enjoyed the experience, asking lots of questions. Mr Lohan came along too ...... and even wore his 'Dubes' in honour of the occasion.
