Fyffes Fit Squad
Fyffes Fit Squad visited our school today as part of their hunt to find Ireland’s Fittest School 2024! They provided a workout for Junior & Senior Infants and 1st & 2nd Class. After 30 minutes of exercise each child was given a nutritious banana and Fyffes sports bag. It was a great experience and we hope to welcome the Fyffes Fit Squad back to our school again.

Our Active Committee are encouraging healthy eating in 2024 by asking all classes to participate in the Food Dudes programme. Food Dudes is Ireland's national healthy eating programme for primary schools.It works by positively changing children's attitudes towards eating fresh fruit and vegetables. This is achieved by combining three key elements - repeated tasting, rewards and role modelling - on a recurring 4-year cycle. The Food Dudes programme will run in junior Infants, Senior Infants, First & Second Class from January 12th - February 2nd, and in Third & 4th Class and Fifth & Sixth Class from January 29th - February 2nd.
Happy Christmas from the Pupils & Staff at St. Andrew's NS Curragha!
During Science week two Professors of Genetics visited us from UCD and showed us how materials can react with each other, sometimes with explosive results! We were also visited by an ecologist from the Irish Peatland Conservation Council. She explained to us the importance of Irish bogland and we made a 'Bog in a Bottle' and met some of the creatures found in an Irish bog! We also had a STEM poster competition and took part in a Super Science Quiz in the hall and showed off all we had learned! Click through the gallery to see all the fun we had!

Lá na Cruite/Harp Day 2023
Lá na Cruite or Harp Day 2023 took place on Saturday 21st October. We celebrated our national instrument and emblem in school on Friday 20th of October. We are very lucky to have a harpist in 4th class in school. Róisin brought in her harp and performed for all classes and then local harpist Fiona Gryson came in and played for us! It was a great way to celebrate an iconic symbol of Ireland!
