Chess4Schools
Shrone NS were delighted to be one of the 140 schools across Munster that participated in Chess4Schools live this morning.
Our thanks to Múinteoir Oisin for a very informative session.







Boxfit
Maura began her Boxfit programme with the pupils on Thursday.
Boxfit…. What is it?
It is a choreographed exercise-to -music programme. Simple boxing style movements are taught.
It’s a non contact, high energy,fun way of helping children to stay active whilst at the same time pupils’ co ordination and confidence is improving.











Nature Camps
On Wednesday, we were delighted to welcome Siobhán and Tara from “Nature Camps and Field Studies Kerry” to Shrone N.S.
Needless to say, they didn’t arrive empty handed.
They brought with them an array of stuffed animals.
They provided a very informative and educational workshop for the pupils.
Pupils really enjoyed seeing the animals up close as it is not often that we meet face to face with some of these birds and animals.

An t-Earrach
An t-Earrach atá ann.
Tá bláthanna ag fás sa ghairdín.
Feicim uan ag damhsa sa pháirc.
Feicim bogha báistí sa spéir.
Is maith liom an
t-Earrach.

An t-Earrach (Spring)🌈🌦️🐑
The sun is shining, the crocus and the daffodils are in full bloom, sticky buds are beginning to appear on the branches and some animals are beginning to wake up after their long Winter sleep.
Spring has sprung in Shrone N.S.
The school environs are full of growth and new life.
What a wonderful time of the year🐑🌈🌦️




Creative February
Pupils in Shrone NS Rathmore have been very busy during the month of February. Pupils in the junior room connected with nature when they went for a nature walk. They studied the daffodils that are growing on the school grounds.
All the pupils in the school enjoyed the webinar with artist Orla Bates. As a result of this webinar pupils created some beautiful pieces of art work for creative February. Pupils in Shrone were very creative during February 2026.
