This week we are celebrating Active Schools Week 2023 at Tarmon N.S!
Yesterday each class had lots of fun playing soccer on our astro turf with Coach Kyle from FAI Schools.
Senior classes (3rd to 6th) visited O’Rourke Park to participate in a Gaelic Blitz with many other schools in the Castlerea area. Thank you to Bryan and Oran from Roscommon GAA for organising the fantastic event!

Today we held an in-school Gaelic Blitz with children from 3rd to 6th.
The final was an almighty tussle and resulted in extra time as the teams couldn’t be separated in normal time. Well done to the Roscommon team that emerged victorious after beating Leitrim! Many thanks again to coaches Bryan and Oran from
Roscommon GAA.
Meanwhile today our AstroTurf was a hive of activity as Peter and Ollie from Roscommon GAA took children from various classes for games and skills workshops which brought lots of smiles all round!

Sixth Class pupils recently completed their final workshop with Kate Oram Designer Maker as part of the 2023 Arts in Education BLAST Residency Initiative.

The finished clay piece is proudly displayed in our school garden. The clay has been fired and should remain in it's set form for thousands of years in Tarmon National School as a reminder of Sixth Class 2022/2023.

Second Class children planted a sunflower patch in our school garden today. We are so looking forward to watching these bloom and grow over the coming weeks! 🌻🌻🌻

All classes were treated to a relaxing sound bath today with Lisa from Cúlú Yoga & Wellness Centre as part of Wellbeing Week. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed their workshop after school too!

Fifth Class visited local enterprise Harmac Ltd. today. They learned about the various medical devices produced there and saw how the 3 D printer worked. Each child was kindly gifted a printed name plate which was printed on site.
Many thanks to Gary, James and Conor for an excellent presentation and site tour.
Harmac also treated the children to a delicious ice cream to end the trip which brough smiles all round!🍦😊☀️ Harmac Medical Products

This week we are celebrating Wellbeing Week which started with jiving lessons today in the gym. 💃🕺 All classes participated and really enjoyed their dancing session! Many thanks to our excellent instructors Aoife and Katelyn.

School tour season has begun!
The children from the Moonbeam Room caught the train to Westport and enjoyed a fun-filled day at Pirate Adventure Park and Westport House.
Meanwhile the Sunshine Room and Butterfly Room went on a joint trip to the library and playground in Castlerea! ☀️🛝🚂🏴‍☠️☀️

Sixth Class had their second workshop from the Cycle Right Project today. This is a very beneficial initiative which promotes cycling and safety on our roads.
Thanks to Dave, Darragh, Ross and Carmel from Roscommon Sports Partnership for their time.
