St. Oliver Plunkett School, Malahide

Happy Halloween from all on Grove Road. Enjoy the well earned midterm and all the excitement Halloween brings. Please be safe and follow all the advice we spoke about in school. See you all safe and well on Monday 6th November.

With the Halloween midterm nearly here there has been lots of ghoulish activity around our school the last few days. Today some of the senior classes were making/carving pumpkins. A Jack O Lantern is a carved pumpkin, or turnip, associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween, and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called Will O the Wisp or Jack-O’-lantern.

We had so much fun today carving, cutting and designing. We will let you see our pumpkins tomorrow, lighting and ready for Halloween.

Today our past pupil Sinéad Aherne brought the Brendan Martin cup to our school after the Dublin ladies fantastic win over Mayo in September. We were all dressed in blue and there was great excitement as one of our heroes came to visit. Well done to Sinead, Niamh and Nicole on their amazing achievements.

Due to the storm conditions and Department directive  we are closed again tomorrow. See you all on Wednesday safe and sound for Blue Day and Sinead Ahern visiting our school.

Our school is to remain closed tomorrow as per DES instruction. Stay safe and see you all on Tuesday morning.
