Our class have been very interested in learning about Damian Browne and how he is the first Irish person to row across the Atlantic solo from New York to Galway. One of our classmates went to see Damian Browne last weekend : Hi, I'm Tom and I went to see Damian Browne when he was in Salthill last Saturday. His boat was outside The Oslo in Salthill and I got a photo of it. Damian was on his own in his boat for 112 days. I heard him give a speech. He is very tall.
12 October 2022We have had a lovely September settling in to 2nd class. Our class is working very hard at learning all of our cursive letters for our handwriting and the boys are producing some lovely pieces of handwriting. We have also learned about hedgehogs and autumn and how some animals hibernate during the autumn and winter. We have gone to mass on Friday with Fr. Diarmuid as we get ready for making our First Holy Communion next April.

Scoil Iósaif Naofa is a vibrant and multicultural community which embraces all creeds, religions and backgrounds while promoting our Catholic ethos.
We promote an appreciation and love of Irish culture and language while also forging a knowledge of and respect for other cultures within our school. Our school motto is “Amor Vincit Omnia” which translates to ‘Love conquers all’. We aspire to holding this motto as part of our daily interactions and teachings.
