 We are very proud to have had five of our pupils represent Bushypark NS in the All Ireland Chess finals in Limerick recently. The team members were John Fearnhead, Tom Kelly, Iannis Praxmarer, George Fearnhead and the sub was Oliver Kelly. The team did really well and came joint 5th! Well done guys!!  We are very proud to have two members of the winning Knocknacarra Under 13 Soccer team in our school!
The Captain Stephen Curran (5th Class) and Vice Captain Callum Neill (6th Class) proudly brought their cup to school today. The boys' team won the Under 13 Galway Soccer League on Monday. The team made it through the whole season unbeaten and scored the maximum points!! Well done guys!  As part of our Active School Week, we were delighted to have a visit today from three great hurlers! Eamon Brannigan, Daragh Sweeney and Andrew Dunne are part of the Rahoon Hurling Club and past pupils of Bushypark NS, who recently won the Under 21 County Championship. They brought their cup to the school and proudly showed it to some of our classes!
We have been very busy in Ms McAllister's 3rd class - making our own flip flops for summer!29/5/2013 Junior Infants have been using their green fingers! We discovered that with soil, air, water & sunlight our cress seeds grew tall. Great investigating everyone! Maith sibh! Ms Lane's second class followed a procedure for making crackle cakes. They were delicious!!24/5/2013 We decided to take the parachute outside today for P.E. We had lots of fun. We made crazy waves, ran under the parachute, made a mushroom with the parachute, made a tent with the parachute and played a new version of cat and mouse with the parachute. Here are some pictures of us with the parachute: Mrs. Regan's senior infants class painted some really nice spring pictures. We painted backgrounds and then stuck on some pictures. We had great fun. Mrs. Regan's senior infants class all made clocks with hands that can move. We drew our own designs on them. We think they are cool. Mrs. Regan's senior class read the story of the gingerbread man. Afterwards, they made gingerbread men. They rolled out the dough, baked them and then decorated them
Every year our 6th classes decide to donate some of the money they recieve from the Confirmation to a worthwhile cause. This year's chosen charity was Down Syndrome Ireland and specifically to a group called Little Owls. Little Owls is a play group for young children organised by Down Syndrome Ireland, where parents can avail of support. Helena Moran visited our school with her beautiful daughter Aisling to collect the cheque. We are very proud of our two 6th classes as they raised €605 between them. 
In Mr. Finlay's 6th class we have been writing odes. Odes are poems which praise or worship a person or thing. Why not have a listen to some of them here. First up is Eoin K with his Ode to Technology Next is Emma L with her Ode to Music Then we have Eoin F with his Ode to the Sportsground, the home of Connacht Rugby Finally, Shane F reads out his Ode to Gum, which is of course banned in our school.
