The boys and girls had great fun during Maths Week this year. Each class enjoyed some online activities, brainteasers, maths trails, indoor & outdoor maths games, Caim NS Bingo and getting extra time with our hands-on maths resources. Well done to 5th class who organised our outdoor games and 6th class who took on our indoor games, all the children had great fun. Well done to all our winners for our Art and Estimation Competitions!
Happy Hallowe’en from the infant classroom🎃👻🧙 We had a really lovely week! Enjoy the break everyone.
Congratulations to the girls Rackard League team who won the ‘A’ final in a wet Bellefield on Thursday evening 24th October. The girls from Caim NS played a crucial part in the victory and were fully deserving of the win. Well done girls!
Best of luck to the Girls who are representing Caim NS in the Roinn A Rackard League Football Final. The match will take place in Bellefield at 5pm on Thursday 24th of October. Come on girls!!!!
4th and 5th class had a busy September this year with Mr Kavanagh. They have been working on their Stay Safe while also reading the novel Running Wild by Michael Morpurgo. As Gaeilge bhí siad ag foghlaim faoi Mé Féin and in their maths work they covered time! They were also busy with Mini 7s and Rackard league while covering the Games Strand in their PE. They have been learning about the counties of Ireland and also the history of St. Brendan. In music the class have started the tin-whistle this year and we look forward to more performances at assembly. Well done 4th and 5th!
A big THANK YOU to the Baile Dubh Tire Ladies who visited our school this morning! The ladies won the Stafford’s Bakeries ladies’ football Intermediate championship title for the first time in their short history in McCauley Park, Bellefield recently, defeating Kilmore. The team even featured 3 of our recent past pupils! We were delighted to welcome them to Caim NS and for them to show us both their district and county final cups! Well done!

Another lovely week in our classroom! Maths Week ✅ Thanks to Ms. Murphy for organising a fun filled week! And thanks to Mr. Fitzpatrick’s and Mr. Kavanagh’s class for the fun maths stations they organised!
Congratulations to our 3 students who formed part of the Caim/Kitealy/Ballindaggin team who won the recent District Final against Marshalstown. The boys won by a commanding 25 points on the day. Well done!
Caim NS have registered as part of Maths Week 2024. The boys and girls are looking forward to Indoor and Outdoor Maths Games, Maths Trails, Estimation and Art Competitions and MONSTER BINGO this week.
As part of maths week children are invited, if they wish, to enter our Maths Art Competition. Juniors-2nd are asked to create an art piece based on 2D or 3D shapes. In 3rd – 6th the theme is “Symmetry”. Entries to be brought into school by Friday 18th October.
Instead of maths written homework each child has a worksheet of maths activities to complete at home.
We hope to heighten children’s awareness of maths in daily life. It would be helpful if some parents could email class teachers briefly outlining how they use maths at home or in their work. This can then be shared and discussed in class!
Well done to our girls and boys Mini 7s Teams who competed recently in Gaelic Football. The girls unfortunately lost to Courtnacuddy but were successful in their game against Donard. The boys team also won and lost one of their group games but progressed to the next round on points difference. Well done boys and girls and best of luck to the boys in the next round!
