3rd Class

Welcome to 3rd Class – an exciting new stage in your child’s primary school journey!

Moving into the senior end of the school, pupils in 3rd Class take on new challenges and responsibilities as they continue to grow in confidence and independence. It’s a year full of discovery, creativity, and personal development.

In 3rd Class, children build on their skills in English, Gaeilge, and Maths, while also exploring a broad and engaging curriculum that includes SESE (History, Geography, and Science), SPHE, PE, Music, and the Visual Arts. Project work, group activities, and hands-on learning are an important part of the classroom experience, helping pupils to think critically, work together, and express their ideas.

This year also brings exciting opportunities to develop digital literacy, participate in school initiatives, and become more active members of the school community. Social and emotional wellbeing is nurtured through a positive classroom environment where respect, kindness, and encouragement are at the heart of all we do.

Mr McCann's 3rd Class has 27 boys & girls this year. The children are no longer part of the junior school - they are seniors now! 3rd Class is an exciting step forward, and we look forward to a year filled with learning, laughter, and success!

A Special Visit from the Sam Maguire Cup 💚💛

There was great excitement at Faha National School recently when we welcomed a very special visitor — the famous Sam Maguire Cup!

As proud Kerry supporters, pupils and staff were thrilled to have the opportunity to see the cup up close and celebrate Kerry. The school was full of green and gold as everyone gathered to admire one of the most iconic trophies in Irish sport.

Each class had their photograph taken with the Sam Maguire Cup, creating wonderful memories for all our pupils. There was a real sense of pride and excitement throughout the day, with many smiles, cheers, and plenty of football chat!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this special visit possible. It was a day that will be remembered for many years to come at Faha National School.
