Jersey Day
Well done and thank you to all who supported GOAL Jersey Day at Our Lady's N.S.
Together we raised €192 for this very worthy charity.
Halloween Fancy Dress
Halloween was very different this year at Our Lady's N.S. Social distancing was the order of the day as we held our Fancy Dress Parade outside. One thing that didn't change though, was the fantastic effort our students made in dressing up for the day. They looked brilliant! Well done to all and Happy Halloween.
Halloween Fancy Dress Parade
2020 has been a pretty scary year. Halloween at Our Lady's was a different and an altogether nicer kind of scary. Have a look at our Junior and Senior Infants on their Halloween Fancy Dress Parade.

Our Lady's N.S. Pumpkin Soup Recipe
One of the highlights of the annual Halloween Dress Up Day at Our Lady's N.S. has always been Mrs. Egan's pumpkin soup. Unfortunately, due to the constraints of the COVID-19 restrictions, Mrs. Egan and her Sixth Class helpers will be unable to make and share the soup this year.
Nevertheless, Mrs. Egan has shared her recipe here so that we can all have a go at making it at home this year.
Enjoy!
Our Lady's N.S. Pumpkin Soup Recipe
You will need: A grown up to help with all the chopping, cooking and blending!
A big saucepan and lid.
A hand held blender
Ingredients:
2 onions (chopped).
3 sticks of celery (chopped).
3 cloves of garlic ( chopped...to keep the vampires away!!)
3 carrots (peeled and chopped).
1 pumpkin ( chop the orange flesh inside..don't use the seeds or the stringy bits!)
A small shake of thyme.
A big shake of parsley.
Vegetable stock cubes/melts.
Water.
Cooking oil or butter.
Salt and pepper.
Method:
Heat a little oil or butter in a large sauce pan on a medium heat.
Fry the onions and celery until they start to soften.
Add the garlic..stir and cook for a minute.
Add the chopped carrots...stir..Turn down the heat if the food is going brown.
Add a small shake of thyme and a big shake of parsley. Add salt and pepper.
Add the chopped pumpkin....don't worry if it all won't fit.Just fill two thirds of the pot. Stir
Put on the lid and let the vegetables sweat for 5-10 minutes to bring out the flavour.Stir every
now and then.
Cover the vegetables with water, turn up the heat and bring to the boil.
Add 3 stock melts and stir.
Turn down the heat and simmer until all the vegetables are soft.
Take off the heat and blend with a hand blender until the soup is creamy and there are no
lumps.
