Thanks so much to everyone who made an effort to walk, park and stride, scoot and cycle to schoolon 30th April 2021, on our Day of Action. Our bicycle stands were full. Children all wore high visibility bibs to school to highlight road safety as this is our Greenschool Travel flag year 2. Thanks to Angela Wall our Greenschool inspector and An Taisce National Spring Clean for dropping by the village this morning. She used a speed camera to do a survey of car’s speed through the village. She clocked frighteningly high speeds this morning  outside our gates at 8:30am! We wish traffic travelled slower, especially at school times. Classes have been litter picking all this week and we hope we have made a difference to our community by helping clean up. It was lovely to see familiar faces on the walk. 3rd class met Mrs Sugrue and Mrs O’Connor on their walk who both taught at our school. Thanks to John Higgins for taking what we collected from us. Thanks to Paudie our caretaker for getting all the bags together and bringing them to Higgins’ Waste. Thanks to Mr O'Connell for getting hands on and helping with the rubbish too! Well done to everyone and thank you all.

This week, Ms Doyle’s 1st class have been learning all about bridges and on Thursday they went on a walk to Blennerville Bridge to explore how it was built, what type of bridge it is, what materials were used to build it and what function it now provides for the community. They then drew it freehand and wrote up the all the information they learned about it.

On 23rd April, we celebrated Tie Day Friday in conjunction with Kerry Mental Health. All children wore a tie to school.

Junior Infants went on a Mini-beast hunt on Thursday 22nd April finding lots of creepy crawlies around the school, especially in our Fairy Garden.
