There is great gardening going on in school during April. 2nd class and 4th class have planted lots of different things including tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, runner beans and they are all growing from seed in the classrooms now. With a bit of water, fresh air, love and sunshine, we should have vegetables growing shortly. Well done to the teachers and classes involved, Mrs Lawlor and Ms O'Shea.
Senior Infants in Ms Dinan's class enjoyed the sunshine today painting the background for their Speace themed Aistear next week. They are also painting their own rocket in class ready for blast-off. This week, they have learned about the different planets in the solar system and how astronauts sleep, eat, drink, brush their teeth and even go to the toilet in space!!!
It is fabulous to see our cycle stands full to capacity on 15th April 2021. Well done to everyone who cycled to school. It is so good for our health, te environment and our mental well-being. Keep it up everyone. If more cycle, we will look at getting more cycle stands.
Two brothers Alex and Jamie made a very special delivery with Paudie our caretaker on the day of the Easter holidays 26th March, when they called to all classes with an Easter egg for every child courtesy of our Parent’s Association. Thanks so much for this lovely gift and to our very helpful delivery boys.
n 25th March 2021, 8 members of the Greenschool committee spoke to Angela Wall, our Greenschool inspector from An Taisce via a Zoom call. These children were all from 1st class and spoke very well about our Travel flag, plans for our day of Action coming soon and told personal stories about what they are doing to be more environmentally friendly. Ms Brassil was extremely proud and Mr O’Connell popped into the meeting for a few minutes too and was very impressed. Thanks to Ann Marie, our SNA for being on the meeting wit us and to Angela who was just terrific in getting the best out of the children and giving them all a chance to be heard. They each got a high-viz jacket to keep which are great to wear cycling and walking and keeping us more visible. Don’t worry if you didn’t get the opportunity to be on the Zoom with us today, as if we get this flag, everyone will get to celebrate it with us.
