Cycle Week

Above are the Hobbert sisters on their bikes from 5th June 2020, looking like they are on the way to school. We wish that was the case! 

Unfortunately, Bike Week is cancelled this year but Green-Schools Travel would still like to celebrate the week in someway so from the 15th to the 19th June.

Greenschools Ireland are having a ‘Celebrating Cycling’ Week.

Would any of you please be able to send me photos of you cycling? Or you could write for me about what you love about cycling, the positives and benefits etc. You could also draw a picture of cycling! This would be very much appreciated for our Travel flag, as we are so limited with what we can do at the moment. Please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you SO MUCH to parent and OT Eileen O'Connor who very kindly gave us really helpful tips on teaching a child how to cycle. Please see these in our Initiatives / Greenschool page which you can find on the top of this website. She shared really helpful videos and much more.

Task 7

Well done to everyone who did the book reviews for last week's challenge, which was TASK 6.

Please click TASK 7  to watch Mr O'Connell explain Task 7 for children to be done please during the first week of June. It is to raise awareness of racism, which unfortunately still exists in our world and to point out that everyone is equal, no matter where you are from or what colour your skin is. Everyone is asked to please  take a family photo of everyone wearing red and Mr O'Connell will make a slideshow of all our 'red' photos in our bid to stand up to racism. Let's show racism the RED CARD!
