Thanks SO MUCH to Mr Boom, real name Urs Wenk! Urs kindly came to our school today to Junior and Senior Infant classes and 1st class do do drumming with us, after a parent won a competition for us with Drumdance Ireland on Facebook. Urs gave us his time free of charge today lifting some very heavy drums in and out of our hall and he was such an upbeat teacher, it was infectious. Thanks to Paudie for his help with the chairs too. We really enjoyed it. Click DRUMMING for more photos.
On 4th March, 4 children came outside and helped to plant flower seeds to attact bees to our garden. These came with the Save the Bees parcel we received yesterday.
We need your help again everyone! We are taking part in the Save the Bees Campaign in conjunction with SuperValu stores. They have sent us this gigantic wall chart which some Junior Infants had fun holding up in this picture and we need your help to fill it with tokens which you can get when you shop in any Supervalu shop. We have lesson plans for classes and posters of bees. One third of our food is pollinated by bees and sadly30% of our Irish bees are in danger of becoming extinct and we want to stop this happening because bees are really important in our ecosystem for pollination of all plants and flowers. We can be in with a chance of winning or sharing in €50,000 if we can get this chart completed before 14th May 2020. Please help us get from 1 to 300 so we can enter this terrific competition. Thanks everyone!
Thanks to everyone who carpooled during February 2020 and are continuing to do so. You all helped with our successfull entry to the Big Travel Challenge in the Greenschools competition. When the weather improves, we hope to scoot, cycle and walk to school too.
