Pancake Tuesday
Thank you so much to our wonderful Parent Association and all who provided us with pancakes on Pancake Tuesday 25th February 2020. Children were treated to pancakes with their choice of toppings. Click here for photos.
Paddy Stack
Thank you so much to Paddy Stack of @kerryastronomyclub on Facebook who visited us on 19th February 2020 and spoke to children from 1st to 6th classes. He had a really interesting slide show about the planets, stars and moons and constellations and all children were given a map of the February sky to take home so they can go in search of these constellations.
Thanks to Kerry Museum for sponsoring 4 family passes which we presented to the 4 best questions today who were from Tara, Matea, Jake and Jamie. Thanks to parent Michelle Culloo for introducing Paddy to us and for getting us the lovely prizes too.
For more information please visit @kerryastronomyclub on Facebook who welcome new members and meet monthly for stargazing and much more.
Water Poster Winners
Well done to our 3 winners in the Greenschool Water Poster competition on 18/02/2020. One winner was chosen from the 3 classes who entered and all children who entered received a little prize thanks to Angela Wall of Greenschools and our Elder Greenschool Committee who presented and judged the entries today. Cyprian was judged to be the overall winner and he won a new cycling helmet. Lily and Emily won Greenschool pencil cases and water bottles. Thank you to everyone who entered. Here is just a small selection from the high standards the committee had to choose from. These winning posters will now go on to the national competition.
Noyeks Newmans
Ms Debbie Moriarty’s 5th and 6th class really enjoyed their trip to Noyeks Newmans as part of their Maths project on 18th February 2020. They will be calculating the costs involved in fitting out a house. Thanks to Joe Costello and Ross O Connor for facilitating this.
Blackrock Conservatory
Huge thanks go to our Parent’s Association for sponsoring the Blackrock Observatory Star Dome at our school on 18th February 2020. Children of all classes got the opportunity to see the night sky on the big dome roof and planets were pointed out to them. We saw constellations and views of earth from the moon. It was just fabulous and we are very grateful to our Parents Association for this wonderful opportunity. Thanks to Frances the host whose energy levels were so high all day. Your enthusiasm is infectious Frances.
