Astronomy Talk

We are so lucky on Wednesday 19th February we will welcome Paddy Stack, a guest speaker from Kerry Astronomy Club to speak to us and answer all our space age questions the day after the stardome Blackrock Observatory lady called Frances visits us. This will take place in the hall from 1:30-2:30pm. Have your questions ready children from 3rd to 6th classes!  Thanks to parent Michelle Culloo for organising this for us.

Here is a picture that Frances presented our school with after her visit last time she came. It is a photo taken of the moon with one of her very powerful telescopes and nobody else in the world has this photo- it was taken at a very particular time and date and is exclusive to Blennerville School. 

Internet Safety

Huge thanks goes to Garda Mary Gardiner for speaking to our 5th and 6th classes about the seriousness of Internet Safety. This was a very beneficial talk and really opened our eyes into what we are potentially opening ourselves to online. 11/02/2020 is Internet Safety Day so we are marking this.

Grandparent's Day

Thanks to our wonderful grandparents and grandchildren for making randparent's Day so special in Blennerville on 31st January 2020. Fr Francis and Fr Vitalis led us in a fabulous service that saw children reading poems and prayers, and singing. Thank you Fr Francis and Fr Vitalis. Thanks to Dan’s baking for the lovely treats and to our wonderful Parents Association. Grandparents are so special and it was lovely to show appreciation for them today. Click GRANDPARENTS to see some photos. Thanks to Ann Marie O'Connor also for the lovely altar floral display.

Cycle Right Begins

Thanks so much to Leif and Jay today who took our 5th and 6th classes outside for the first of 4 sessions of Cycle Right. The instructors are from Trailflow, and they bring bikes, helmets , high visibility gear and promote correct and safe cycling during their sessions. They were so accommodating and took those who needed it for individual time. Leif told children that if they listened well at Cycle Right, that they would have a head start on rules of the road for their driving tests in the future which may not be all that far away! He stressed the importance of protecting our brains, hence the strict rules on helmets. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and we thank Leif, Jay, Ms Moriarty and Anne-Marie Scott.
