Drum Dance Ireland

We have a date for Drum Dance Ireland! A few months ago, parent Rebecca Roche entered a competition on the school's behalf on Facebook and she won a half day free drumming with Urs Wenk and Drum Dance Ireland. We are thrilled that this will take place on 4th March 2020 and the lucky classes taking part will be: 9am-9:45am Ms Dinan's Senior Infants, 9:45-10:30am Mrs O'Sullivan's Junior Infants, and 10:45-11:30am Ms Doyle's 1st Class. The junior infants have not had drumming before and it's only fair that 1st class who won it, get to take part too. We really look forward to the day. Thank you Drum Dance Ireland.

 

Climate Change Rap

Have a look at this incredible Climate Change rap by Cappabue National School called 'One Small Change'. It's excellent and really gets the message across. Enjoy!

More Carpooling

Well done to the familes making a huge effort with carpooling this fortnight. Here are some more pictures from this week in February 2020. Please could you make sure the photos you send in are the correct way up as they won't allow me to turn them. Thanks everyone!

Cycle Right

Thanks so much to Leif and Jay today who took our 5th and 6th classes outside for the first of 4 sessions for 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 and Greenschool inspector Angela Wall for calling in and taking photos for us.

Star Dome

On Tuesday 18th February 2020 a star dome is coming to our school. We are very grateful to our Parent Association for sponsoring this for us all to enjoy. Children will get to lie down inside the dome and look up at the roof while Frances from the Blackrock Conservatory shows us planets, stars, constellations and much more to blow our minds! Thanks to parent Michelle Culloo for booking this for us. We really look forward to the day.
