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.

We have to thank the children from 3rd and 4th classes who did such fantastic baking for us for our Bake Sale today. The goodies were just delicious! The money raised will go towards the First Communion, flowers, photos and buses. Thanks so much to the parents Association members who manned the stall, to the bakers and buyers.

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.

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!
