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.

Carpooling

Thanks to the Costello and Higgins families for getting the carpooling off to a great start this fortnight!

Well done also to Isaac and the O'Sullivan family!

As you might be aware, we are entering a Carpooling competition as part of our Greenschool Travel flag.  Here is the info in case you missed it:

We need your help with a Greenschool competition called “The Big Travel Challenge”.

During the first 2 weeks of February, we are asking if any of you could please carpool to school on any suitable days? Share a drive with a family you might know that lives near you, and help make a difference to our environment and our health and also help us with our Travel flag.

If you wouldn’t mind sharing a photo of your journey to school, to be put on our website Greenschool page (not Facebook) of this carpooling, we would be thrilled to enter these pictures and our results in a competition. An Taisce might like to use them too so only send photos you are happy to share.

We are choosing ‘carpooling’ as the mode of transport we are promoting in this competition during the 10 school days between 3rd and 14th February 2020. We will survey the children during the fortnight to count how many are carpooling. (We will promote other modes of transport later in the year when weather improves).

The winning school will win a cash prize of €1,000 to be used for our Greenschool, travel programme and 4 runners up will win €500 for their schools.

Please email these photos to Miss Brassil on: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

We would really appreciate your help with this.

Thank you everyone!
