4th Class recently took on our garden project and did an amazing job.

They put in trojan work, cleaning all our flower and vegetable beds.

Then they got to work planting. They planted peas, beans, edible flowers, onions, carrots, salad leaves, beetroot, pumpkin, and regular flowers.

Pond

The 4th Class decided to dig our very own pond as a new addition to our garden for this year.

I’m sure you’ll agree they did a fabulous job.

Well done to everybody who contributed to this amazing project smile We think its a wonderful new addition to our school. 

Please see our gallery below for a sample of the hard work our 4th class completed this year.

3rd Class School Tour

Last Thursday, our 3rd Class visited Smugglers Cove in nearby Rosscarbery for their school tour. 

Even though the weather was very wet, it didn’t dampen the spirits of our 3rd Class pupils.

They had an absolute ball trying out the newly introduced tubing slides. They had great fun attempting to find their way out of the Tower Adventure maze too. While also, giving Adventure golf their best shot during the day.

I’m sure it’ll be a day they’ll never forget.

School Show 2021

As you know, we were unable to have our usual school show this year. We have, however, done something very special with the 6th class. Rehearsals have been taking place in line with covid restrictions both in school and after school since returning after Easter.

We are delighted to now be at the final stage of production and the performance is being recorded this week by Greg Mulcahy. Once the final editing has been completed, we hope to take 6th class to the Park Cinema for a special screening on the 16th of June.

We are very grateful to Mark Coombes for once again photographing the performance. This year’s production has been a real team event with 6th class pupils and staff putting in trojan work. Huge thanks to everyone for their hard work.

Thanks to our Dancing Teacher, Jenny O’Gorman for all the work and effort she has put into the show.

Special thanks to Anne Beechinor for the enormous amount of work she has put into the show, both in rehearsals and the final productions creating something very special with the 6th class.

We are all looking forward to seeing the finished product when details of how the DVD can be ordered will be forwarded. Thanks to everyone and well done!

Green Schools Action Day

Green Schools – “No Power Hour”

The Green-Schools Committee has been working very hard behind the scenes towards getting our 7th Green Flag, Global Citizenship: Energy. They have been raising awareness on how looking after our local environment helps people all over the world, whilst also looking into improvements in energy management in our school.

For their key issue, the committee is learning about Climate Change, which is now widely acknowledged as the biggest challenge facing our global environment. Climate Change can be described as a change in global and regional weather patterns over time.

We are had our Green-Schools Action Day last Friday, 21 st May, where pupils were invited to wear the colour green and each class had a ‘No Power-Hour’.

We encouraged all families to join us on the day for a ‘No Power-Hour’ at home or at work

Our planet and electricity bills could sure do with the help. Thank you all for your support!

“Lights Out”

As part of the launch, we introduced our “Lights Out” initiative where we encouraged all classes to turn the lights off in toilets and classrooms when they are not in use.

The Green Schools Committee will be doing regular checks over the next month to see which classes will take the prizes of popcorn and a movie. Certainly a nice incentive for looking after our planet.
