Many thanks to the children who are singing or playing an instrument in the choir and they are reminded to wear their uniform and to be in the church no later than 10.50 a.m. The ceremony is expected to be over by 12.30.

Water Saving Tip

Posted on by

As we are working towards achieving our third green flag for Water, we will be bringing you some tips on how to save water at home, at work and at school.

This week’s tip is:

Pick one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to be washed at the end of the day. 🙂

 

Down on the farm!

Posted on by

Junior and Senior Infants have been very busy learning about life on the farm for the past number of weeks. They are exploring the theme of the farm through Aistear. As you can see they have made some wonderful farm animals out of clay while their farm area in the classroom is also very true to life. Miss Butler made the wonderful farm area background and fence and, together with Miss Dobbs, added some props to make a very realistic farm in the classroom.

Well done to everyone involved.
