We are completing a 5k walk with 5th this Friday and we are really looking forward to this… We are still fundraising but we would like to thank 3rd, 4th and 5th for helping us to reduce the cost of our trip to the Gaeltacht. So its never too late to sponsor us…!

We will let you know on Friday how our walk went and how much we managed to fundraise..

Thanks again everybody,

6th class

It was really tough to choose between all of the great designs.  After much discussion, we decided that Hannah Dowling’s (4th Class) design really captured the theme of gardening.   We particularly liked how it showed children working together and enjoying the outdoors.

Hannah also helped me add writing to the design and upload it to the website.

Well done!

On Wednesday 21^st two producers came into 5^th class and told them they would like to make a cd with them. They told us that they wanted 5^th class to hold a competition, for the cover and the inside of the cd.

There will be a competition for the inside of the cd cover for junior, senior, 1^st and 2^nd. There will also be a competition for the outside cover of the cd for 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th and 6^th class.

There cannot be any writing or text on the picture and you must include your name on the back of the image.

5^th class will choose the best 10 for the inside and for the outside and the company will pick the best one for the inside and for the outside.

You will have plenty of time to draw over the Easter holidays

So now that you know about the competition start drawing!!!!! by Filip, Laura and Lucy

Just a quick reminder to please remember to protect your child from the effects of the sun:

- Encourage him/her to wear a sunhat, especially if they have very short hair or burn easily.

- Put on the sunscreen before school.

- Make sure your child has enough drinks to last the day. If they have a water bottle, it can be refilled from the tap in the classroom. While drinks are not permitted on yard, the children are allowed to drink water at any other time during the day.

Hopefully this good weather will continue! Enjoy!

Junior/Senior Infants completed wonderful artwork for our Green School Notice-board.

1^st and 2^nd class completed an appliance audit and a stand-by survey.

3^rd class completed a survey on draughts and insulation in the school building.

4^th class recorded the temperature in each classroom and drew a graph showing the results.

5^th class have been helping the infants with their artwork and also getting our displays ready for our Green school Notice-board.

6^th class typed a questionaire to find out about energy comsumption in our homes. At the moment they are compiling the results.

All this great work will be on display shortly on our new Green School Notice-board.
