We are delighted with the lastest addition to our school – our outdoor seating area which was installed with assistance from the Sliabh Bawn Communinty Benefit Fund. These picnic benches are a tremendous asset to our school and will allow us to create an outdoor classroom in the warmer weather. It also gives the children the opportunity to eat their lunch outdoors in comfort.
We are busy working on our next Green Flag for Global Citizenship – Energy. A competition was held to select a new Green Code and congratulations to Makayla who was the winner with her fantastic entry:
Day 1
We have commenced work on achieving our next green flag “Global Citizenship – Energy”, covering topics such as Renewable Energy and Sustainability and Climate Action. We hold monthly meetings and have elected a new Green Schools Committee. We are reviewing and monitoring our energy usage in the school with regular meter readings taking place.
At the moment, we are working on our Green Code, with the winning code to be chosen in mid November.
Lots to do!!
As always there was a great response to the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Work on Aistear has continued in our Junior Room with the themes so far this year being “The School Office” and “The Witches Den”. After midterm, we will do “The Busy Café” and after that we will have our Christmas Theme. We use role play, construction, small world, play dough and junk art to explore our themes and we really enjoy it.
Well done to all the children for taking part and making such great efforts during Maths Week.
Particular congratulations must go to our six winners – Alex C, Michaela, Ellen, Aoibhinn, Alex T and Aidan.
