A shady spot for a snowman
We had to move our snowmen around during the day to prevent them from melting. There wasn’t a great deal of snow left when we went out at 11 but we gathered it up nevertheless and made snowmen. You can see one of them in our new header and here is another on its way to a shady spot out of the sun.
What a day!
We had a very active start to our day in school.
The field was covered in snow so we all gathered to make snowballs and snowmen.
Thank you to An Taisce and Laois County Council
The Board of Managment and the Green School Committee would like to thank An Taisce and Laois County Council for their generous sponsorship of the Cycling Safety Courses held in May/June and September/October of this year. Pupils in 5th and 6th have benefitted from this training and we trust that the lessons learned will serve them well as they travel around converting their own never ending energy into mechanical energy.
This initiative is part of our work on the 4th Green Flag Project which addresses the issue of Transport. Next Monday all classes from Junior infants to 6th will engage with the topic of climate change. Following the visit you will find a report on the day on our Green Schools Page.
A visit to Dublin Zoo
4th Class joined their classmate Sarah on a day out to Dublin Zoo, as they celebrated the inclusion of her art work in this years Agri-Aware Farm Safety Calendar. Children and adults alike had a wonderful time and we would like to thank Dublin Zoo, Agri-Aware, FBD Insurance and the ESB for a lovely day. The children met some of the Ireland’s famous zoo keepers, who were very generous with their time, sharing many of the latest stories from the zoo. Check out the 8th edition of our magazine where we will share many of the wonderful memories of our day.
And they said they did nothing today.
Now what are we supposed to do next?
This is what we discovered hidden in the sand.
And this is how our lungs work.
We made our own instruments while studying the science of sound.
Preparations are underway
Now that we are in the Season of Advent, 6th class begin the task of decorating the school while the Green School Committee remind us that they are busy ensuring that we have not forgotten any of the lessons learned while working on our previous projects.
New Slogan
The Green School Committee have chosen a new slogan for the school. Watch this space on Friday Nov 30th when the slogan will be launched at school assembly.
