Today we learned about Endangered Animals in other parts of the world. We discussed Climate change and global warming and the effects on wildlife.
We then discussed ways of caring for our environment. The children suggested planting more trees, recycling, using electric cars, buses, planes, using solar panels, wind turbines, stopping over fishing and reduce emissions by walking instead of travelling by car.
This week the children enjoyed the movement skills with Olympic Champions Britney Arendse, Sarah Lavin, Shane O’Donoghue, Thomas Barr and Lucy Mulhall.
This week the children enjoyed moving with Olympic Champions Rhys McClenaghan, Ellen Walshe, Lucy Mulhall, Shane O’Donoghue and Nadia Power.
The children on the Green Schools Committee from Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class were invited over to 2nd Class today, where they each got a little present: a hyacinth bulb for their class!
The bulbs are in a special glass jar that will allow the children to see the roots grow over the next few weeks. The bulbs need to be in the dark until after Christmas. Looking forward to seeing how these lovely flowers grow and bloom!
Bobby, Djulaibib and Dylan got through to the mini-intel regional finals which took place in Shannon on the 30th November. (Unfortunately Dylan was unable to attend on the day). There were schools from Limerick, Clare and Galway at the regional finals. In total 98 schools took part. Although the boys didn’t progress to the finals in Dublin, they did very well to get that far, and we are all very proud of their achievements 👏
Some fabulous work by Cillian in sixth class 😊
The children had a great time at the Toy Show disco, organised by the parents association, on Friday 24th November.
We had an Active School Flag poster competition today for Active Scholl Flag Slogan Day. The boys and girls in 1st class also created an extra verse to be added to our school slogan. The boys and girls performed the Slogan in their classes.
