Climate Action Week Fundraiser

Our Parents' Council in conjunction with our Green School Committee have planned our first fundraiser of the year. This Climate Action Week we are asking each family in the school, staff, neighbours, and local businesses to donate one weeks worth of bottles and cans that they may be collecting as part of the Re-Turn Scheme. We have a drop off point outside the school and we are very excited to see how our collection builds up over the week.

 The drop off point will be set up outside the front of the school from 14-24 October.  Eircode R32FT51 

Spring Bulbs

As part of our 'Budding Gardeners' Programme, we planted our Spring bulbs including Daffodils and Snowdrops. We look forward to taking care of them and watching them bloom in Spring

Earth Day 2024🌎

On Monday 22nd April, we celebrated Earth Day.

As part of our Green Schools work and our Picker Pals Programme, we took part in a whole school litter pick. We collected 2 large bags of litter around our school. 

We read a nice story about taking care of the Earth. Thank you to Ms. Delaney for leading the Green Schools Committee. 

We hope to get out for another litter pick around our local area in the coming weeks.

Wind Energy

We enjoyed researching  a very interesting topic in the Junior Room: Wind Energy.

We took part in a virtual tour of a Wind Farm, and investigated how wind is harvested and used to create power. The students went outside and saw wind turbines located close to our school.

We used blocks, links, and Lego to build our own Wind Farm and took part in an Art Competition with Wind Energy Ireland and Bord na Móna, giving us a chance to win a trip to Mountlucas Wind Farm.
