Cycle Workshop
As the weather improves, more and more children have told us that they would like to cycle to school. As safety is so important, we wanted to teach the children how to cycle safely. So Sorcha, our Green School Travel officer spent the day with us teaching us all about cycling and bike safety. She made sure all the children’s helmets were fitted properly and she showed them how to use their brakes correctly. Sorcha also set up drills to help the children with their balance, cycle with one hand off, keep a good distance from one another, cycle two abreast and use the correct hand signalling. It was a really useful and informative workshop. Thanks Sorcha!
Léitheoireacht Gaeilge
This term, the pupils in Mr. Shevlin’s class will be helping us with our léitheoireacht Gaeilge. We are buddying up to practice our reading and to learn from the older children. It’s a really nice way to use the Gaeilge we have been learning. 
Beach Clean Up
Yesterday was our annual beach clean up day so all the children from 2nd-6th class headed off to Salterstown beach. We were well equipped with litter pickers, gloves, bibs and rubbish bags, all given to us by An Taisce. It was a gorgeous sunny day and we really enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. It is great to see the children taking such good care of our environment.
Active Maths
We got the chance to explore the world of K’NEX in our maths this week. They are brilliant for building lots of different types of structures. We looked at building 3D shapes in this lesson. Here we are at work!
