We had a very exciting week for science week. Ms Mc Grath’s class made bread with yeast with Mrs Kelly. It was very tasty. Mr Buckley’s class made tomato and vegetable soup to sell to the whole school. Arrabawn Creamery Scientists did workshops with all classes. They taught us about PH scale, making a clear bottle and lots of other fun things.





Sean Hartigan from an Taisce came to the school to teach us how to fix a bicycle puncture. We are trying to walk or cycle to school to get the next green flag.


The Greenschools committee were very busy recently. During the parent teacher meetings, the boys stayed back after school to survey the parents arriving at the school on travel. They also did some fundraising to buy prizes for the annual recycled Christmas decoration competition. Thank you to Romanos for sponsoring the pizza.  We’ll keep you updated with the results soon. 





The second classes held a hula hoop competition. The boys practised hard every day in the yard. Congratulations to all the competitors and the winners!
