Term 1

Miss. Kenny’s first class have all worked very hard and had many new experiences this first term.  The pupils successfully attended their first swimming lessons in Forest Park Leisure Centre. They participated in a fascinating owl talk. The class learned new hip hop moves at their dance lessons. Through their lessons, the pupils explored topics such as transport, games of old and new, houses, teeth and toys from decades gone by and from different parts of the world. Within art they displayed their fantastic artistic ability creating pencil holders, pompom autumn owls, Halloween skeletons and bats, clay pinch pot mouth monsters, house monoprints, clay Santa’s and Christmas cards.  The class have indeed been very busy! Here are some photos of the class hard at work.

 

Green Schools News

All the pupils and teachers have been very busy for the past two years working towards and achieving our first Green Schools Litter and Waste flag. Well done to our first Green School Committee who put in a huge amount of effort and commitment.

On Tuesday the 21st of November, we were invited to attend Wexford County Council’s Annual Environment Awards to receive an award for achieving our first Green Flag. We were presented with a framed certificate and bird house to display at our school.

We are now working our second Green Flag, which is based on reducing the amount of energy the school uses. A new Green School Committee has been formed. Our new class representatives include:
