5th class have started cycling. They are taking part in cycling lessons every Thursday for 6 weeks. They are really enjoying learning new tips and tricks on their bikes.
On Friday 27th May we had a very special guest on TEAMS to speak to us about Energy, Electricity and Hydroelectric power. John Gallagher from the ESB spoke to Fifth class all about the work the ESB do in Ireland and their exciting plans for the future. We talked about the future of electric cars and the need for more charging points around Ireland.🚙🏭 John encouraged the girls to get involved in Science, Engineering and STEM in the future. It was an excellent talk.
Garda Cathal Buggy visited 5th class today, and explained some very important Halloween safety tips to us. He explained how we should be careful and safe over Halloween. Stay a safe distance from fireworks and bonfires. Have an adult with you when trick or treating, or at events. If you are dressed up in dark clothes, add reflective material or a torch, so that you can be seen by cars and cyclists. Make sure your costume is fire resistant. Do not buy or light fireworks. Keep pets indoors on Halloween night, and check on older people who may be frightened. Stay safe and have fun at Halloween. Thank you Garda Buggy for coming in to see us today!!
We are delighted to hear that 5th class will be returning to Swimming Lessons in November. Ms Byrd's class will go on Mondays, and Ms Doyle's on Tuesdays, starting on Nov 1st. Pupils will go directly to the swimming pool on the morning of their lesson. Supervision will be provided at the pool from 8.40, and the lesson starts at 9am sharp. We will walk back to school afterwards, weather permitting. Lessons cost 5euro per week, for 7 weeks. So don't forget your swim kit! Ms Byrd on Mondays, Ms Doyle on Tuesdays!!
