Well done to all the children who turned out for our big clean up yesterday after school. Lots of rubbish was collected and the place looks great this morning. We are lucky to have such wonderful children in our area who care about the environment.
Also a big thank you to Mr Gilmartin, Ms Gallagher, Mr Stuart, Mr Ruddy, Sr Catherine and Ms Walsh who came out to help. Mr Ruddy’s ice creams came at just the right time and gave us more energy to carry on! Thank you Mr Ruddy
Our Green Flag for Travel
On Friday we brought home our 4th Green Flag to our school. Emmanuel, Shannon and Graham did a great job in representing the school at the award ceremony. Well done to everyone in the school who worked so hard to get the Green Flag and keep up the good work. Hopefully we will have a ceremony in June to raise the flag and we’ll celebrate!
Trip to Xilinx
Yesterday, the Enrichment club visited Xilinx after school. It was a great trip – we learned all about engineers, microchips and patents. We were brought into a conference room where we had a video conference call with two schools in America – one class in Colorado and one in San Jose. It was so much fun – Annie even danced for them! Thank you so much to Xilinx for making us feel so welcome!
Pottery
Look at the amazing pottery our parents’ class have created! Well done!
