Sciath na Scol Victory!
The Boys’ Football Team gave us a heart stopping match against Barney Street N.S. in Páirc Uí Chaoimh today. The boys returned home champions!
Planting
We also planted tulips for the Spring. These we have kept in the garden to the front of the school so we can keep an eye on them over the winter months.
Planting seeds and bulbs
Today we planted lettuce seeds trying to establish what we needed for the seeds to grow?
Heat, light or water?
2nd and 3rd Class Fieldtrip to the Lough
2nd and 3rd class went on a field trip to the Lough to learn about the history of the Lough and how the community uses it. We learnt about the bats there and why you must not feed the birds bread but green vegetables instead.
