Yesterday the senior room travelled to The Clifden Town Hall to participate in The Whalen Foundation Science Fair. This year the theme of the progam was a ‘Marine Theme’ which fitted in well with out Marine Theme Green Schools work. The children decided to do their project on Spongebob marine characters. They did a great job and had an enjoyable day out. It is always lovely to have the opportunity to meet all the children in other schools too. Special thanks to Declan Holmes for all of the fantastic work he did, thanks to Marie Bourke for coordinating the whole program in 14 schools and a huge word of thanks to The Whalen Family in America who generously fund this science program every year. #greenschools
Yesterday, we made the most of the beautiful day and did a fantastic walk on Omey Island. We walked over 10KM, we saw lots of interesting things and we took time to listen to the waves.
Yesterday, the senior room did their annual Spring Clean from the school to Omey Strand. They did a great job and gathered 12 big bags of litter. They even found two black bags just dumped behind the wall at Omey. Bringing awareness to keeping the beautiful space we live in is very important to our school. Well done everyone! #greenschool

Yesterday the senior room participated in a very interesting Renewable Ocean Energy lesson led by Noirin Burke from the Marine Institute. It fits in well with our work on the Green Schools ‘Marine Theme’. We all found it very interesting! #greenschools
The Junior room made the most of the beautiful day yesterday, they walked to Omey and did their PE there and they also studied the signs of spring on their way there. They spotted frogspawn, buds appearing, calves, daffodils and crocuses. They also kept an eye out for any litter on the way too. #greenschool
Yesterday we had a wonderful visit with the talented photographer Doug Allan. Dough is a renowned wildlife photographer who has worked on projects such as The Blue Planet. Dough kindly volunteered to come to visit our school and spoke to each classroom about his travels to the Arctic and Antarctic. This talk also links in well with our Marine Green Schools Theme that we have been busy working on. Dough kindly presented us with his beautiful book and gave us some posters of his images. We are very grateful to Doug for delivering such an interesting talk.
Last Friday, the senior room gathered their own rushes at home and brought them in to make their St. Brigids Day crosses. They turned out great!
