1st- 6th Class were thrilled to have a science day yesterday with Anne Conneely. Anne, a talented scientist, who is an Aunt of Keeva and Clodagh and kindly offered to come in to do science with the children. It was so engaging and the children loved it all. We are so grateful to Anne for doing such a wonderful workshop.
On Monday we did birthday baking with the children who had recent birthdays and who will have birthdays over the summer. Martina also sent home/ kept cake for any children who was absent on the day. Special thanks to Martina for organising this so well. Such a lovely treat and they shared the cake with the whole school.
On Friday 13th June, our 6th Class had their leaving dinner party. They planned their menu and made their meal in the kitchen with Ms. Griffin & Martina.

On Tuesday this wee, we had a lovely end of year gathering and Graduation for our wonderful 6th Class. We will be sad to see Michaela, William, Keeva, Ellie and Liam go, and we wish them the best of luck in Clifden Community School!
Last Friday, the Senior Room travelled to Westport House to do their activity tour. They had a great day out!
Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Aoife and Damien who work with the Acres Scheme (The Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme). The Acres scheme aims to help farmers improve biodiversity, air and water quality, and climate resilience while also providing income support to up to 50,000 farm families. Aoife and Damien did a very interesting presentation about boglands in Ireland. We then had an opportunity to explore a local bogland beside the school. The children were very engaged and we all really enjoyed the trip. Thanks to Aoife and Damien for visiting us. #greenschool
Yesterday we were delighted to welcome Garda Alan to the school. Garda Alan spoke with the Junior and Senior room children. He chatted about safety i.e. the importance of wearing seatbelts, sitting in the back of cars, online safety, bullying, water safety, etc… We appreciate Garda Alan making the time to come to talk to the children.
We decided to seize the moment and make the most of the beautiful weather. We walked to Omey where the senior pupils got to play, swim and have fun. We had a great day!
