Can you spot the animals hidden beneath the leaves?

In Cairdeas 2 we are weighing using a balance scales.

We made our own ice-cream

Thanks to all those parents who attended the AGM of the Parents’ Council on Monday 18th September. It was a very positive and productive meeting.  The first event planned is a Cake Sale on Saturday 14th October.  More details later.

In Cairdeas 2 we went on a material hunt around the school.

On Wednesday evening we were awarded first prize in Tullamore Credit Union’s Best School Garden Competition.  Well done to all the children who have planted, watered and looked after our various gardens over the last few months.  Thanks to Mrs. Kearns who has guided us in all our gardening activities.  A special word of thanks to Pat Foley and Geashill Tidy Towns for all their assistance and inspiration over the years.

Well done to the boys who played their first match of the season on Wednesday 13th September against Rath N.S. It was great to start the year with a win.

On Monday September 25th we will be visited by a group called Zeeko who specialise in providing internet safety seminars to children, parents and teachers.  They will visit 1st to 6th Classes during the day and present age appropriate workshops covering topics such as cyberbullying, online gaming, stranger danger, media/screen time and much more.  They will meet with teachers after school advising on how best to deal with issues that arise in the classroom.  Then at 7pm they will hold a meeting with parents in the school. Hopefully many of you will be able to attend.  See flyer.

We went on a mini-beast hunt in the school grounds.
