Well done to our two teams from 6th Class who came 1st and 2nd in Coláiste Choilm’s Tallest Tower STEM challenge.  Competing against over forty teams from fifteen local schools, our teams managed to take the top prizes.  They worked hard over the past few weeks using their STEM skills to improve their designs.  All their hard work certainly paid off.

Our teams have performed well so far this year.

Our girls played three games, winning two of them. If results go their way in other matches next week they could be in a final.

Our boys have reached the semi-final where they play Cappagh in Ballycommon on Monday 12th at 12 midday.

This week we received news that we have been selected to be part of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Programme. More information can be seen about this
here.

We don’t have any indication of a timeframe of when work begins or ends, but hopefully when it’s complete the traffic situation in the mornings and especially in the evenings will be easier and safer for everyone.

Our three Cairdeas classes have enjoyed two sound bath workshops in recent weeks.  Sound baths use gentle sounds to help children relax and feel settled. They all enjoyed the experience.

We were delighted to welcome Zoe from Music generation back again this year. Infants to 3rd Classes are taking part in general music and singing classes while 4th, 5th & 6th are continuing violin lessons.

Our Active School and our Green School committees have been set up for the year ahead. This year we are aiming to get our 3rd active flag while we begin a two year journey for our 10th green flag in the area of global citizenship, food and biodiversity.

Our active committee are organising a Run around Europe which is generating lots of excitement already.

The Cairdeas classes, led the school in planting daffodil bulbs around the school. We should see the results of their hard work in spring.

We had a very special delivery this week.  Jean Brady from Offaly Sports Partnership and Donagh from Tullamore Cycle Centre delivered new bikes and helmets for the Cairdeas children.
Over the coming weeks, an instructor will make regular visits to our school to teach the children to use these bikes. The bikes will be available to use in our school for the next couple of years.
