Safer Internet Day

 

Tuesday February 8th is Internet Safety Day.

We have been doing lots of activities about how to stay safe while online.

There are lots of good ideas on the Webwise website which can be found at this link:  Webwise Safer Internet Day

All classes drew some very creative posters to raise awareness of internet safety. Our student council played a big part in promoting the day. Well done everyone!

 

 

 


 

St. Brigid’s Day

We celebrated St. Brigid’s Day by making a variety of St. Brigid’s crosses throughout the school.

The senior classes joined our friends from Geashill Tidy Towns and some other community groups to help plant a new lime tree in the village in honour of St. Brigid.

They also took the opportunity to admire their beautiful St. Brigid art work which is on display in the village phone box.

Christmas in Geashill!

There’s been a great Christmas spirit around the school in December.  Lots of lovely Christmas art has been displayed while all classes have been preparing Christmas videos to send home to parents.

There was great excitement in all the classrooms as they watched the Helix online panto, Little Red Riding Hood.

Santa Claus paid a flying visit to all the classes and brought Christmas annuals for everyone.

We were delighted to attend the switching on of the Christmas tree lights and the unveiling of the crib in the village green on Thursday.  We got into the festive spirit by singing Away in a Manger and Jingle Bells.

 


 

4th Class French Twinning Video Call

Our 4th Class had a video call with our friends in Jaux school as part of our local twinning project. Both Ms. Loquet’s and Mrs. Hyland’s classes were delighted to say hello to each other and see each other. Both classes sang some Christmas songs and have agreed to become pen pals in the new year.  Thanks to the Ballinagar, Geashill and Ballycommon Twinning Committee for helping us with this.


 

Geashill wins Ireland’s Tidiest Village Award!

There was a great sense of happiness and pride all around the village on Friday when Geashill was named Ireland’s Tidiest Village at the annual Supervalu Tidy Towns awards ceremony. Everyone in the school sends our congratulations to the Geashill Tidy Towns Committee as well as to the dedicated team of volunteers.

A special mention to Eddie Kelly, our school caretaker, for his trojan work all around the village.
