Senior School Tour 2018

15/6/2018

We had a fantastic day in Bunratty Castle this year! 2nd-6th classes hopped on the bus early in the morning and drove all the way to county Clare. At Bunratty, we got a tour of the castle itself, through dungeons and great halls and ancient bedrooms, right up to the towers at the top! In the folk park we split into groups and visited all of the little houses and shops (we especially loved the sweet shop!). We also got to see loads of animals - and even a cow being milked! There was time for a visit to the playground, the fairy village and a few rolls down a big hill! It was a brilliant day!

A Little Birdie Told Me...

Mrs Garvey found a little bird outside her door. We think he was stunned, so she scooped him up and we put him outside somewhere safe, so he could recover. When we checked on him later, he had flown away!

Gordon Darcy Visit

Today we had a visit from environmentalist and artist, Gordon Darcy. He did nature drawing workshops with all pupils in the school, starting with the junior classes who drew ladybirds, fish and snails!
Picture
After break, the senior classes went on a field trip to Ross Abbey to look at the natural environment around the friary. They were also lucky enough to see a fox and a hare in the fields! When they came back they also had an art workshop, and drew some of the things they had seen on their excursion!

Our Waterways

8/6/2018

We were delighted to have Catherine Seale and Mick Kane, Galway and Mayo Community Water Officers, and Philip White, a local angler, visit our school today. We had a great presentation about our local water catchement area, local rivers and lakes, and even local holy wells! We also talked about some of the wildlife - aquatic, ground-dwelling, insect and bird - that we might see in our area. We had a discussion about the problems humans can generate, like having farm animals in local streams, pollution, and plastic and litter issues. We saw samples of some plastics that were washed up on nearby beaches, as well as examples of shells and fly fishing lures.

While the junior classes were having a talk with Catherine, the senior classes took a walk down to the old bog road - Sandybanks Lane - and Mick and Phil showed us how they do kick samples to look at the quality of local water. We saw real shrimp, snails, fish, bugs and even a leech! We also looked at some lichens, algae and plants and trees that grow near the stream, and that can tell us about the health of our environment.

We loved our visit, and can't wait to do more research and trips around local waterways!
