Green Flag

The weather was against us on Thursday, June 8th as we attempted to raise our third Green Flag. The flag was for the 'Water' theme and there was no shortage of the stuff falling on our heads. Cormac Boylan, the youngest member of the Green Schools committee did the honours. Well done to Mrs O'Dea and the committee for all their hard work again this year.

3rd and 4th Class Maths Games

3rd and 4th class worked together in teams to create their own Maths games.  When they had them completed, they got to try out their friends games too. Great fun was had. Well done 3rd and 4th class!

Garden Makeover

Miss Quirke and her band of enthusiastic helpers have been hard at work recently brightening up our school garden. It's not quite finished yet but I'm sure you'll agree that it is coming along nicely.

Proving that we practice what we preach when it comes to conserving water, our new water butt helps us to keep our flower and vegetable crops watered at no extra cost to the environment. Thanks to Mickey Kavanagh for installing it for us.

Bee Movie

This little girl exhausted herself in trying to escape the Senior Room on Monday (and who could blame her?). She was on death's door but a little drink of sugar solution perked her right up and soon she was off pollinating flowers again. She never took down her homework though....

Green Schools Flag Award

We recently received the wonderful news that Our Lady's N.S. had earned our third Green Flag. This award was in recognition of our work  on the theme of Water. Green Schools Chairperson, Mrs. O'Dea accompanied by three Committee members went to Hotel Kilkenny on May 24th to accept the flag on our behalf. Well done to everyone on their hard work and especially to the Committee for leading the charge.
