St. John’s Ambulance

Recently Brenda Power and her daughter Sara, visited us at the school to talk about the great work of St. John’s Ambulance. Brenda demonstrated many simple first aid procedures and talked about the importance of having training in first aid. As a result of such convincing talks, 7 members of the Senior Room have gone on to join this voluntary group in the past few weeks! We’ll all be in safe hands!

The 4th, 5th and 6th classes have just completed group projects on The Romans. The projects were accompanied by some very fine models of the Coloseum and Roman swords. The pupils used modelling clay and wood for their models.

Special Autumn Day Out
In September this year (2014) we had a really Special Day Out @ Dalgan Park, Navan. The whole school went on a whole-day outing! Our guide was Ger Clarke, who gave us excellent talks as we walked through the woods learning all sorts of interesting things about nature.

Can you remember?…..
Can you name the wasp that lays its eggs on the reverse of an oak leaf?
The wood of which tree is used to make hurleys?
What is the black spot on the sycamore leaf a sign of? How did the dandelion get its name? (dande de leon)

Thank you Mr Donnelly for organising this great day out.
