🏖 Big Beach Clean 🏖

Fri 17 Sep 2021

Ms. Costello's class was selected to represent the school as part of the ‘Big Beach Clean’ on Friday 17th September. Beach Clean is a Clean Coasts initiative.

The class walked to Malahide Beach where they were met by Sinead McCoy, from the Environmental Education Unit with An Taisce and given beach clean up equipment.

The class got straight to work finding all types of litter including plastic cups, bottles, sunglasses and even a bunch of keys!

The highlight of the day for the class was certainly being filmed by RTÉ's News 2 Day. Some of the class even got to be interviewed. You can watch the episode online here:

The class were delighted to have this opportunity to learn more about marine litter and the part we can all play in protecting our environment.

Our 5th classes have begun a six-week programme with the Irish Centre for Cycling. The children will be completing a number of road safety awareness and practical skills lessons over the coming weeks. Children can bring their own helmets on the days of their lessons (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). Well Done to all the boys and girls taking part, especially those who are learning to cycle for the very first time!

Ms. Markey's Mile

Fri 16 Apr 2021

Ms. Markey's Mile

By Jamie Fitzpatrick

Ms. Markey introduced the mile because there are no sports on at the moment. It is a great way to get exercise and keep a distance at the same time. A group of boys from Ms. Bradshaw’s 6th class went over to Sonesta where it would take place a week a before to measure out a mile. One lap around Sonesta was 0.8 kilometres and a mile is 1.6 kilometres so you would have to run around Sonesta twice. The aim of it was to have one mile every month and to try and beat your time each month. All the classes had been training for the mile for P.E with their own classes. When the day came around, everyone was ready and excited. The route you had to run was marked out very clearly and it was easy to know which way to go. Overall, everyone enjoyed it and will be looking forward to the next one every month.
