• The Big Dig

  Fri 19 Nov 2021

  The Mobile Outdoor Archaeological Museum - THE BIG DIG, came to our school, on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th November to work with the third classes.
   

  The Big Dig is an interactive archaeological excavation which offers a hands-on experience, giving children an opportunity to explore Ireland’s past with the help of a friendly team of qualified archaeologists. The children got the opportunity to experience what it is like to be an archaeologist and to work on a simulated and controlled archaeology dig.

   

  All the children had a fantastic time and learned a lot.

• Green Schools

  Thu 30 Sep 2021

  Our new Green Schools Committee for this year has been formed and meetings will get underway this week. We are working towards our 8th Green Flag and the current theme is Global Citizenship: Marine Environments. Just before lockdown we asked that all the pupils and staff use a reusable water bottle in a bid to make PJPs a single-use-plastic bottle free zone. We would appreciate renewed support with this initiative. Pupils are also reminded to take all their lunch rubbish home with them so it can be disposed of in the correct bins. Keep an eye out on our school website for further updates throughout the year!
