Kathryn McCabe kindly donated some seed bombs to the school. These are little pods that each contain native wildflower seeds. Each child got to plant one in the garden bed. Hopefully they will all grow and we will have a beautiful wildflower garden in the school.

Microbit 2025: This year our senior room spent some time learning how to code using a Microbit. We had to work on a project of our choice to help solve a real life problem. We worked as a team and came with the idea of a MicroFIT. Our project helped people with their health and wellbeing, You press a button and the MicroFIT displays a random activity e.g. jumping jacks, mountain climbers. We then went to Edgeworthstown to a Microsoft DreamSpace competition where we won a prize. We had a fantastic time.
