 Firemen Visit 3rd & 4th Class

Two firemen from Enniscorthy Fire Station came to our school today to visit 3rd and 4th class. We learned what to do in the case of a fire and how to prevent a fire from happening. They shared lots of real life stories with us and gave us loads of tips to keep safe around fire. We even got a checklist to bring home to check our own homes to make sure we’re as safe as we possibly can be!

Following on from the great success of our Funky Kids Christmas Concerts, the pupils received their certificates for their participation in the Workshop. Well done to all involved.

On the 18th of January our school held our green School ‘Day of Action’. As part of our work on the theme ‘Energy’ we had a day of action and we decided to have a ‘Low Energy Day’! So that meant no lights, no interactive whiteboards, no laptops and no energy! We hoped that it would show us how much we depend on energy and electricity and that we should try our best to save energy. Throughout the day, our Green Schools committee acted as monitors checking energy conservation in our classrooms. Everybody made a big effort to have switches and appliances turned off when we weren’t using them. We also kept our windows closed to retain heat and our sensor lights dimmed throughout the day. The teachers also made a huge effort not to use the microwave, the photocopier or printers. We were busy taking energy readings at the start and the end of the day. We were successful with our low energy day using nearly three time less energy than any other day that week. It was a great success well done to all involved!!
