Even though we are apart, I think it’s important that we stay in touch! I will be making some videos, posting photos and suggesting activities over the next while. I want to keep you up to date on what is happening with your plants and suggest some nature and art tasks for you to do, if you like.

Take a quick tour of our school!.
Our school is great because the outside area is massive and fun to play in! Our school is the best because we do such nice work. We learn how to be kind.
Alanna and Hannah, Junior Infants
We celebrate St Teresa in our school. She helped people and we try to be like her. The teachers are very kind.
Leo and Grace, Senior Infants
I love our school because my friends are all here. The teachers are always friendly and we do lots of weaving.
Alan and Jack, 1st class
Our school is special because it’s very creative. It’s creative because we all get to recycle things when we’re making art so we can have a better environment. Our school is a great place to learn because the teachers are very kind.

Competition time!
The children from 3rd to 6th class have been invited to submit a design for our book swap cover, located out the front of the school. We will announce the winner in a few weeks.
Birdwatching in Kilshanroe
All of the children are observing birds this term. We have bird identification charts on the windows, as well as a tally chart in the older children’s classrooms. We have spotted lots of different types of birds so far, and are keen to attract the birds we have not seen. Many thanks to the parents and guardians who have donated bird food and birdhouses.
Some of the children went to great trouble to paint and decorate birdhouses – Gavin made this one himself and Ava’s is beautifully decorated
Many thanks to the parents and guardians who sent in bird seed, suet balls, feeders and even binoculars! Below is a wonderful book of nature poetry for children.
School polytunnel makeover!
Over the Christmas holidays, the VanStaden family kindly painted our poly tunnel. It is now a beautiful multicoloured structure and a very welcome addition to our fabulous garden. We will grow tomatoes and other Mediterranean herbs and vegetables in it, later in the year. A huge thanks to Henric, Jordan, Kayla and Ruby for their help.
Christmas decoration workshop
The children from 1st to 6th class took part in a Christmas decoration making workshop with Ms Parle. We have hung some of them on our Christmas tree already. We used recycled materials to make them and it was great fun!
Halloween at Scoil San Treasa
The children all made a huge effort with their Hallowe’en costumes and many thanks to the parents for all of their help. In particular, well done to the children who re-used materials to make their costumes.
