Well done to Siobhán Maguire, Mark Fahy, Orlagh Leech, Kevin Cassidy, Megan Donohoe and Aoife Maguire who received 100% Attendance Certificates for full attendance this year.  What an achievement!

What a brilliant day was had by the boys and girls in Mrs Doherty's Classroom today on their end of year school trip.  

First stop was Johnny Rocko's Adventure Centre in Irvinestown where the children had great fun bowling, go-karting and playing in the soft adventure area, followed by a yummy lunch in the Diner. 

Then it was off to Tickety Moo Farm where we were brought on a guided tour of the robotic milkers and viewing gallery to see the lovely Jersey Cows being milked.  It was very interesting to learn about how the cows are milked 24/7 'at their convenience' by the robotic machines.  We also got to see some new born calves and lambs on the front lawn.  After letting off more steam on the bouncy castles we got to taste their homemade Tickety Moo ice-cream with lots of flavours to choose from! 

The weather was perfect, the bus trip was fun and thank you to Mrs Bogue and Mrs McHugh for coming with us.  We think they enjoyed it too!

National Bike Week 2015 will take place from 13th to 21st June.  To coincide with this and as part of raising awareness and increasing road safety, the pupils in 5th/6th Classes took part in 'Bikeability' Training Level 1 this afternoon.  

All pupils were encouraged to wear helmets and taught the importance of signalling and taking care on the road.  They also had a slow bike race and had to cycle through cones and practise an emergency stop.  

The training was organised by Cavan Sports Partnership and supported by Cavan County Council.

It proved to be another successful action-packed trip when 2nd to 6th Classes opted to return to Corralea Activity Centre in Belcoo.  There was lots to do from climbing, orienteering, archery and many water sports.

Here are some children's comments about their day:

"I loved the kayaking.  I wasn't afraid even though we went out far."  (George Plunkett)

"The team leaders were very kind and helpful.  We learned a lot from them."  (Niamh Baugh)

"The highlight for me was the orienteering because it was fun running through the forest."  (Ethan Edwards)

"My favourite thing was the water trampoline and slide.  It was good craic going down the slide and jumping off the trampoline into the water."  (Néamh McGovern)

Congratulations to Kevin Cassidy, 3rd Class, who received an award at the National Student Poetry Competition for his wonderful poem entitled 'Snow'.  It was a huge honour for the school when Kevin was presented with his award by Heather Humphreys, Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht.
