RSA Talk

  

Anne Patten gave us a talk on March 28th about safety on our roads. She explained the importance of wearing a high Vis jacket when out walking, always to go with an adult and only cross on a straight road with no traffic approaching.

She also explained the safety procedures when cycling, to check tyres, brakes and to make sure your helmet is fitted properly.

 

Irish Dance

For Seachtaine na Gaeilge Ms. O’ Beirne showed the class the steps to two irish dances, An Dreolín and Ballaí Luimnigh.

Some of the girls also attend Irish Dance classes locally and showed us a reel and a jig.

  

All Ireland Basketball Cup

On March 15th Ciarraí (our past pupil) and Holly joined us with their winning cups and medals. They both attend Castlerea Community School and they were very lucky in February when they won the U.16 Basketball League Title. In March they went on to win the Cup Final.

A hugh congratulations to the girls, their team and management on the great wins.

 

  

Super Troopers in Cahill’s Super Valu.

On Monday March 13th, we got the opportunity to meet with Niamh Arthurs, a nutrionist. Firstly she explained the Food Pyramid to everyone. The class got to taste samples of plenty of healthy foods. They tasted blueberries, avocados, spelt and currant bread, smoked salmon and chicken tikka, almond and soya milk.

This was a very enjoyable trip for all. We would like to thank all the staff in Super Valu, Niamh from Biabites and Super Troopers.

 

  

    

     

   

   

  

  

 

A walk around Castlerea.

On Monday last, March 13th 2017 we took a walking Trail around the Suck Valley Way in Castlerea.

We had an organised visit to Super Valu. As it was a super day we made the most of the good weather and got some exercise in before that.
