This year we continue our theme Litter and Waste and Global Citizenship. We are recycling batteries for Weee Ireland and print cartridges for infotone.ie. By doing so , we are helping the environment and also helping the sick children in Crumlin and Laura Lynn. We will get our shoe boxes ready for Team Hope during our Halloween break.
Welcome back everyone to Lismoil N.S. A special warm welcome is extended to our Learning Support teacher Mrs Rose Hannon. We are delighted to have her back in our school. This term has gotten off to a busy start sportswise as hurling has begun with our new coach Proinsias and the senior room took part recently in cross country running . We also hope to have our Gaelic coach back to us within the next week or so.
A great day was enjoyed by all in Galway with a trip to the Aquarium, beach and playground. All the children thoroughly enjoyed our day out especially the beautiful day out on Salthill beach where the children worked hard to dig out a beautiful boat. A stop in Supermacs on the way home left everyone fed and content after a lovely outing in the sunshine.
Great news everyone! As the sun begins to shine more these days, it’s time to get out for more exercise! School coaching in hurling with our trainer Jimmy Donoghue will recommence on Friday 7th April. So get the hurleys and the helmets ready everyone for some more GAA fun!!!
A great day was had by all the children in Lismoil N.S. today March 10th. We held a Bring an
d Buy sale for Bóthar. All children , big and small, have been busy doing a “Spring clean” at home, gathering toys, games, DVDs and books for the sale. This ties in with our Green Schools theme of re-using. The sale took place in the Junior room at 1.30 pm and Daniel our TY student was our sales man for the day! We managed to raise €103 for Bóthar even though items were priced from 5c to €2 only, so everyone managed to go home laden with bargains galore!!! We should be able send a flock of Guinea fowl and a Water Filtration system to our friends in the Developing world and also we can put the remaining €13 into the Trócaire box for our Lenten Campaign. We are well on our way to our next Green flag for Global citizenship !
The feeling of giving is good!!
The Junior Entrepreneur programme is back in full swing in the Senior room and everyone is having a really enjoyable learning experience. From great ideas, to power point displays no stone has been left unturned. We are now onto our market research. Watch this space for more from our Business people of the future!!!!
