May is a very special month for the Church as we remember Mary, the Mother of Jesus. This morning the sixth classes had a lovely prayer service celebrating Mary’s month.
A lovely and enthusiastic author and illustrator came to the school today to have a chat with the boys. Alan Nolan wrote many books and illustrated his own work. He gave a short workshop on drawing Dracula, which is a character in one of his new upcoming books. The boys really enjoyed it and we're captivated by his enthusiasm.
We were very lucky to have a wonderful learning experience in the ARC today. The Aquaculture Remote Classroom (ARC) is a mobile classroom which has been designed to raise young people’s awareness of aquaculture. Bord Iascaigh Mhara has developed the ARC as part of a European wide campaign called #FarmedintheEU. We explored Aquaculture; Geographic and Environmental influences; Socio-economic factors; Nutritional Health and finished off with the big ARC Quiz. Lots of fun and learning in the ARC today!
