Eoghan is the Health and Safety Officer in Coolmore Stud and a parent in the school. We learned that farming is now the most dangerous job  in Ireland. Eoghan taught us about hazzards and what we can do to avoid them. Keeva volunteered to be our safety model and Ms Higgins got “harnessed up” and “locked on” to the projector. Eoghan showed us a video about being safe in the farm yard, especially when slurry is being agitated. Thanks to Eoghan for visiting and teaching us to be safer.

The day the photograph was taken some of the children  had their faces painted for the Christmas Concert – don’t they look funny?

  • In First Class the pupils made flowers with their grandparents photograph in the centre of them.  The children also made certificates and wrote poems to give to their grandparents.  The pupils created booklets in which they had lots of questions about school life and family life years ago and how it differs to now.  On the back of the booklet each child and grandparent drew their hand – this was a lovely memento of the day.
  • In Sixth Class we the pupils were delighted with the opportunity to show our grandparents how much they mean to us.  We loved showing them around our classroom and it was fun to see them sitting at our desks – They didn’t get any homework though.  We presented them with a special poem and shared our favourite memories of them.

Following this there were light refreshments in the hall.

 

We would like to thank all our grandparents for taking time to come out and join us – we loved having you!

 

Below are some of the photographs taken on the day.
