We began planting lettuce, carrots and spinnach seeds last week. These will be kept indoors until it is mild enough to move outdoors.We have already planted potatoes and strawberry plants the previous week.

Last week marked Tree Week and Ms Curley organised the delivery of some ash plants to the school. The photos show some of the children planting the trees.

The girls won the Bsketball Blitz on Tuesday March 2nd last. They played some very close games in the lead-in to the final. They met Clogherincoe in the final and won! Well done to the girls, their coach, Ms Curley and their drivers/supporters. Thanks also to Mr Joe O' Connor for organising the blitz.

Congratulations to CG who won a farm safety slogan competition recently. C was presented with her certificate and prize in Kildare Education Centre. Her slogan was " When children are on the farm, supervision does no harm" and it was accompanied by a wonderfully detailed picture.
