Our School Garden.

Under the guidance of Mrs Stone, our school have been working on our school garden since 2009. We started off wanting to do something with a waste space in our school.
The space was cleared and prepared, and now every class has their own planting box to take care of during the year.


Since then, through lots of hard work, we have made a beautiful garden. We now use the garden for planting, growing, learning and having fun. We had Diarmuid Gavin came to officially open our school garden and we all had a fanastic day.

Have a look at these before and after pictures to see just how much work we've done.

 

Celebrity Visitors

This year we had visits from some famous Irish people.

This year our school participated in the One Book One Community Project. Pupils and families from a number of schools around Bray all read the same book, Wilderness by Roddy Doyle. They studied it in class and discussed it at home. To celebrate the success of the Project, Davie Foley arranged for the author, Roddy Doyle, to visit the schools and answer questions about his books and his life as an author. It was a very interesting visit, enjoyed by all.

 We also had a visit from Diarmuid Gavin to officially open our school garden. As we had worked so hard it was very important to have a special garden opening ceremony. Diarmuid Gavin is the spokesman for the Myasthenia Gravis Ireland organsation. We held a non-uniform day to raise money for the organisation and they donated daffodil bulbs which we all planted.
At our opening ceremony we presented a cheque to Diarmuid for the money we fundraised.
He planted a tree, and we all had a wonderful day.
