Our Inclusion Tree

We have worked hard this year and last year in our school, towards achieving the Yellow Flag for inclusion in our school. Everyone in our school is unique and different and come from various backgrounds, but we know that everyone is included and our differences are accepted and celebrated! This is our school Inclusion tree that symbolises that uniqueness and celebrates our individuality! All of the children in our school stamped their fingerprint on the tree to make the leaves!

Traveller Culture Awareness

This week the children in Second Class were very lucky to learn about the traveller culture and traditions, through the expertise and experience of Bridget and Kathleen from the Galway Traveller Movement. The children learned about how travellers lived in the past and how they made a living through working as tin smiths. The children had the chance to examine some of their handiwork and the various markings on the tin buckets. The children also learned about the connection between travelers and horses. The ladies also taught the children some words from the Cant language!
