Rutland Goes Pink

88C76AA1-0549-453B-9145-EDCDF0C471EC_1_105_c Pink Day

Our fabulous school turned pink recently to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer.

We raised over €6,000 euros for Breast Cancer Ireland as the children sang their hearts out for the day during a Karaoke Singathon.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped make the day such a wonderful occasion in the school.

To all the parents and local community who donated fantastic prizes we are incredibly grateful.

To the parents association who helped decorate the school and turn us pink for the day, we would be lost without you.

Most importantly to the amazing pupils who dressed in pink, sang their hearts out and helped raise over an incredible €6,300 euro for Breast Cancer – THANK YOU SO MUCH.

It was a day filled with smiles & songs, happiness and hope.

Thank you to everyone involved.

4th Class Volcanoes

IMG_1767 IMG_1768 IMG_1766 IMG_1765 IMG_1764 IMG_1763 IMG_17604th Class were learning about igneous rocks so decided to have a look at how igneous rocks are formed!

First we made our own mountain using flour, water and salt. Then we made our mountains turn into volcanoes by creating an explosion!

We used baking soda, washing liquid and vinegar to create our eruption.

We watched the lava explode down the volcano and this lava will harden to form igneous rocks. It was great fun.

3rd Class Trip to Waterways Ireland

3rd Class on tour Bolands Mills Godfrey Learning about locks Learning all about Waterways Temuulen at the Lock Waterways Ireland Tour3rd Class went on a great trip to Waterways Ireland.
