School Tour 2018 - Shannon River Adventure Centre!

For our school tour this year, our class, along with the 3rd and 4th class made the long bus journey to Roosky, Co. Roscommon to go to the Shannon River Adventure Centre on Thursday May 31st. Across the day, we took part in a number of fantastic activities including rock-wall climbing, archery, kayaking & paddleboarding, and jumping down a mudslide! We had a fantastic day that was enjoyed by all.

Bye for now, Newpark!

One or two more interesting events to catch you all up on before school ends for the summer next week and our 6th class leave us for the bright, green pastures of secondary school!
The first to update you on is the conclusion of our project with Newpark Care Home, which culminated in a showcase in the home back in May.
The staff played a video for us which showcased our pupils being interviewed about the project and their experiences, as well as a slideshow of images from across all the visits. We then had a brief final chat with the residents to say our goodbyes before performing a song which the residents joined in on.
The video showcased the excellent speaking abilities of our class and the great learning they have gained from being a part of this project.
