3rd class were very lucky recently to have a hugely important visit from Kieran and Lee from our local Fire Station. They spoke to the girls about fire safety in their homes and the importance of all households checking their smoke alarms each week on 'Testing Tuesday!' 💨💨
They displayed and demonstrated how the equipment works as well as describing their routine for getting in to uniform when the call comes in 🔔. They gave the girls an idea of 'A day in the life of a firefighter" and had plenty of fire safety tips to share. All inquisitive questions were answered and some girls then shared that they would love to take on the role of firefighter when they grow up! 👩🏼🚒👩🏾🚒👩🏻🚒👏 👏👏
Thank you so much for the visit!
From 3rd class!

The sun shone and the girls played progressively better as the day went on, putting in an excellent display of skill and talent.

Thanks to Carrig NS, Nenagh Gaelscoil and to Patsy Farrell of Nenagh Warriors Basketball Club for a great day out. 😎🏀😁

👭 On Tuesday we celebrated International Women's Day. 👭 #breakthebias2022
Before talking about the topic, 6th class were asked to draw a number of occupations on a piece of paper. We then divided them into 2 groups, based on gender. A discussion followed on stereotypes and bias. It's great to see that they have broken the bias already! 🙌
After looking at a variety of national and international inspirational women, they then put their sketchnoting skills to work and created an A4 piece on a chosen woman. 😊
