We were delighted to welcome Ms.Helena McDonagh back to St.Attracta’s on Friday evening last to read her latest book to the children from Junior/Senior Infants and First Class.’Pete and Tweet to the Rescue’ is Helena’s second book since retiring as a teacher here in St.Attracta’s. All the children really enjoyed the story and of course Helena reading it to them.
We would like to thank Helena sincerely for taking the opportunity to visit and wish her every success with her latest book.

The Garden School Visit St.Attracta’s
On Friday last Ciarán and Hannah Burke of the garden school (www.thegardenschool.ie) visited First and Second classes where they presented workshops on planting, seeds and germination. The classes learned how to make pots out of recycled newspapers,filling it with organic peat free compost and sowing a seed.
Ciarán introduced his friend Doo Doo the Scoodoo who told the children about how a seed grows. It really was lots of fun and helped to bring an important message to the children about caring for the planet.
We really appreciate Ciarán and Hannah taking the time to visit and we look forward to seeing more Scoodoos in our school grounds in the coming weeks!
