To mark National Biodiversity Week, 19th-28th of May, education ecologist Billy Flynn from Waterways Ireland brought the children on a walk along the canal in Ballyconnell to explore living things. The focus was on discovery learning. The children learned to identify some flowers found on the banks of the canal. They also became familiar with some birdsongs and calls and worked together to identify aquatic creatures.

The children from the Senior classes recently visited Cavan County Museum in Ballyjamesduff to take part in the World War One Trench Experience. Cavan County Museum is now home to the largest outdoor replica trench open to the public in Ireland and the UK. The trench, built to the specifications and manuals of the Irish Guards and used by the Royal Irish Fusiliers at the Battle of the Somme 1916 is over 350m long and includes frontline, communication and support trenches. Over 6000 sand bags were used in its construction.
The children really enjoyed taking a trip back in time!
