School Garden

Our school pond

Our school pond is a man-made pond which was created by Mary Ryan .It was created so we could see the life-cycle of a frog and what it goes through. We have actually spotted frog spawn and hopefully they will turn into graceful hopping little frogs.

Our Garden

Our garden is extravagant and now has its own outdoor classroom, a bug-box, and a bird-box with a camera inside to monitor any bird that nested in it. This couldn’t be possible without the help of our school gardener Mary Ryan and our class teacher Ms Dunne .They have worked worked very hard  and kept our school garden as beautiful and as neat as it possibly can be.

Our Spring Nature Walk

Our spring nature walk was great .We went over the different types of trees and flowers that have grown and blossomed over the years. We knew most of the names of the trees and flowers, but not all of them. We were brought around by Mary Ryan and our class teacher Ms Dunne. 

The Outdoor Classroom

Our school’s interest in nature has grown over the years, starting from our once a year nature walk to our twice a month nature walk which includes looking at thing that have been found in the garden and now we can look at the garden in comfort with our outdoor classroom that we won for entering the Bio-diverse School Garden of the Year. The outdoor classroom includes a table, blackboard and a bench that can seat thirty children.
