Shared Education Parent Training

Thank you to Paula McTaggart for leading an excellent parent training workshop at St Bernard’s Primary School.  The focus of the workshop was speaking and listening and developing early literacy skills.  The presentation was enthusiastic and highly active!  Thank you to all the parents from across our Shared Education Partnership who attended this shared event.

Community Eco Activity Days 2018

Thank you to all our parents and friends who assisted with our Community Eco Activity Days!  What a busy few days we have had collecting litter from around the Knockbreda campus and planting in our Forest School garden!  Together, we collected 16.65kg of rubbish from the campus site!

Thanks to those parents who were able to help and to contribute resources for our planting activities, it was much appreciated indeed!  Thanks also to the pupil eco committees and staff from Knockbreda Primary School and St Bernard’s Primary School for your support.  What great eco role-models you were for the Nursery children!

Eco Meeting

Thank you to our children, parents and Chairman for attending our Eco Meeting today. 

The children have agreed an Eco-Code song for our Nursery and we have all agreed our actions for the year ahead.  

This year, we will be working on ensuring our school site is litter free, that we are composting our garden waste, turning off the taps to save water, visiting the Forest School once a week (whatever the weather) and looking after the birds in our woodland garden.

What a fun and busy year we have ahead!
