At the time of writing, the rain is pouring down and
it looks very unlike summer weather but hopefully….
The holidays begin on Friday for teachers and pupils
of St. Patrick's alike and we hope everyone has a very
enjoyable and safe summer and all arrive back to school
in September safe and sound and refreshed after a good
break. We feel we deserve it!
Since Christmas we have had a major inspection of every
aspect of school life at St. Patrick's--we received
particular praise from the inspector for the atmosphere
in the school of care for every pupil.
We have taken part in St. Patrick's day parade, Europeade
Festival and also had Confirmation and Communion ceremonies.
On the sports front we have had an excellent year capturing
the Division 1 titles in both hurling and football,

OUR VISIT TO THE LINENHALL
During the year we went to the
Linenhall. On the first occasion we did charcoal drawings
we also saw work of professional artists. Then we had
a go at it ourselves most people did landscape and mountain
drawings some of our drawings were put in an exhibition
but unfortunately none were bought. On the second occasion
we went to an exhibition called 'Food for Thought'.
We saw some brilliant pictures. Some looked tastier
than a Mac Chicken sandwich. Then we had a try ourselves,
and we had to try and make people think of food. In
our case it was difficult to stop thinking about it!
On the two occasions we had great fun. By: Shane Moran and Darragh

OUR VISIT TO DERRINUMERA
We visited Derrinumera recycling
centre to see what happens to our waste. Some things
cost money to recycle! Fridges, freezers, televisions
and computers cost € 10 to recycle. Other large electrical
goods cost €5 to recycle. Small electrical goods
cost €2 to recycle. Tyres €2-€7. All other items are
free. Plastic bottles with HDPE or PE symbols on the
bottom of bottle are recyclable.
There was a Harris Hawk there to help keep away the
rats and mice or they would spread diseases. Mike showed
us the hawk. He wore a leather glove to stop the Harris
Hawk from scratching his hand. The Harris Hawks name
was Waterford. He flew around the dump catching rats
and mice. By
Ronan Sheridan.
