Special Visitor during Engineers Week!

This week we have been celebrating Engineering Week in 3rd and 4th class. We were very fortunate to have an engineer visit all our classes to talk to us about his area of expertise.
We learned SO much from him and we can definitely say that this week has heightened both our awareness, along with our interest in the world of engineering. It certainly is a career path that is now on many of our minds!
We would like to say a special thanks to the brilliant engineer who gave up his valuable time in order to visit us. Thank you Donal!

The children showed fantastic creativity and focus, designing stunning centrepieces to brighten up their kitchen tables over the holidays. Well done to everyone for their hard work and festive flair!

Ten Facts about Birch Trees Birch trees are found in the northern half of the world. They grow in areas with cool to cold weather. The trees called birches have long been known for their beautiful bark. N ative Americans used birch bark to make canoes, tepees, and moccasins. Today people use birch wood to make furniture, flooring, and plywood. The bark of all birches is characteristically marked with long, horizontal lenticels, and often separates into thin, papery plates, especially upon the paper birch. Birch trees have simple leaves with toothed edges called margins. They often appear in pairs, but these pairs are really borne on spur-like, two-leaved, lateral branchlets. It is an elegant deciduous tree, with arching branches that droop gracefully towards the ground. It usually grows to about 15-20 metres high. The catkin...
