Ransboro National School, Sligo

Last week we went on a minibeast hunt.  We followed the Conservation Code:

• Search care f u l l y
• Handle animals with care
• Replace stones and logs
• Observe, draw and re c o rd if possible, rather than handling
• Return animals to habitats as soon as possible

We were invited to a photo shoot in the Sligo Education Centre.

Only four children could go so we picked two girls and two boys out of a hat. We had to bring our art project with us.

The photographer’s name was Bernie, we had great fun trying to get good shots of our sculptures.  There were five other schools there too.  We looked at their projects and we thought that they were amazing.

While we were there we attended a clay workshop and we made mugs.  Then we had a fabric workshop and we made a  fabric painting.  We had lots of fun.  When we came back to school we told our class all about it.

Our school has just finished creating a cookbook. It has all sorts of recipes in it – starters, main courses, desserts and cakes and breads. The pupils designed pictures for a competition to illustrate the cookbook. One picture was chosen for the cover of the cookbook. It was designed by Ciara H in 5th class. There are more illustrations inside the cookbook.

On Friday June 24th at 6.30pm, the cookbook will be launched in the school halla. The Cookbook costs €10 and will be available to buy on the night. The proceeds from the sale of the cookbook go towards the school funds. There will be samples of some of the recipes from the cookbook on the night. If you cannot make it on Friday night, money can be sent to the school secretary, Mrs. Hampson.

We would like to thank Mrs. Hampson and Mrs. Mc Veigh for putting the cookbook together.

Also on Friday night, there will be a display of other work and projects completed by classes during the year. We hope to see as many people as possible on the night.
