The Middle Room studied all about electricity and the importance of being safe around electricity. So, I entered the children into the “Stay Safe, Stay Clear” programme that educates children about how to stay safe when they are playing outdoors near electricity poles and overhead wires.

The Stay Safe, Stay Clear poster competition asked students to create a poster sharing what they have learned about staying safe around electricity, demonstrating their knowledge of the ESB Networks’ 6 safety tips. What superb artwork created by the children, as demonstrated below.

The Middle Room participated in an Art competition, called Someone Like Me which promotes disability awareness. Through a range of resources and activities, the children studied all about people and children that have different abilities. The children expressed what they had studied, through the medium of art by creating an art piece, showing that we are all similar, regardless of the disability.

This competition opened their eyes to see beyond the surface and realise our similarities and unique differences. It serves as a tool for children to learn and engage in heartfelt conversations, sparking curiosity and empathy. Entries submitted, so here is a snapshot of the entries from the Middle Room. At the end of the day, it’s all about learning, and not about a winner. They all did fabulous work and should be so proud of themselves.
