Middle Room – Stay Safe, Stay Clear ESB Art Competition – May 2023
At the end of May, the children in the Middle Room entered an ESB Networks “Stay Safe, Stay Clear” primary school competition. They all learnt about the six safety tips, along with a presentation. They all sang along to the “Stay Safe, Stay Clear” song. They each had to pick a safety tip of their choice and draw a picture depicting their choice from the six safety tips. The competition is a fun, exciting and educational way to discover the benefits of electricity while also learning how to be safe around it. Children showed their artistic skills and creativity, while also learning about being safe around electricity. We took some photos of the children with their projects, before sending them off to the judging panel in Dublin. Fingers crossed! Either way, this was a fun way for the children to learn about ESB safety.

Farm Safety Talk – March 2023
The Junior and Middle Room had a visit from a member of the Agri Aware team in March, discussing safety on the farm. The Parent’s Association organised the visit, along with various tractors and combine harvesters from the local farmers, where children got up close with the various farm machinery, while discussing the dangers of being on the farm.
