On the 29th June we went on our school tour to Athlone Baysports. We went canoeing and we made our own rafts. We went on a speed boat and a water trampoline. We make a tent and toasted marshmallows over a camp fire. We competed in an obstacle course and had go-cart races. It was a great school tour.
Unfortunately our sports day this year had to be cancelled midway through because of the bad weather. We did complete our obstacle course!!!!
There were great celebrations in St. Ronan's National School on Tuesday 21st June as the school hoisted its first Green Flag. Pupils, teachers, parents, grandparents, public representatives and members of the local community gathered at the school for the occasion. The Green School Committee spoke of the importance of the Green School Campaign in the life of the school and the work that had been done. The children from the Junior Room performed the play "The Litter Muncher" while the children from the Senior Room played the tin whistle. Following the speeches there was great excitement as the Green Flag was raised. The fun continued with bouncy castles and a visit from an ice-cream van. The following day we travelled to Strandhill to meet Cian Egan of Westlife. He congratulated the school, posed for photographs and signed autographs.
