Heritage Project

News Just In! 25/6/2021! We were thrilled to receive recognition today for tied for 2nd place in the Explore Your Local Heritage Awards 2021. Here are representatives from the 3 classes 4th, 5th and 6th who took part in this rewarding project. Well done to all children and teachers involved.

 

Ms Olivia O’Shea’s 4th class took part in the school heritage project with 5th and 6th class. They compiled questionnaires to find out more information about the Blennerville windmill and interviewed either their parents or grandparents. We made our own windmills using recycled materials too. We went on a local trail looking at the windmill, steam train and blennerville Bridge. Mr. Mike O'connor also came in and shared some of his local knowledge on the windmill. We learned so much about our local area, the history of the windmill and really enjoyed taking part in this history project. We were delighted to hear during June that our school came joint second in this Heritage Project competition!

BLENNERVILLE BEARS 🐻
We are commencing a tradition from September 2021 whereby each Junior Infant will get a Blennerville Bear upon starting primary school.
Each child will therefore be connecTED to Blennerville school forever! 😉.
This bear will hopefully be a positive reminder to children of their primary school days for years to come.
Our current Junior Infants & Senior Infants have had a challenging start to primary school due to Covid- 19 and therefore included in this new initiative. 😀🐻

Tralee Imperials Basketball

Thanks so much to John Dowling and David from Tralee Imperials Basketball who is training us during June. Thanks to Ms Dinan for organising this.

Kerry School of Judo

Sincere thanks to Danny Roche of Kerry school of Judo for taking 2 of our classes for training sessions during June 2021. Some children were dying to try the moves and show off their belts. We hope to get Danny back again to train more classes. Thanks Danny!
