November Species of the Month
During the month of November we studied and observed birds. Our noticeboard was full of information about birds, bird jokes and the many proverbs associated with them.
We admired a swallows nest which had 2 eggs still in it and were in awe at many more nests we found and admired how well they were constructed.
We held a bird quiz where we had to identify various types of birds and the winning class(Miss Mc Auliffe's 5th) won a bird feeder for outside their room. They now have the responsibility of filling the feeder with nuts on a regular basis and take note of any winged visitors to our school.
Bird houses will be erected soon around the school to help the birds through the cold winter months. These not only help to make our school more bird friendly but also help our mission to conserve the biodiversity around our school,therefore killing two birds with the one stone!!!

Biodiversity Green Flag Initiative
Pupils in Cloghroe N.S. are very busy working towards our fifth Green Flag, which is based on the theme of biodiversity. Each month pupils will explore a new topic which links into our theme of biodiversity.
Spooky Stroll to School
Pupils participated in a “spooky stroll to school”. We are currently revising one of our previous Green Flags which was based on the theme of travel. The spooky stroll was a huge success with over 500 pupils walking to school in Halloween costumes! Stay tuned for more photos....
