 Acres CP school Visit
ACRES is Ireland's new agri-environment climate scheme under Ireland's CAP Strategic Plan. This new agri-environment scheme is a farmer-friendly scheme to help address biodiversity decline while delivering an income support for up to 50,000 farm families in Ireland. Many thanks to Project Officers Shane and Keith who visited the school on Monday 13th February to present a workshop on ‘How we can support Biodiversity’ to the senior classes. ACRES Visit On Monday 12th of February 4th, 5th & 6th classes had a visit from Keith & Shane from Acres (Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme). Shane spoke to us about Biodiversity, and he also taught us how we can help wildlife by putting up birdfeeders and not cutting the hedgerows down. There were bird activity sheets, word search and habitat colouring sheets as well as lots of learning about biodiversity, wildlife and the different habitats of birds and animals. We also played a good web game that we all really enjoyed. I hope that Acres will come back next year! By: Oisín Collins 5th Class Keith and Shane from Acres came to visit 4th 5th & 6th classes to tell us a little bit about biodiversity and nature. First, they told us what biodiversity is. Then they told us what ACRES does to help people and animals. ACRES tries to get farmers to work with them to protect nature and wildlife. After the presentation we went outside and played the ‘animal game’. It was very enjoyable. By Evan Wherrett, 6th Class  Today is Safer Internet Day! This EU-wide initiative aims to raise awareness of a safer internet for all users, especially children and young people. Children are increasingly accessing the internet and digital technologies from a younger age, and the online world is very much a part of their lives. While there are many benefits to using the internet and digital media, there are also many challenges facing children and their families. We would like to take this opportunity to encourage parents to consider their children’s internet usage, and how they too can support their children to have a safe and positive experience online. Webwise.ie is a valuable website that aims to provide parents with resources, information, and advice on apps, games, and topics like gaming, consent, image-sharing, cyberbullying, screen time, and more. Information can be accessed at the following link https://www.webwise.ie/parents/ The school will be helping to promote this topic over the coming weeks but having regular open conversations is one of the most effective ways of supporting your child online and I would urge parents and guardians to be conscious of their child’s internet usage.  |
