To celebrate St. Patrick’s day this year your child can wear green to school on Friday March 15th. €1 per child can be paid to their teacher to help with a little surprise that the parents are organising for Easter.

What a wonderful success World book day was. The children brightened up Robertstown that morning walking from the village to the school dressed as their favourite character from their favourite book! Anybody passing Robertstown that morning must have thought they had landed in a magical world filled with fairies, witches, incredible hulks, not to mention Harry Potter and a book eating boy! Take a look at some of the fabulous photos! A big thank you to the parents association for their help organising the event.

Next Thursday March 14th Robertstown NS will be taking part in an exciting project called ‘Keeping it Green!’ just in time for St.Patrick’s Day. We are very lucky to be given the oppurtunity to work with local artist Beth Murphy who will visit our school for the day and work with 4th, 5th and 6th Class to build a beautiful dome structure out of willow. The structure will be placed at the front of the school for all the community to enjoy and this project will help towards receiving our 5th Green School’s flag for Biodiversity. For more information on the work that Beth does please visit her website. http://www.willowwonder.net

To celebrate World Book Day we are having a fun Walk on Wednesday to school on 6th March 2013.  Children are being asked to either dress up as their favourite character from a book or to bring their favourite book in the walk.  The walk will be from the Hotel @ 8:40pm to the school.  All are welcome!!!
