Green Schools Week & Loving Our Locality! JoyInJune 2020!
Continuing our theme of JoyInJune this week we are holding a remote Green Schools Week. Each day we will be providing fun activities that celebrate our proud Green School status.
We are lucky to have a wonderful Green Schools Committee in the school who have been extremely active and enterprising throughout the year. They have helped make all the children and adults in Ballyadams N.S aware of our current Green School focus of Globalization - Litter & Waste.
The many actions of the Green School Committee assisted by Ms Burke and all the teachers to date have helped all of us be extra aware to play our part in reducing reusing and recycling.
This week all classes will further embrace the importance and relevance of playing our part in the global fight against litter and waste.
This week all children are encouraged to show pride and love of their locality! It is a wonderful thing to appreciate and take pride and joy in where you come from and where you live.
Well done to all our pupils for their superb pictures, designs, recordings and celebrations of all things Green Schools and Loving Your Locality!
Have a look at the imagination and creativity from the boys and girls throughout Green Schools Loving Locality Week!

Halloween Parade October 2019
On Friday the 25th October our boys and girls embraced the Halloween spirit and came to school in a variety of colorful and bone chillingly creative costumes. Due to the heavy rain we were compelled to adapt our Halloween plans. While the Halloween walk did not take place our ghouls, goblins, princesses, fortune tellers, skeletons and multitude of Halloween characters would not be deterred. We hosted a memorable Halloween Parade in Ballyadams N.S. The children marched in all their Halloween finery around our PE Hall where they were warmly received and applauded by parents and visitors on the day. Special word of thanks to all families and children for seizing the Halloween spirit and making the Parade so memorable for the children. Thanks to our Parents Council for providing refreshments and treats to all on the day.
