We were delighted to receive our new Thermomix machine which was delivered to us by Piotr & Julia recently. We held a Thermomix demonstration evening and as the event was so well attended my our many families and friends, we were approved a brand new Thermomix TM6 machine. We are grateful to all who made such an effort to come to the cooking demonstration. We will look forward to using this in our kitchen and are happy to be part of the schools program.
Yesterday we were delighted to complete our Swift Bird Boxes Project. Our bird boxes were generously sponsored by Sorcha O’ Toole- GRETB Letterfrack. We had fantastic guidance from Swift Conservation Ireland expert, Lynda Huxley and Lynda did an informative talk with the whole school. Thanks to Cleggan Tidy Towns who also kindly sponsored the cost of the cherry picker. Special thanks to Claude Reichard for being a driving force behind this project and we are very grateful to him for his wonderful organisation and co-ordination. We look forward to welcoming the swift birds to Claddaghduff N.S! #greenschools
