Today the 6th class made a trip to the Barrack Stream in Michael Martin’s garden to learn about the importance of good quality water in our rivers and streams. The mentors were Michael and Anne from the Local Authority Waters Programme. Everyone was amazed and excited by the amount of life discovered and identified lying just below the bed of the stream. And, as a bonus, one boy caught a pinkeen.

Then it was to Breda’s for lunch in her lovely garden.

In support of the Ukraine disaster Ballon, School held a cake sale fundraiser. How one sick man and his advisors could wreak such havoc when most of the world condemns what they are doing is a mystery.

It just takes one bad apple in the barrel but there is more good in the world than bad and BallonSchool is an example.
