2008-2010

Tá an-chuid oibre le déanamh an scoilbhliain seo.

Chun an Bratach Glas a bhuachaint arís, beimid ag plé leis an ábhar taisteal.

This year's theme enables us to study transport patterns.

It is the year 2100, and global warming has being stabilised, but it is still uncomfortably high temperature. The earth is almost constantly being bombarded by bad weather, from typhoons to acid rain. Much of the forest on the planet is destroyed, only small pockets remain, but no move is made to replenish them. As for the animal life, it is depleted dramatically, mostly confined to zoos, small remote areas and in factories (though these genetically engineered meat bags can hardly be called animals any more)...

Seo an Coiste

Ar dtús, cén bhealach a théann páistí ar scoil?

Survey of transport used by children going to school

1: Tagann a lán páistí sa charr

2: Ní thagann páistí ar rothair

3: Is féidir le níos mó páistí siúl, ar a laghad cuid den bhealach

More children could walk, at least some of the way

D'aimsigh an Coiste ceithre áit timpeall na scoile atá gar dúinn agus ciúin

We identified suitable drop-off points

Read the details about our Park and Stride idea

Bhí lá ullmhucháin don Lá Aicsean againn ar an 26ú Meán Fómhair

Chuaigh gach rang amach ar shiúlóidí

The park and stride routes were made clear

Chonaiceamar an abhainn

Chonaiceamar na crainn atá ag fás in aice an chosáin:

An Sceach Gheal

An Fhearnóg

An Cnó Capaill

These are some of the trees we noticed along the pathways

Clic anseo chun níos mó de na crainn san fhómhar a fheiceáil

Seo páistí ó Rang 2 ag glanadh bruscair

ó pháirc an scoile

An mbeidh níos mó páistí ag siúl?

Will we be more inclined to walk?

Seachtain níos déanaí:

Tagann carr go dtí Cnoc Thomáis...

Páistí ó Scoil Raifteirí!

Ag siúl cuid den bhealach

Nach deas an tsiúlóid!

07.10.08:

Lá Mór i Scoil Raifteirí

Seo Eva Gannon, feidhmeannach ag An Taisce, ag labhairt.

She addressed local representatives and the media to launch the Transport Theme

Thaispeáin na daltaí an teachtaireacht tábhachtach seo

The councillors learned about the walking route leading from Knockthomas

Cén chaoi a bhfuil rudaí ag dul?

How has the strategy worked?

Rinneamar suirbhé nua ar 17.10.08

Compare the results of the two surveys:

Níos mó páistí ag rothaíocht: 1 go dtí 5

Níos lú páistí ag teacht sa charr: 88 go dtí 66

Níos lú páistí ag siúl: 25 go dtí 17 ach...

...níos mó páistí ag siúl cuid den bhealach: 56 go dtí 69

Coimeádaigí suas an dea-obair!

Mí na Nollag

Tháinig Eva isteach chun múineadh faoi theitheamh domhanda

All classes from 3rd to 6th learned about global warming

Is léir go bhfuil páistí ag rothaíocht freisin

We're documenting the number cycling to school

Tháinig ochtar ar an rothar ar 26ú Meán Fómhair

16.10.08:

Thosaigh Gerry Butler cúrsa rothaíochta le Rang 6

Céard atá ag tarlú anseo?

Foscadh nua do na rothair!

Thanks to An Taisce for providing the funding, and Eva for giving us the opportunity

18ú Feabhra 2009: Lá Aicsean na Rothar

Seo páistí ó Ranganna 5 agus 6 ag éisteacht le Michael Kilcourse

Labhair sé faoi chúram do rothair:

"If people took simple steps to maintain their bicycles,
there would be fewer visits to my bicycle shop"

Faoi stiúir Gerry Butler...	...bhí scléip ag Rang 6 ar na rothair

Rinne a lán ranganna postaerí deasa

Bhí siad le feiceáil sa halla

Labhair Eva Gannon agus Noel Gibbons faoi shábháilteachas ar an mbóthar

...Bhí lá iontach againn!

Tógadh an pictiúr seo ar mhaidin dheas i Mí Bealtaine

11.05.09

A new initiative!

Can our schoolchildren walk all the way all around Ireland?

We're very thankful to An Taisce for the cameras and the lovely bike
which were prizes in the video competition

National Walk on Wednesday Day:

20.05.09: Lá speisialta
Rinneamar go léir iarracht siúl nó an rothar a úsáid chun teacht ar scoil

Seo na páistí nach raibh ag brath ar an gcarr inniu

Survey of transport used by children going to school, May 2009

23.09.08: 88 ag teacht ar scoil sa charr
17.10.08: 66 ag teacht ar scoil sa charr
22.05.08: 96 ag teacht ar scoil sa charr

Once again, car is king!

Caithfimid iarracht níos fearr a dhéanamh!

2009-2010

Seo an Coiste nua don bhliain

Meán Fómhair, 2009:

Postaerí chun páistí a spreagadh an rothar nó na cosa a úsáid:

21.09.09: Lá Speisialta ar an bhFaiche

Seo an coiste
agus cairde a raibh rothair acu ar an lá

Comhghairdeachas Ann Garavan:
Fuair sí bronnadh speisialta
mar dea-shampla dúinn an rothar a úsáid

Bhí cluichí le himirt freisin

Suirbhé Tráchta sa Gheimhreadh:

Mí na Nollag, 2009

Tá an dá Rang 6 ag foghlaim rothaíochta faoi stiúir Gerry Butler

2010: Bliain Nua

Leis an sneachta agus an leac oighir agus an bháisteach, cén chaoi a bhfuil rudaí?

Well, this is as bad as it gets!

Cinnte, le biseach ar an aimsir,
beidh biseach ar an méid daltaí ag siúl agus ag rothaíocht

Nach mbeidh?

14.01.10
Tháinig Eva Gannon isteach chun múineadh faoin imshaol.
Labhair sí le gach rang ó na Naíonáin Shóisearacha go dtí Rang 2.
