Welcome to Fourth Class 2017 & 2018
Well done to the boys and girls in my class who raised the most money for our new pitch. As an acknowledgement of this, they were allowed to be the first class in O' Growney N.S. to walk on and enjoy our beautiful new facilities.

Our close "Guess the Weight" competitors! Congratulations!
Remembrance Tree:
We had a Remembrance Tree in our classroom for the month of November. We used a bare tree that had fallen during Hurricane Ophelia. The bare tree represented death. The children cut out small love hearts and wrote some names of our dead onto them. They then decorated the hearts and punched holes in them. Finally they threaded some wool through the holes and carefully tied the hearts to the branches of the tree.
This beautiful symbol was used as a focal point for our services during November-the month of our dead.
