Our polytunnel, full of plants before our recent session for schools involved in our Cúram project. They are now en route to those schools for some winter gardening.

@philipnolan1 Onwards and upwards, Philip 🙌

Well, update. I can prop myself up in bed, drink from a cup or glass, and ‘sign’ my name with the ‘bad’ arm. I can wear jocks, not a nappy. I can walk with a walker. This week, I’ll lose the catheter, and transfer to a car as a passenger. Onwards!

@paulybut @Oide_Leadership Congrats, Paul. Looking forward to meeting you in Laois soon.

Delighted to announce that I am joining the leadership team @Oide_Leadership as a Professional Learning Leader. Looking forward to my new role supporting school leaders through Mentoring, Coaching, Research, School Support and Leadership Programmes.

We were delighted to take part in the Cubeathon event today in @mountrathcs which was the culmination of a year’s work as part of the Transition to Post-Primary Programme organised in conjunction with @CentreLaois and @DoolanC . The programme used IZAK-9 cubes @AbacusandHelix as a bridging resource between primary and post-primary to facilitate very meaningful collaboration betwen ourselves, three other primary schools in our area and TY students in @mountrathcs. ‘Encouraging Playfulness’ , ‘Promoting Maths Talk’ & ‘Using Cognitively Challenging Tasks’ as per the new Maths curriculum @NCCAie really came to the fore 🧮 @SFICuriousMinds @OidePrimarySTEM

@pt_phone_home @_conorgalvin Would love to chat to the author(s) of this fantastic piece of work.

Really enjoyed looking over this poster. Unfortunately, I can't tag the author as I saw it after the poster presentations. The title, in particular, is a very clever play on words #esai24

@HelenORahilly This is amazing news! I had 3 pregnancies, hospitalised for 5-6 months, drip-fed & heavily sedated to try to curb hyperemesis. Unable to eat, weight plummeted & constant relentless vomiting. Miserable! Tear in my eye reading this - hope it will help other mothers to fare better.
