Diary Work Log:
Friday 21st April, 2017
Other people dig up treasure troves… historical artefacts worth thousands…. or bones from some ancient days of long ago….
Well, today, at St Patrick’s PS….
we discovered - a main power line for NIE going through the middle of the pitch… ummh
Monday 24th April, 2017
Not to be outdone, while the contractors wait for the power line to be re-rooted, demolition of the first of the two old mobile units will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, and these will be the first to be replaced.
Tuesday 25th April, 2017
The diggers, the skips and the workmen are on site for 7:40am and have moved into the back yard to start the mobile extraction – this will be a totally painless event except for the cheers when we see the beginning of the end of the well-served mobiles go forever tomorrow, Wednesday – fingers crossed….
Well, Mrs Lavery's P6 class had an absolute dinky-fit when the workers' "port-a-loo" arrived on site! They think it's hilarious!
Wednesday 26th April, 2017
WOW!! Look what met our eyes at 8:00am this morning!!
What a day!!
There was a tear in my eye when the JCB knocked through the roof – but its OK, it was just a bit of dust, nothing more.
Thank you to all the children and the staff for their superb cooperation and support with all the reorganisation of routines and procedures and to the excellent contractors – including Gerry Fitzgerald who worked the JCB and got cheers and applause from the Morning Club children – a fantastic job so far.
Two down and four to go!!
What will tomorrow bring??!!
Friday 28th April, 2017
I didn't realise we had lost a storm drain at St Patrick's but guess what??? We found one - buried right beside the power line in the pitch... Who knows what next?!
At least the foundations for the next new double units will be done over the weekend and by Tuesday we will have some of the back yard back again for play!

The pitch got its second grass cut today ... See what you think when you pass by!!
