Tots to Teens: Bugs and beasties for nature lovers
Get in touch with nature by taking part in the Wild Garden Adventures series at the National Botanic Gardens. These interactive events start tomorrow, July 23, and continue weekly until August 27. First up is a 'Biodiversity — Bugs & Beasties', which will introduce children to the bugs and creatures found in various habitats in the gardens. Next is the 'Budding Botanist', which will involve an expedition through the gardens and learning how to identify and collect various plant specimens. They will then press these plants in a flower press that they construct themselves. The third event is 'Pond Dipping', which will teach children about the weird and wonderful diversity of insects that live in and around the ponds in the gardens. The fourth event is the 'Bird Safari', during which the bird author Glynn Anderson will bring children on a guided walk through the gardens, pointing out all the different birds he spots along the way. There's another 'Biodiversity — Bugs & Beasties' event on August 20 and a 'Budding Botanist' one on August 27. All of these tours are suitable for children aged eight and up. Tickets, €5, can be booked online via Woodies fundraiser Woodies' Heroes. Woodie's has announced the return of Woodie's Heroes, its annual fundraiser in aid of Irish children's charities. The DIY, home and garden store has held this fundraiser since 2015 and has raised over €4.1m in that time. This year, the Woodie's Heroes campaign will run from now until August 9, and every cent raised will be donated to Childline by ISPCC, Down Syndrome Ireland, Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland, and the Cancer Fund for Children. Supporting the campaign is easy. All you have to do is donate at the till in any Woodie's store or contribute online at Adventuring in Ireland My Irish Adventure My Irish Adventure is a great book to pack in the suitcase if you're planning on taking a trip anywhere in Ireland this summer. It was written by five-year-old Eoghan Corrigan and his mum Carol, and reading it will encourage children to discover more of what this country has to offer. The book follows Eoghan as he journeys across Ireland. Each page is devoted to a different county and features colourful illustrations as well as Eoghan's favourite facts about that particular part of the country. On the page devoted to Cork, for example, he mentions the Blarney Stone, Cobh and its association with the Titanic and how Spike Island was once the world's biggest depot for convicts. My Irish Adventure is widely available and costs from €10. Summer schooling Top of the Class The Irish summer can be hit or miss weather-wise. One minute, the kids are happy playing outdoors in the sunshine. The next torrential rain can force them back indoors, where they are likely to complain of having nothing to do. The 'Top of the Class' board game is a great thing to have on hand when such complaints arise. It's an Irish general knowledge and trivia game suitable for all ages from six and up. To win, participants must answer questions based on English, maths, history, science, geography and general knowledge they will have learned at school. They must also avoid hazards, handle the principal's instructions, and pass their summer tests. This board game can be purchased from for €34.95. M&S back-to-school It's never too early to plan for the children's return to school, especially if there are special offers available. Marks & Spencer has announced that it is keeping its prices locked at 2021 levels for another year and is currently offering 20% off its back-to-school range. Parents can now avail of deals like two cotton unisex polo shirts for €6. Offer lasts for a limited time only.

Guest list to Ukrainian Ambassador's Wexford visit ruffles feathers
The South West Wexford Family Resource Centre (SWWFRC) in Ramsgrange welcomed a distinguished guest last week, which caused a political stir among Wexford County Council's dignitaries. Her Excellency Larysa Gerasko, Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland, visited the centre for a vibrant celebration of cultural connection and community solidarity. The visit on Tuesday, July 8, co-hosted by Blokes with Cameras, brought together local residents, Ukrainian families, community leaders, and staff for an afternoon of music, art, and shared stories. Ambassador Gerasko was greeted on arrival by Jack Butler, Chair of the SWWFRC Board of Management, and Anzhelika Kruk, SWWFRC staff member and representative of the Ukrainian community. A live harp performance at the entrance set the tone for the occasion, followed by heartfelt speeches from Mr. Butler, the Ambassador, and Ms. Kruk, delivered from the centre's balcony to an enthusiastic crowd. In the centre's activity room, guests enjoyed a cultural showcase featuring Irish and Ukrainian music, and an inspiring art exhibition created by Ukrainian children living in the area. The celebration concluded with refreshments in the Community Café and informal conversations between guests, families, and staff. 'It was a privilege to welcome Ambassador Gerasko to our community,' said Centre Manager, Sharon Kennedy. 'This visit highlights the incredible resilience and cultural richness of the Ukrainian people, and the strong bonds that have formed here in South West Wexford. We are proud to support inclusion, friendship, and cultural expression at the heart of our work,' Ms Kennedy added. The event was documented by Blokes with Cameras, a local group that continues to capture community life through film and photography. Meanwhile, local Councillor, Michael Sheehan stirred some political upset online as he asked why the event was not attended by the Cathaoirleach of the New Ross District Council, John Dwyer; nor the Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Joe Sullivan. Both local representatives responded and said neither had received an invite to the event, in which, prior to an updated statement from the SWWFRC, created speculation that a visit had been facilitated by another politician without the knowledge of their local councillor colleagues and members of the executive. The speculation stemmed from a visit facilitated by the Ceann Comhairle, Verona Murphy TD, as she and Director of Services with Wexford County Council, Eamonn Hore, welcomed the Moroccan Ambassador, Lahcen Mahraoui, to New Ross recently. Mr Butler clarified that this was not the case, and in the Chairperson's statement he said: 'I'd like to note that this event was organised by SWWFRC and Blokes with Cameras as a community-focused gathering to highlight the strength, culture, and resilience of our local Ukrainian families alongside our wider community.' He continued: 'The visit by Ambassador Gerasko was a celebration of grassroots support and inclusion, and the guest list reflected those directly involved in that ongoing local work.' 'We remain committed to engaging with all stakeholders in support of our shared community mission,' Mr Butler concluded.
