🤸‍♂️✨ Our pupils are absolutely loving their gymnastics classes with Aoife! ✨🤸‍♀️ Each session is filled with fun, movement, encouragement and excitement as the children develop their balance, coordination, strength and confidence through a wide variety of activities and challenges. We are incredibly lucky to have such fantastic facilities in our school, providing our pupils with a wonderful space to stay active, learn new skills and enjoy movement in a safe and supportive environment. 💙 Aoife’s positivity, patience and expertise shine through in every class. Most importantly, she creates an inclusive atmosphere where every pupil feels encouraged to participate, be brave, try something new and believe in themselves. 👏 It has been fantastic to watch our pupils grow in confidence, resilience and teamwork throughout these sessions. Thank you, Aoife, for making gymnastics such a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone! 🌟 #Gymnastics #ActiveSchools #Confidence #Inclusion #Bravery #Teamwork #LearningThroughMovement

🧠🎵 SNB 4th class presents their brilliant STEM project in UL! 🎵🧠 What a fantastic day for Ms Hayes’s 4th Class at Science Blast in the University of Limerick! 👏🔬 The boys proudly presented their excellent project: 🎶 “Does Music Help Our Brain Power?” 🎶 This clever investigation beautifully combined SNB’s wonderful musical tradition with STEM learning, exploring how music affects memory, concentration, literacy and maths. 🎼💡 The project was hugely admired throughout the exhibition and the judge was incredibly impressed with the boys’ scientific thinking, teamwork and presentation skills. The boys explained their project brilliantly and were a real credit to our school! ⭐👏 The class also loved exploring the interactive STEM exhibits and activities throughout the day 🚀 — and to make an already amazing day even better, they received a plaque recognising their fantastic work before enjoying some very well-earned ice cream on the journey home! 🍦🏅 A huge thank you to Ms Hayes for all her hard work and dedication. We are so proud of everyone involved! 💙 #ScienceBlast #STEM #FutureScientists #ScoilnamBuachailli #UL

📚✨ Turning Pages & Building Spaces ✨📚 Our Every Child a Reader Programme has come to a very successful conclusion in Scoil na mBuachaillí Clonakilty. Over the past number of weeks, pupils from 3rd, 4th and 5th Class enjoyed inspiring workshops with Champion of Reading Elizabeth Rose Murray (E.R. Murray), exploring books, reading habits and favourite genres together. Non-fiction, sport and comedy proved especially popular! 📖 As part of the programme, we received a fantastic selection of books from Children’s Books Ireland, while a generous donation from a grandparent in our school community has also helped support the continued development of our library resources. 💙 The programme finished with a relaxing whole-school reading session, celebrating reading for enjoyment in a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Behind the scenes, exciting work is also underway on our brand new library area. A huge thank you to Finbarr for creating the beautiful bespoke library space, to Sam for helping with the upholstery and seating area, and to Ms Carol O’Boyle for coordinating the programme so successfully. 👏 We have also introduced a new Library Management System through Aladdin and look forward to appointing pupil librarians in the near future. 📚 Read. Explore. Imagine. Grow. 💙
