Our 5th & 6th Class pupils will soon be taking part in exciting learning activities linked to Irish Aid 🌍🇮🇪 They will learn about how Ireland supports people in over 130 countries worldwide, while exploring important global issues such as poverty and hunger 🤝, climate action 🌱, equality ⚖️ and supporting communities affected by conflict 🚑. This meaningful work will help our pupils to develop empathy ❤️, global awareness 🌎 and a strong sense of social responsibility 🌟. These learning experiences also strongly align with our Green Schools and Amber Flag programmes, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability, wellbeing, active citizenship and positive global action. We are really looking forward to this engaging and thought-provoking learning journey for our senior classes 👏📚.

💡🎨🛠️ Ingenuity in Action! 🛠️🎨💡 Creativity and STEM are thriving in our school! 🙌 A huge highlight is “Chessy Chessy Bang Bang” — a trolley kindly sponsored by Scally's SuperValu Clonakilty 🛒💙 and brilliantly transformed by our caretaker Finbarr 🔧✨ into a mobile learning hub. Thanks to this generous sponsorship and Finbarr’s creativity, this resource is now accessible to the whole school ♟️📚 👏 Massive thanks to SuperValu Clonakilty 🌟 for their continued support of our school, including sponsoring the 🎈 for the opening of our new extension. Your community spirit makes a real difference! 🎨✨ A special thank you to Claire Kavanagh, our talented SNA, who designed the artwork and coordinated 6th class to bring the project to life. 🌟 STEM • Creativity • Teamwork • Community 🌟 😉 The pupils may not quite get the “Chessy Chessy Bang Bang”… but we definitely do! 🎬😄

🏀 Afterschool Basketball for 5th & 6th 🏀 Our pupils are loving the Afterschool Basketball Programme — building skills, confidence, and teamwork while having great fun! A huge thank you to Mr Seán Daly and Mr Paul Carmody for their commitment and enthusiasm in making this possible. 👏

Congratulations Michael 🏸

🍕🎉 Pizza Party Fun in Rang 7 🎉🍕 There was great excitement in Rang 7 as the pupils enjoyed a very special pizza party on Friday! 🍕😊 The classroom was full of smiles as everyone sat down together to enjoy a tasty treat and a relaxed, happy time with friends. The children were very involved in the experience, helping to make their own pizzas 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳🍕 It was a lovely opportunity to practise practical skills, follow instructions, and work together in a calm and supportive environment 🌟🤝 It was a lovely end to a busy week, with lots of enjoyment, laughter, and of course, delicious pizza enjoyed by all! 😄🍕
