🤸‍♀️✨ 6th Class Gymnastics in Action! ✨🤸‍♂️ Our 6th Class pupils have been making fantastic use of our school facilities, creating a brilliant space for active learning and fun! 🏫🤩 We are so lucky to have excellent resources in our school — a hall that is perfectly suited for performances, complete with stage, sound, and lighting 🎭🎤, as well as a second hall dedicated to activities like gymnastics and PE 🤸‍♀️⚽. We are also delighted that all classes from Junior Infants right up to Rang 8 have the opportunity to take part in a term of gymnastics lessons each year 🙌 From balancing and rolling to jumping and creating their own sequences, the children have shown great skill, focus, and determination 💪👏 The variety of equipment allows them to safely explore, challenge themselves, and build confidence. It has been wonderful to see them support one another, work as a team 🤝, and bring creativity to their routines ✨ A big thank you to Aoife MacAuley for her fabulous coaching and for inspiring the children throughout these sessions 🙌🌟 They are developing strength, flexibility, and teamwork in such an engaging environment — and this is only the beginning… imagine how amazing they’ll be by the end of their sessions! 🚀🤩 Well done to all of 6th Class! 🎉🙌 #ActiveSchools #Gymnastics #6thClass #SchoolFacilities #LearningThroughMovement

🌞✨ What a fantastic and fun-filled Friday for our Senior Infants! 📚⚽ They had a wonderfully busy day from start to finish, filled with lots of rich learning opportunities along the way 🎉. Their morning began with a lovely visit to the library Cork County Council Library & Arts Service 📖, where the children developed their love of reading, explored a variety of books, and strengthened their listening 👂 and comprehension skills through stories. After that, it was time to get active with an exciting soccer session led by Klaaskickz ⚽🙌. The children had great fun practicing their skills, playing games, and working together as a team 🤝 — building coordination, confidence 💪, communication 🗣️, and teamwork. All that activity built up an appetite, so they enjoyed a relaxing lunch outside in the sunshine ☀️🍎. This was a great opportunity to develop social skills, independence, and conversation 💬 with their friends in a calm and enjoyable setting. The boys were especially proud to be wearing their jerseys as part of Stand 4 Féile 💙👏, helping to build a sense of community, identity, and pride in being part of something special. To top it all off, they finished the day with a quick visit to the playground 🛝😊, where they explored, played, and developed their physical skills, imagination 🎨, and friendships through active play. A perfect mix of fun, learning, and fresh air 🌿 — and a wonderful way to end a fantastic week. Happy Friday everyone! 🎉😊

Our incredible school community has so far raised an incredible €845 & counting for Stand4Féile - Litwithgrit following our Jersey Day on Friday! Sciath na Scol Chorcaí

🎶☘️ St. Patrick’s Day Parade 2026 – Craic & Ceol Through the Ages ☘️🎶 What a fantastic day we had representing SNB in the Clonakilty St. Patrick’s Day Parade! 🇮🇪 The Clontowntwinning theme “Craic & Ceol Through the Ages” suited our school perfectly and our pupils proudly showcased our rich musical tradition — from traditional Irish music 🎻 to rock 🎸. A huge thank you to all our wonderful pupils and families who took part and made the day so special. 👏 We are incredibly proud of you all! 🌟 Sincere thanks to Michael Dempsey for driving us and to Gilbert O'Sullivan for kindly loaning the trailer. Thank you to all our staff who supported and accompanied the pupils on the day 🙌 A special word of thanks to Kay O’Flynn for accompanying our traditional musicians 🎶, to Regina Fitzmaurice and her fantastic sound crew 🎤 and to John Fitzgerald for mentoring the sound crew 👏 We are also very grateful to Orla O’Keeffe for her outstanding coordination of the parade arrangements — from planning and organisation beforehand to ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day itself ✔️ Thank you also to everyone who helped behind the scenes with costumes 👗, props 🎭, banners and preparations — your effort made all the difference 💚 We were delighted to celebrate the legacy of famous Irish musicians 🇮🇪 and to share the strong sense of ceol agus craic that is at the heart of our school 🎶☘️ 💚 Thank you all for your continued support! I Love Clonakilty Clonakilty Notice Board

A captured moment from the West Cork Rally prize giving in Emmet Square 🏁🚗📸 The boys were delighted to soak up the atmosphere in town and meet some of the people who help make this fantastic event happen each year. The West Cork Rally is always a highlight in Clonakilty and brings such excitement to the community. Great smiles all around today – a lovely memory for the boys! 🥰👏 #SNBClonakilty

🐔☀️🌱 Teamwork in Action at Scoil na mBuachaillí! 🌿🚲 The side of our school where the chickens live has become a real sun trap and outdoor learning space. We are very lucky to be blessed with space in our school grounds, which makes areas like this possible. This part of the school is home to our bike shed 🚲, composting area ♻️, raised beds for planting 🌱, the chicken coop 🐔, and even our outdoor staff room ☕, which was introduced last year. It’s a busy and positive space where sustainability, wellbeing and daily school life come together. We also have plans to develop a sensory garden 🌸🌼🌿 here in the future. One of the most exciting jobs in this area is moving the chicken coop — and it always brings great energy and teamwork! 💪👦👦 Our large coop was designed and built by our caretaker Finbarr 🔨, who cleverly made it so it can be moved regularly around the school grounds. This allows the hens to enjoy fresh grass 🌱 and new areas to explore, while naturally fertilising the soil — a great example of sustainability in action ♻️🌍. The boys absolutely love helping to move the coop. Working together with staff, they carefully guide it to a new spot. It’s a brilliant hands-on lesson in teamwork 🤝, responsibility ⭐, problem-solving 🧠 and caring for animals 🐓. Inside the coop, the chickens are never short of curious visitors! The boys enjoy observing their behaviour 👀, collecting eggs 🥚 and learning about how animals live and grow. Sometimes the best learning happens outside the classroom. 🌿☀️ #ScoilNamBuachaillí #OutdoorLearning 🌱 #Teamwork 🤝 #SchoolChickens 🐔
