St Patrick’s Day parade this year was something to cherish with so many colourful and vibrant entries.
The theme for this year’s St Patricks Day parade was “Peace”.
As part of our parade entry, the pupils made a huge effort and dressed up as native Irish animals. Our slogan was “Animals Living in Harmony ” as gaeilge “An hainmhithe le chéile”. The pupils made colourful masks in the lead up to the parade. As well as this, our pupils learned a dance routine to the song “I tell my Ma when I go home”. It was an amazing spectacle huge thanks must go to Miss Ambrose for her help with the routine and of course, our fantastic pupils who performed it so well on the day.
Afterwards we were delighted to hear that our entry received 3rd prize. Well done to all pupils and staff who made this such a special day.
Our gallery displays a snapshot of pictures from our school’s display in the St Patrick Day parade in Clonakilty.

Wellness Week 2024
Last week we celebrated Wellness Week in our school. Some of the activities enjoyed included, mindful nature walks, morning shake-ups, collaborative art, yoga, feel-good lunchtime music, and practicing gratitude.
The lovely mix of activities certainly put a “spring” in our step before the long weekend. Well done to the pupils and staff involved in organising this enjoyable week.

Whole School Art “Find your wings and fly”
Each pupil decorated a feather which will create wings as part of a whole school collaborative art piece. The objective was to focus pupils’ minds on believing in their unique qualities and strengths. Well done to members of our Fourth Class who assisted some younger classes in their creations.
Gratitude Jars
Each pupil decorated a jar with things that they are grateful for in their lives. Our Amber Flag reps decorated each classroom door with each pupil’s beautiful creations. We all adopted an “attitude of gratitude” during Wellness Week.
Mindful Moments
Each class agreed on a time for daily meditation. We have found it really is nice to take time for ourselves sometimes.
Feel Good Dance
We danced during lunchtime to feel-good music from our two speakers. It was great fun 😊
Drop Everything and Colour (DEAC)
On Monday afternoon, we engaged in some mindful colouring in each class.
Morning Shake-Up
The Active and Amber Flag reps directed exercise sessions with school pupils on Friday morning during Wellness week.
Yoga
All classes enjoyed Yoga in our school hall during Wellness Week. Thank you to Mrs. Russell and Ms McMahon for providing such enjoyable sessions.
Mindful Nature Walk
Senior class pupils were paired with their junior class counterparts for this activity to add to the sense of community in our school. Pupils walked together to several points around our school and answered a question at each point that involved one of their five senses “sight, sound, smell, taste and touch”. Our sensory garden, track, pitch, and large outdoor space were well-covered during this activity. 😀👏
