Inspired by the sad news of the passing of Béibhinn from Carrigaline aged 9 years old recently. #theheartangel
See the following link for more information https://www.theheartangel.com/random-act-of-kindness

As part of our Amber Flag application, all pupils are completing our annual Advent of Kindness in Béibhinns honour. They are busy completing random acts of kindness each day. Then, they are drawing or writing about these acts of kindness into a blank calendar of their own.

The calendar pictured below is a list of suggested acts of kindness that the pupils are adopting.

Well done everyone!

Please feel free to share our calendar and keep on spreading the kindness 😊

Wellness Month

Wellness Month

Wellness Month

We had a Wellness Month last December where pupils from all classes reflected on positive things in their lives as part of their homework.  Each class reduced written homework and in its place children reflected on their day in their gratitude journals. Other classes were encouraged to chat with the family at home as part of the month. This led to open family discussions around questions like;

  • What makes us happy?
  • What did we do well today?
  • How were we kind today?

As well as this, each class had an ‘Advent Act of Kindness’ calendar, from which tasks were assigned each day; we encouraged family discussions around this too. Our Wellness month proved to be great success and fantastic fun too!!

4th Class perform for Care Choice residents

On the 19th of December 2019, our 4th class boys and girls paid Care Choice nursing home a visit and performed Christmas Carols for all residents.

Prior to the visit, the class had designed Christmas cards for each resident which they were able to hand-deliver on the day.

The class performed the carols amazingly well and should be very proud of themselves.  One resident said, “It has made my Christmas”. Thank you, 4th class, for spreading the Christmas spirit.
