We have had a very busy week doing lots of different Maths activities! We had Maths challenges, quizzes, trails, iPad games, chess events and much more.

We also had a very sucessful Maths stations event in the school hall where a younger class paired with an older class to play different Maths games and take part in activities.

It really was great fun discovering Maths all around our school during the week!!

As ever there was great excitement for our annual Halloween parade which took place on our school yard this year. 

Huge credit must go to all who helped design and create such magnificent costumes. There was so much creativity on display throughout the classes. 😁

We encouraged the use of recycled costumes this year as part of our Green Schools initiative and the standard was extremely high. 

Our panel of secret judges had a tough job on their hands to pick award winners from each class. 

Please see our video reel below for a flavour of the amazing costumes on display around our school today.

Camogie and Hurling Finals

Camogie and Hurling Finals

Camogie and Hurling Finals

We’d a great week of sporting action over the last week on local GAA fields. Both our camogie and hurling teams represented our school so well displaying great endeavour, attitude, teamwork and skills throughout each competition.

Huge congratulations must go to our camogie team this week. After two amazing group stage wins, they played magnificently well in the final against St Josephs GNS Skibbereen and were deserving cup champions on the day.

Our hurling team did incredibly well to get to their cup final after a win against Bandon Primary School but unfortunately narrowly lost to deserving cup winners Scoil Mhuire agus Bharra, Bantry in the final.

On both days, it was really encouraging to see our young hurlers and camogie players playing their hearts out for our school. Well done to all involved.

World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day

Last Friday October 10th to mark World Mental Health Day we launched our wellbeing activities for the coming school year.

Our focus was “Empathy”. Each of our pupils partnered up and took turns talking and listening to each other’s life in school. Their chat focused on things that make them happy, sad and/or angry during their school day. We called it the “Walk in my Shoes” activity and we hope the activity will encourage more of an appreciation for pupils’ unique feelings and challenges during their school day.

Our pupils followed this activity with a mindful walk around our school grounds. Some of our senior classes participated in a very beneficial Online Mental Health Talk called “Mind Your Mind” on the day too.

Huge thank you to everyone for your incredible support for our school fundraiser last Friday, the total fund raised so far is 504euro.
