As the month of March approached and our National Holiday March 17th was about to descend upon the nation, our motto for the month was to GIVE

Give the gift of reading

Irish language to be encourage

Volunteer for a charity

Encourage participation in sport and fun.

Give the gift of reading: World Book Day and Our Shared Reading Programme

World Book Day took place on March 7th, a very busy day for us. Great care and time was given by each student to the choosing of their favourite book. Attention to detail to their costumes and the reciting of extracts from their books was all very exciting and attention grabbing.

A shared reading programme was introduced within the school. Lisa Dunlea, a parent of the school participated in the reading of books to the junior room. This was encouraged further with the senior pupils being matched with a “reading buddy” from the junior room.

Well done to all the students.

Irish language to be encouraged: Our National Holiday – 17th March Celebration.+

We prepared for the approaching of St. Patrick’s Day. The pupils practiced their Irish dancing in the school yard. Óró, sé do bheatha ‘bhaile, Amhrán na bhFiann were a few of the songs learned and heard in the air of the school grounds. Tin whistles were resurfaced to practice their Irish tunes.

Volunteer for a charity: Student Council Successful Fundraiser for Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland

We would like to compliment our student council, the pupils, staff and the parents of the school on a very successful fundraiser. The AADI team visited our school on Thursday 7th March at 12 noon and accepted a cheque of €630.55 for funds raised at our bake sale. The students prepared and baked them all themselves. A huge thank you to the local community who visited our school for the fundraiser.

Encourage participation in sport and fun: 5 A-side FAI Soccer Tournament & Dance

The boys of the school headed for Blarney FC to participate in the 5 A-side FAI tournament. They played with great gusto and spirit getting to the semi final of the tournament being narrowly defeated. The soccer skills, teamwork was to be admired. The school were very proud of the boys.

With the month of March being a month of celebration and fun, the children enjoyed a Ceili in the school yard with many of the young boys and girls getting the taste for the traditional Irish dance and fun. Irish dance or high jinks – it was all part of the fun for March!

Farewell to Ms. Sheahan

The school community were very sad to see Ms. Fiona Sheahan leave the school this month after a year with us. She brought great open mindedness to our SPHE curriculum and to the world of education and protecting our environment. She was a great asset to the school and enriched the lives of our pupils while she was with us.

Guímid gach rath ort i do ghairm bheatha agus i do shaol amach anseo. Go raibh maith agat as an scoil ar fad.
