Lismire N.S. Buzzes with Activity
The children in Lismire NS were kept busy during the last term with a variety of activities. Children in 5th and 6th were delighted when they received their Confirmation on 22nd May. It was a great day for the Parish and the children were great representatives for the school, as always. The older children participated in a number of football blitzes and while also enjoying a tag rugby blitz.
Drama is a big part of our Community and what better way to develop the skills and talents of our children than a repeat of last year’s successful workshop with Comedian Bernard Casey! Again, the children got really involved in the games and drama pieces and it proved to be excellent for team building, decision making and creativity.
The annual school tours were greatly enjoyed by all. The junior and middle room headed for Let’s Go Camp in Mallow and thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities - lots of tired heads coming home on the bus afterwards. The senior room went to Ballyhass Lakes and they had great fun, on land, and on water!
The annual Sports day took place during the last week and it was a great success and great fun was had. Of course there were mixed emotions as we had the farewell graduation for our fabulous 6th class. It was a lovely occasion shared with family and friends. We wish our wonderful 6th class the very best for their next chapter and hope they will come back to visit us!
Finally, the Summer raffle was held on the day of the holidays. A big thanks to the Parents’ Association who do great work in organising the much anticipated end of term raffle! The winners, Tadhg, Jamie, Charlie, Peter, Jane and Mary - were the envy of all on the day. We hope all at Lismire NS enjoy their Summer break and we look forward to seeing you all again in September for a new school year.
