Bats in Sixth Class!

A bat was spotted snoozing on the wall of the sixth class building today! Taking care not to disturb him, we took some photos. Some were braver than others moving in close to get a good shot! Thanks Colm!

Tráth na gCeist
Bhain páistí rang a sé taitneamh as tráth na gceist ag céiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge.  Tar éis roinnt babhta fíor taitneamhach bhí orainn "tie-breaker" a dhéanamh chun buaiteoirí a fháil.  Comhgháirdeachas le gach páiste a ghlac páirt.

Rip Tide as Gaeilge
Féach ar rang a sé ag canadh an amhráin "Rip Tide" as Gaeilge mar pháirt  céiliúradh Seachtain na Gaeilge.

FAI 5 a side soccer
Eight 6th class boys participated in an FAI organised soccer competition in O'Shea Park, home of Blarney United in February.  Over thirty boys from 6th class attended trial games over a number of weeks before the final 8 were selected.  The standard of opposition was of the highest quality and despite winning our first group game we didn't advance to Turners Cross.  Well done to Brian, Harry, Seán, Jacob, Scott, Dylan, Jamie and Conor.

Cispheil na mBunscoil.

Cispheil na mBunscoil is a basketball tournament held in Cork for primary schools. This year 172 teams participated over the four day event.

We had two weeks to train for the basketball tournament. On Thursday 11th of February 2016 at approximately 11a.m we set off to the Cispheil na mBunscoil in Upper Glanmire.

There were two panels of ten, with two teams in each panel. Mrs. Desmond and Mrs. Lynch as well as our main coach Mr. Whitty accompanied us. We were meant to only play 3 games but we managed to fit in an extra one. The two teams we were playing against were playing against Glenville and Firmont. The games were played in a great spirit but had a fast pace and a competitive edge.
​
In conclusion it was a fantastic day and I would recommend it to anybody who is up for a good sporty day out.

Edible Christmas!

Children in Sixth Class have been busy this week preparing and baking our Christmas Cakes! We weighed out our fruit and soaked it in brandy, orange zest and juice for a few days. It smelled so Christmassy! Then we prepared our tins, lining them with paper and cardboard to protect our cake. We baked the cake in the staffroom oven and everyone enjoyed the smell of Christmas throughout the building!

Guns of Easter - 1916

Sixth Class are reading the ‘Guns of Easter’ by Gerard Whelan at the moment. It is a fictional story but it is  based on the 1916 rising. It’s all about a boy called Jimmy Conway and it tells the story of how the rising affected him and his family, neighbours and friends. The story is set in Dublin and so we are learning about the Rising, where it happened and the people involved. We find it easier to understand the events of the rising through Jimmy’s eyes.

Sciath na Scol 2015

We were very proud of our boys who played their hearts out on the pitch against Riverstown last week. It was a very wet day and they played on despite the terrible conditions. There was great encouragement too from loyal supporters!

Sausage Roll Sale for Syrian Refugees

Sixth class pupils were busy in Cloghroe NS selling sausage rolls to raise money for Syrian refugees. We are delighted to announce that 290 euro was raised. We have also raised awareness of this important issue around the school. We would like to thank everyone for their generous donations. We will donate the money to this worthy cause through the charity UNICEF.
