Ready, Set, Go!
April was yet another busy month in Cloghroe N.S. particularly for our budding athletes. Pupils from 1st to 6th class participated in athletic trials for “Cork City Sports”. The athletic team are very busy training and are having great fun preparing for the competition. We certainly have some future Usain Bolts and Sonia O’Sullivans in our midst. Best of luck to everyone competing next month!

Fancy a game of chess?
6th class pupils from Mrs. Golden, Ms. McSwiney and Mrs. O’Connor’s class had the opportunity to participate in a chess workshop with Liam Murray. Pupils learnt the rules of the game, before practicing their new skills during a range of chess games with their peers. It has been proven that playing chess can have a positive influence on pupils numeracy and literacy skills, it is shown to develop memory skills and best of all…. it is great fun!

Exploring science!
5th class pupils are currently participating in the “Discover Primary Science” award programme. Pupils and teachers are very busy completing the five steps in the programme and will be submitting their log book in the coming weeks. Pupils explored the concept of absorbency and also used their engineering skills to design a boat. The children used scientific skills such as observing, predicting, estimating, measuring and recording. Pupils also utilised their numeracy skills when completing these experiments. 5th class pupils thoroughly enjoyed completing the programme!

Aistear fun
The fun is continuing in Junior Infants, as pupils learn through play using the Aistear programme. Pupils participate in structured play sessions developing oral language, social skills and covering a range of curricular areas. Pupils are currently working on the theme of “The Construction site” and “The Estate Agents”. If anyone is looking for advice on the property market, why not give our Junior Infants a call?
