We were delighted to welcome Paudie Crowley Games Development Officer with Cork County Board to school last week for a training session. We are looking forward to seeing him again next Monday!
We recently invested in a programme called ‘Six bricks’. It is a very simple concept whereby pupils each have 6 Lego duplo bricks which they can use in endless ways including:
• Language such as describing in rich detail, giving clear instructions, explaining your reasons, and telling stories, which helps you to communicate with others and express your ideas.
• Problem solving including to stay focused, and remember a task or a challenge, set goals and make plans, come up with creative ideas,and reflect on what you do and how you do it.
• Collaboration as in working together in pairs or teams, share turns and the materials you work with, learn from your peers and their ideas, and give each other roles and responsibilities.
We had so much fun today and look forward to exploring more in the coming days!
The pupils of the Senior Room had a fantastic day at The Warren Beach today. We are so lucky to live in this beautiful part of the world! Our pupils learned about various aspects of ecology in the company of Calvin Jones from the Heritage in Schools project. An exhausting but enjoyable day all round!
We had a lovely walk around our locality today. We spotted berries and plants, birds, burrows, bees and all sorts. It was terrific fun!
