Our fabulous SNAs Claire and Carmel went to great lengths recently to prepare 13 different shoeboxes to challenge our Junior and Senior Infants in a variety of ways. Activities include making jigsaws, using playdough mats, threading, using pegs, squeezing, pinching, making patterns and lots of other ways to improve fine and gross motor skills while working independently. Just look at those faces full of concentration!
6 members of the Senior room represented the school in a Fícheall (chess) tournament in Bantry today. They were a credit to themselves and their school. Maith sibh go léir!
We were visited recently by a cousin of one of our pupils who was on a family holiday from Italy. We really enjoyed meeting him!
We recently borrowed ‘Lego WeDo’ kits from the West Cork Education Centre and they are proving to be very popular! The programme combines traditional lego bricks with instructions via an iPad app. Here you can see the pupils of the Senior room helping children from 1st and 2nd class. We can’t wait to have another go!
