Halloween was celebrated with a fancy dress parade for the parents and a day of playing traditional games for Halloween. All the pupils had a boo-tastic midterm break, we returned to school to begin rehearsing carols and our Christmas plays. These will take place in the church on Tuesday the 20th of Dec at 12:30. The pupils are growing garlic and onions in the raised beds and are look forward to getting a willow structure created by Heritage in Schools in December.
Gymnastics have started on a Friday with School Fitness Ireland.
Science week was a blast and Teagasc Say Cheese was all things milk, cheese and dairy.
Anti-bullying week the pupils were looking and value statements and acts of kindness.
There was great excitement when we had a visit from an ambulance especially after many of our pupils enjoying the meet and greet in Fermoy with the local emergency response services. Garda Conor was out again with his flashing lights- with his warning that these are not suitable for anyone with epilepsy or seizures. If anyone if feeling unsafe or finds themselves in an emergency to ring 999.
