Children from 1st – 6th had cycling classes over the past weeks. 6th classes were taught by Catherine from An Tasice who did a wide variety of cycling and safety tasks with them.
1st to 6th were taught by Ulick O’Beirne who taught them about safety, balance and even played group games.
All the children enjoyed the lessons.
Despite the threatening showers, the children (staff and parents) of Cloughduv N.S. got to enjoy their Fun Day on Friday, June 14th. The day started with a number of stations including parachute games, gymnastics, throwing and catching activities and an obstacle course. A popular activity was the bouncy castle kindly provided by the PA!
The ice-cream van visited and provided much needed refreshments.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed board games, EURO 2024 games, Art and many more activities.
All in all, we had a great day. Thanks to the PA for helping out – they made it even more fun!
June saw a very successful whole school show. All classes, led by Tara, worked collaboratively to produce a wonderful show. Well done to children and staff. It was evident that hours of hard work were put into it. We will forever have fond memories of the Wizard of Oz!
3rd to 5th class had a busy school tour. They visited Douglas Gymnastics Centre where they used a large variety of equipment. In the afternoon, all classes played paddle tennis. A fun and active day was had by all.
6th class enjoyed their final school tour on June 4th. They went to Smuggler’s Cove where they enjoyed tubing followed by delicious pizza. A trip to the Lagoon saw various water sports. Finally, they enjoyed a trip to the beach in glorious sunshine!
We are delighted to announce that Cloughduv N.S. has been awarded the Green School Flag for Travel by An Taisce. We have worked on this theme over the 2 two years, led by 2 wonderful committees. We want to thank the committees for their hard work in leading us. We have had competitions, awareness campaigns, written to Cork County Council, been granted a cover for our bike storage (due shortly) and did more besides. We have also continued to work on our previous themes. This is all made possible by the support of our staff, the children in our school and the PA. So, well done to our school community.
Our committee were lucky enough to travel to the Radisson Blu in Little Island where they enjoyed an enjoyable lunch before the award ceremony.
National Bike Week was celebrated from May 11th – 19th. As part of this, the Green School Committee encouraged children to bike or scoot to school. Despite the rain, some children braved the elements and cycled/ scooted to and from school. The Committee kept a record of how many did this each day – Scores on Doors. Congratulations to Junior and Senior Infants who had the greatest percentage of children scoot/ bike to school over the week.
On Friday, there was a Cycle Bus organised by the PA. A tremendous amount of work went into a well organised event. Thanks to the PA for their work on this. It was a wonderful atmosphere on the day!
Sixth class held a very successful Bake Sale on May 9th. We were very impressed with the array of home baking that was brought in for the event. We have a number of talented bakers in our school. Sixth are very grateful for the support that they received on the day from our school community.
Gardening season has well & truly started in Cloughduv NS. The raised beds have a wonderful variety of flowers and plants. We love to see the colour! We can’t wait to watch our flowers and plants grow over the next few weeks.
Best of luck in the upcoming matches!
