On Friday, 14th June, all the children enjoyed a great morning of fun sporting activities! The Parent’s Association along with all their helpers set up lots of fun activities including parachute games, penalty shoot out, table tennis, egg and spoon activities, skipping, welly throwing and tug of war. All the children had the opportunity to try all the different activities during the morning! The final activity was a visit to the Ice Cream van for a lovely treat! It was a great fun filled day!
On Wednesday, 12th June, the children in Junior and Senior Infants along with Ms. Linehan, Ms. Breen and Garda James went to Rumley’s Farm for their school tour.
Everyone had a great time seeing all the animals, getting to rub some of the baby animals, going on a tractor ride around the farm and playing in the outdoor and indoor play areas.
Here are some photos of our day!
On Friday, 7th June, we celebrated our second Green Flag with an action packed ‘green themed’ day!
We began the day with a green / environmental themed fancy dress parade! So many children made a wonderful effort to dress up in a costume appropriate to the day. The judges from the Green Schools Committee had a very tough task picking the prizewinners in each classroom. Here are some photos of a few of the fantastic costumes.
Then we all went to the front of the school for the flag raising ceremony. Mrs. Landers made a lovely speech thanking everyone for all their help in helping to reduce the energy we use in the school which has helped us receive the Green Flag and ultimately is helping the environment. Holly and Grace from the Green Schools Committee also made a wonderful speech about their time working on the committee, the impact of our actions on the environment and why we need initiatives like the Green Flag.
Then we all returned to the hall and Mrs. Lander’s class sang some environmental themed songs for us and there were cakes and treats for everyone baked by the children in 5th and 6th classes. We had a wonderful day!
An art competition was held in the school recently for a picture to go on the cover of our Cloughduv N.S. homework journal for the school year 2019 – 2020.
Well done to the three prize winners – Sean, Rachel and Zong. Ms. Linehan presented them with their prizes at assembly last week.
Congratulations to Sean, Jayden, Olivia, Mary and Killian who received the Kindness Awards for May at our recent assembly. Well done!
4th and 5th Classes along with Ms. Spillane, Ms. Breen and Michelle enjoyed a super day on Spike Island on Wednesday, 5th June for their school tour.
The day included a boat trip to the island from Cobh, a walking tour of the island and all its sights including the museum, the jail cells, the gun rooms and all the tanks. The children also enjoyed an action packed afternoon on the recreation fields completing various obstacle courses, relay races and other activities before returning by boat to Cobh and back to Cloughduv.
Check out some photos of a great day!
On Tuesday, 4th June, all the children were treated to a wonderful theatre performance here in school called “The Bluebird” by a live theatre company. It was a fantastic end of year treat for everyone.
Cloughduv N.S. enjoyed a very successful day in CIT on Thursday, 30th May at the Cork Primary Schools Sports. All our athletes represented the school superbly and we had a wonderful haul of trophies returning to Cloughduv afterwards. Our boys team were the overall winners of their section. Well done to all the athletics team and many thanks to the teachers and parents who accompanied them.
The children in all classes from infants to 6th enjoyed a very special singing workshop at the end of May with Mr. Peter Stobart, who is the head of music in St. Finbarr’s Cathedral.
