The children really enjoyed a wide range of wellbeing activities this week. They had great fun during Cosmic Kids Yoga, Mindfulness, Essential Oils Air Fresheners, Peer Reading and Peer Yard Games. It’s great to bring the older and younger children together for these activities. Activities involving the younger and older children helps the children to build social relationships which provide opportunities for friendship, empathy and shared emotions.
Pointillism is a fun painting technique that involves creating an image using small, distinct dots of colour. The children in the Junior Room created these wonderful pointillism artworks this week.
Congratulations to our children who received the Sacrament of Confirmation yesterday. Thanks to Fr. Tom Hayes, Fr. Pat O’Donovan and Fr. Crowley for a wonderful ceremony.
Tomorrow is the big day for our children receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation so we all celebrated with this delicious strawberry and cream cake.
The Easter Bunny paid an early visit to Togher N.S. The children were delighted to search for the little treats he left for them in the school-yard.
Easter doesn’t fall on the same date every year because Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon that follows the spring equinox. We were delighted to welcome Stephanie from Heritage in Schools to explain the moon cycle and to help create these beautiful Easter Wreaths.
On Friday we held a Lá Glas to mark the end of Seachtain na Gaeilge! The children made brown bread and butter as part of our celebrations.
We had a wonderful day at the Dunmanway St. Patrick’s Day Parade. A huge thank you to everyone that walked with the school. 
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day. We hope you enjoy our animation created using Scratch programming.
