Just a note to let you know about the event planned in Dunmanway Library for Cruinniú na nÓg this year. For those of you unfamiliar with the day, it is a national day of creativity and play for children brought to you under the Creative Ireland programme.  This year they are offering families a two day workshop called “Where We Live” with artist Julie O’Hea.

Workshops are free of charge  & booking is essential.

The children in the Senior Room had a wonderfully messy time creating ring pottery.

The children were very busy this week getting their Mother’s Day cards ready for the special day.

We have been busy putting the finishing touches to our latest Leprechaun Head which will make its debut at the Dunmanway St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Following the time honoured tradition of St. Brigid’s Day,  we weaved rushes into crosses.
Every child had a cross going home. Many thanks to the children of the Senior classes
who gave so willingly of their time and helped the younger children to make their crosses.
We even made some extra ones which will be distributed  in the church tonight.

The children in Miss Daly’s room had great fun making ring pottery and molding with clay. It’s very messy but when you are a “hands on, minds on” school – messy is always the way to go!

The pupils will be making St Brigid’s crosses tomorrow.

Please make sure your child/children bring the necessary rushes with them on the day. We made some today for distribution at Mass on the 1st.
