Stream Habitat

Posted on by

The children pulled on their wellies and headed off on a stream adventure. We had a fantastic time exploring our local stream and discovering the amazing freshwater mini-beasts that call it home. The children spotted Greater and Lesser Water Boatmen, worms, freshwater snails, diving beetles, larvae, and even a few young trout.

A huge thank you to Stephanie from Heritage in Schools, who taught us all about the life cycles of these fascinating creatures and the importance of keeping our waterways clean and unpolluted. The children were amazed by the variety of wildlife living right on our doorstep. After our investigations, all of our stream residents were carefully returned to their natural habitat before we headed back to school. What a wonderful day of learning and discovery.

Our pupils from 1st to 4th class enjoyed a fantastic day at the recent Sam Maguire Primary School Blitz in Dunmanway. The event brought together children from all the parish schools for a fun-filled day of GAA football, friendship, and teamwork.
In keeping with the spirit of participation and sportsmanship, the blitz was non-competitive, with mixed teams ensuring that every child had the opportunity to make new friends and take part in plenty of football. The atmosphere throughout the day was full of excitement, laughter, and enthusiasm, A huge well done to all the pupils who took part and to everyone involved in organising such an enjoyable event.ble event

West Cork Secret Activities

What a fantastic start to our school tour at West Cork Secret. The children from Togher N.S. had an action-packed morning enjoying all the “dry activities.” They began by working together on the giant jigsaw challenge, showing fantastic teamwork and problem-solving skills. Next came the hilarious “milking” activity which had everyone laughing, before finishing up with some high-speed fun on the go-karts. It was wonderful to see everyone having such great fun together and making memories with their classmates. A brilliant start to an unforgettable day. I was now time for pizza.

Taking advantage of this fine spell of weather our Senior Room brought maths outdoors today for a fun and active Maths Trail around the school grounds and the sports field.

The pupils worked together estimating, calculating and problem solving. A great way to combine fresh air, movement and learning.

The children were excited to cheer on the cyclists of the Rás Tailteann as they passed by the school. Waving banners and shouting encouragement, they loved seeing the race up close. For many pupils, it was their first time experiencing a road cycling race, and the riders responded with smiles and waves as they passed the enthusiastic crowd gathered along the roadside.

 

Sciath na Scol

The Togher N.S. football team enjoyed a fantastic day at the St. Colum’s GAA grounds in Kealkil, blessed with lovely weather and great support from enthusiastic supporters on the sidelines. The team faced strong opposition in exciting matches against Adrigole N.S., Derrycreha N.S., and Urhan N.S. Each game was played in the true spirit of Sciath na Scol, with teamwork, determination, and skill on display throughout.

We are extremely proud of the way our team represented the school and of the wonderful teamwork they showed on the day. While it was not to be our day in the end, we would like to wish the talented Derrycreha N.S. team the very best of luck in the final.
