We wrapped up the first half of term with fantastic Halloween activities. The children enjoyed traditional Halloween games, creative art projects, colourful costumes, and plenty of tasty treats. A big thank-you to Viktoriya (Téja’s mum) for the delicious spooky cakes — they were wonderful.
It was wonderful to see so many happy (and a few scary!) faces around the school. Well done to everyone for their great enthusiasm and Halloween spirit. Wishing all our pupils and families a safe and happy Halloween break.
A mini-crisis was averted at Togher N.S. when a car outside the school wouldn’t start. Luckily, Miss Daly had the Bat-SCP app and raised the Bat-Signal.
Within minutes, Batman and Robin swooped in to save the day, helping to push-start the car. With the crisis solved, they joined us for some Halloween fun and gave Togher N.S. their superhero seal of approval.
Huge thanks to Roger and Lisa from the SCP for sending in the Dynamic Duo.
The Festival of Samhain marked the end of the Celtic year and the beginning of a new one — the Celtic equivalent of New Year’s Eve. To celebrate this ancient tradition, the children spent the morning preparing for our Samhain feast, busily chopping vegetables and filling the room with the comforting sounds and scents of cooking.
Before long, the chopping and chatting gave way to the wonderful aroma of freshly baked brown bread and simmering pumpkin soup, a sure sign that our celebration was underway.
When everything was ready, everyone gathered together to share the meal. It’s always a joy to see the children sitting side by side, eating, chatting, and enjoying each other’s company — a simple yet meaningful way to mark the turning of the seasons.
