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

Strawberries

The children have really enjoyed learning about plant growth through growing strawberries in the classroom. They explored the science behind how plants grow — discovering the importance of water, nutrients, and sunlight, as well as learning about pollination and seed dispersal. Watching the strawberries develop from flowers to fruit was a wonderful hands-on learning experience, made even better by finally getting to taste and enjoy the strawberries they helped to grow.

The Senior Room pupils from Togher N.S. took on the wet and mucky obstacle course at West Cork Secret with great energy and enthusiasm.

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.
