The children are delighted to to develop their movement and balance skills during Yoga classes this year. Yoga is considered to be a low-impact activity that can increase general health and stamina, promote relaxation, reducing stress and improve strength and balance to all parts of the body.
The children had a wonderful day at the Kealkill Sports Day. A huge thank you to Kealkill N.S. for organising this event. We hope you enjoy our video.
The weather was beautiful so it was down to the Sports Field. Today we decided to practice our GAA football skills. Mr. Murray put the children through their paces before it was time for a game of GAA football.

Last May children across Co. Cork were invited by their local libraries to design their own cycling T-shirt to celebrate Cork Bike Week. We were delighted that two of our pupils had their winning entries printed on their own T-shirts by Dunmanway Library.
We were delighted to welcome the children back to Togher National School following the summer holidays. We are all looking forward to the exciting school year ahead.
The Great Gusto brought a lot of fun juggling and circus equipment along with him. The younger children were soon learning about balance and hand-eye co-ordination as they practiced their circus tricks.
We were delighted to welcome The Great Gusto to Togher N.S. to teach the children juggling and other circus tricks. To demonstrate his gymnastic and juggling skills he required a couple of hapless “volunteers”. I don’t think the children and the other members of staff have ever laughed so much.
We said farewell to our current sixth class at our Graduation Celebration this week. We wish them the very best of luck in Secondary school and we know they will all do well. They will be truly missed here but they will always be welcome back at Togher N.S. We had a wonderful night looking back at their time in Togher N.S. and listening to their memories of primary school. The graduation night also featured Medal Presentations, Graduation Gifts, Slideshows, Fís Films and wonderful treats and cakes (A huge thank you to the parents that brought these tasty treats). Thanks to everyone that facilitated this wonderful night.
We have had some wonderful weather recently and we are all hoping for a long hot summer but this being Ireland nothing is certain weather-wise. Miss O’Connell is retiring and decided to treat the children to an ice cream while the sky is mostly blue and the sun is shining.
