We enjoyed another wonderful day of GAA football at Doheny’s GAA grounds in Dunmanway. Togher N.S. played Leap N.S. and Dreeny N.S. It was another lovely day for football. A huge thank you to the many supporters that came to cheer on the team.

Sciath na Scol
The Sciath na Scol GAA competition is coming up soon. The weather has finally improved so it was straight down to the Sports Field to get some practice in. There’s nothing like playing on the full pitch to develop movement and positioning skills.
Togher N.S. takes to the Road
The children put all they have learned about cycling safely into practice when they took to the road with the Cycle Sense Tutors and Miss C. Daly.
Cycle Sense
The children continue to develop their cycling skills with weekly cycling and road awareness lessons from Cycle Sense. The children in the Senior Room are looking forward to putting these skills into practice with a school cycling trip on the local roads.
Cycle Sense
The children were busy practicing their cycling skills with Cycle Sense this week. The children learned about
- The theory of on-road cycling
- Positioning and observation
- Use of gears, braking, cycling one-handed / signalling and looking behind
- Cycling on busier roads
- Road positioning and signalling at junctions

The Togher N.S. soccer squad had a great day playing an FAI Primary five-a-side tournament in Bantry. A huge thank you to the many parents and the other children who came to support the team.

The children are learning to :

Capture the Flag
The children in the Junior Room had great fun playing Capture the Flag on the Sports Field.
5 a Side Football
The local FAI five a side football competition will be held on March the 7th in Bantry. The reasonably good weather has allowed us to get down to the Sports Pitch to practice our football skills.
Capture the Flag
Capture the Flag has long been a favourite here at Togher N.S. It’s a really fun game that burns lots of energy, but also requires strategy, teamwork and bravery. The children in the Junior Room really enjoyed Capture the Flag during Physical Education this week.
