This June, we celebrated Creative School week and Friendship week.
Pupils across all classes took part in a wide range of team building and collaborative activities. The junior room explored " what it means to be a good friend" and infants created "Friendship Recipes". The Senior room continued with their Friends for Life programme in SPHE.
All pupils in the school worked together to create a mural on our school shed with the help of Mrs Meagher. This was designed by the pupils as part of our Creative Schools initiative. The senior room also painted our raised beds and have been busy painting tractor tyres which we will be turning into giant sandpits for the children to play with in September.
The junior room also created beautiful still life drawings of summer flowers using oil pastels. We will be entering these into the Clonmel Summer Flower Show art competition which will take place in early July. They also created a collaborative piece of art based on the theme of Friendship.
The senior room were also kept busy putting the final touches to their piece of art work for the 1848 Monster Meeting project with local artist Mia Kearney. This will be put on display in Kilcash hall along with the work of other local schools to mark the 175th anniversary of the 1848 monster meeting on Slievenamon by the Young Irelanders.
