Fun and enjoyment were the focus of Scoil Bhailenora's Sports Day this year and, thanks to 6th class, this was certainly achieved. 6th class took charge of many of the activities and ensured that all pupils had a great day. Well done 6th class!You were fantastic!
Today we completed a walking tour of our wonderful city which is steeped in history. We finished the tour with visit to the Butter Exchange and a trip to Linehans Sweet Shop!
Just before we finished up for the holidays we decided to bring some festive cheer to the residents of Norwood Grange Nursing Home. We certainly left them with bigger smiles after our singing!
This year we decided that it would be important to remember those who are less fortunate than us. We wanted to help other children in Cork and see if we could do something to make their Christmas a little more special.
Cork Penny Dinners are doing a Christmas Gift Box appeal this year. We thought this was perfect. We filled a shoe box with some practical (and some less practical!) presents for some of the less fortunate children of Cork.
Our thoughtfulness was very much appreciated by the volunteers who work tirelessly, especially at this time of year and we hope our Gift Boxes make some children's smiles a little brighter this Christmas!
A fantastic effort was made by the children this year as they undertook the task of designing and making their own Hallowe'en costumes!The results were equal combinations of spookiness and humour!Maith sibh, a bpáistí!
The children took part in the marshmallow challenge on Friday. They were in groups of 3 or 4. They were given 1 marshmallow, 20 sticks of spaghetti, 1 yard of string and 1 yard of tape. They were set a challenge of building the tallest free-standing tower with the marshmallow resting on top. There was great team work going on and some very clever structures built.
On Monday night the class had their Enrolment Ceremony. It was a lovely evening with beautiful singing and excellent reading from the children.
