On Thursday of our ‘Active Week’ all pupils took part in a sponsored walk. We were lucky that the rain stayed away and everyone has a great time. We took a break at the ‘Stepping Stones’ to enjoy a well earned sweet treat. Thank you to everyone who supported our walk, we had a fantastic response and it is greatly appreciated.

As part of our active week activities coaches for ‘West Cork Volleyball Club’ came to our school to do a session with all pupils. A big thank you to Daniela and Sarah for teaching the children some of the basics about volleyball. A super way to spend the afternoon.

On Tuesday of Active Week pupils enjoyed a sports afternoon at the GAA pitch. The children took part in different activities including rounders, traditional races, team building activities and penalty shoot out games. A great afternoon was had by all.

On Monday of our Active Week some of our pupils took part in a show and tell on some of the sports they take part in. Some of the sports included soccer, road bowling, horse riding, gymnastics and Tae Kwon do. Thank you to everyone who took part. The pupils of Drimoleague N.S. are a talented bunch!!!

A big thank you to Catherine from Green Schools for returning to our school during May to take our pupils on a walk in the local area to observe trees and plants growing in our hedgerows. Some of the plants we observed were the Hawthorn, dandelions, fuchsia and holly trees. It was a lovely way to spend the morning and we all learned something new about our local hedgerows

During term 2 we took part in the Blue Start project. This culminated on May 9th when we celebrated Europe Day. We took part unite for Europe Day where all the children created a circle by interlinking hands. We also took part in kahoot quizzes based on what we learned while taking part in Blue Star. A big thank you to Ms. Tanner for organising.
