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

Blue Star – MEP Visit
We were delighted to welcome MEP Billy Kelleher to Drimoleague N.S as part of the Blue Star initiative. Representatives from each class told Mr Kelleher about the countries they have studied as part of the Blue Star. The children were given the opportunity to ask Mr Kelleher questions about how the European Parliament works and how he became an MEP.
Finally the children performed one of the songs they have been learning as part of their National Children’s Choir repertoire.
We would like to extend a big thank to Billy Kelleher for taking time to visit our school and to Ms. Tanner for organising the visit.

Seachtain na Gaeilge – Céilí Mór
To celebrate Seachtain na Gaeilge we held a Céilí Mór on Thursday afternoon. Over the past two weeks the children have been learning the Droeilín, the Walls of Limerick and Shoe the Donkey.
The pupils also enjoyed watching some of our pupils who have been competing in Scór na Páisití. The girls danced the Fairy and the Dunmanway Set and were accompanied by Mr. Collins on the accordion. We wish our pupils competing in the Scór na Páistí Carbery semi final with the Dunmanway Set the very best of luck.
