are sad to say goodbye we know that they are ready for


the challenges that lie ahead.

Literacy Power Hour




Literacy Power Hour was run throughout the school year in all classes. We


recently said thank you to two parents who helped us with this initiative.



Literacy Power Hour is where the children are taught in small group


stations  covering many aspects of literacy. 



Our parent volunteers helped with the familiar reading station under the 


​guidance of the teaching staff in both the Junior classroom and in 3rd & 4th Class.

​


Thank you Una and Annette.

Credit Union Draw

Picture


We encourage children to develop good saving habits from an early



age in Bishop O’ Brien National School. Each week children can



purchase Euro Eddie saving stamps with their pocket money. This



scheme is run



in conjunction with our local Credit Union in Fermoy. Last week Euro



Eddie and Pat from the Credit Union visited our school to do a draw for



an I-Pad Mini. This fantastic prize was won by Lauren Kiely.



Congratulations to Lauren and we hope she, along with all the children



will keep up the good habit of saving throughout their time in Bishop



​​O’Brien N.S. and on into adulthood. Enjoy the photos below.

Congratulations to second class who received their First Holy



Communion on May 21
st. It was a beautiful ceremony and the school is



very proud of them all. Many thanks to all the staff of the school for their



help in preparing the children for their special day.  



​

Father Leamy made the ceremony very special as always. The church



looked absolutely beautiful decorated with beautiful flowers and art-



work. Thanks to all the wonderful children from 1
st to 6th class who sang



and played the tin-whistle so beautifully in the choir. Thanks to all the



Parents who provided refreshments for all in the Parish Hall after the

The Parents’ Association organised a Fun Walk/ Run on April 24th to


raise much needed funds for the school. The weather was absolutely


glorious on the day which helped to ensure a great turn out for the


event. It was lovely to see parents, children and staff out together


enjoying the fresh air and beautiful countryside. It was a most enjoyable


occasion for all. Thanks to the Parents’ Association who organised the


​event and provided refreshments for all afterwards in the Parish Hall.

Green Schools Day of Action
​

​In preparation for our Action Day, we drew a map and highlighted the


areas to be cleaned. We designed posters advertising our clean up and


displayed them around our school. We created a display advertising our


Day of Action in the Parish Hall on the day of the fundraising walk for


our school on the weekend before the clean up. We surveyed members


of the local community and shared tips for recycling. We invited the


Parents’ Association committee to take part in the Spring Clean.

 
On the 26th April, we had our Green Schools Day of Action which


coincided with the An Taisce’s National Spring Clean week. We began


in the morning with a clean-up of the school and local area including the


church grounds and the village green. The litter was sorted into


recyclable and non-recyclable materials. We created imaginative pieces


of art reusing recyclable materials such as newspaper, cardboard and


plastic. We also did science experiments using recyclable materials. Our


guest speaker from Cork County Council, Colette Creedon visited the


school to give a workshop on litter and waste management and energy


efficiency for the senior classes. Meanwhile, the children in junior


classes enjoyed stories about ‘Litterbug Doug’ and ‘Michael Recycle’


and made posters of their own recycling superheroes.


 
It was a great day which taught us that we are all responsible for our


local environment and ensuring that it is kept litter free and looking its


best.
 


We would like to thank everybody who helped to make this such a


​successful day!
