New Infants 2016 We were delighted to welcome our new Infant children on June 23rd for a few hours. They settled in really well and we are looking forward to seeing them in September. Check out all the fun they had in the photographs below. 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. Senior TourOn Friday, 3rd of June children from the senior classes (3rd-6th) went on their school tour to Limerick. This action packed day consisted of a tour of Thomond Park, followed by bowling at Funworld, a trip to Supermacs and finally a tour of Bunratty Castle! Credit Union Draw 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.

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 1st to 6th class who sang and played the tin-whistle so beautifully in the choir.
