Morning Entertainment! Many thanks to the wonderful pupils of 5th and 6th Class for spreading the Christmas cheer for the past two mornings as they performed a live crib in the front hall of the school and also played a number of Christmas tunes on their tin whistles out in the front yard.  Christmas came early to the children of Bishop O’Brien National School this year when they received a selection box each from Watergrasshill Community Council. This very kind gesture ensured our first term ended on a high as 110 excited children went home very happy for their Christmas holidays. A huge thank you to Watergrasshill Community Council for their kindness. It was greatly appreciated. Commemoration of the Gortrua Massacre The 18th of December 2020 saw a considerable gathering at Bluebell Cross to commemorate the 186th anniversary of the Gortrua Massacre. John Arnold lead the proceedings. Fifth and Sixth Classes attended the ceremony. They later visited the site of the Widow Ryan's house situated in Dan and Mary Ryan's farmyard. Thank you to them both for granting permission to visit the location. Picture This!!Here are the photographs captured by the boys and girls of 5th and 6th class recently. We hope you enjoy them.
