We had great fun busking at SuperValu, Bunclody. We performed lots of familiar Christmas songs, tunes and poems for all to enjoy. We enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate afterwards to warm us up.

We had an amazing surprise in Castledockrell NS this morning when Santa took time out of his hectic schedule to come and visit us. the boys and girls were delighted to see him and have a chat. Thank you so much to the Gardai from Bunclody Station who escorted Santa to the school and took time to chat with the children also.
Today we visited the Panto 'Elfie Saves Christmas' in Gorey Little Theatre which was great fun. After that we went to Gorey Tow park for a picnic and some fun in the playground......it was chilly but great fun.
Well done to everybody who participated in this year's Christmas decoration competition, made from recycled materials, they were amazing.
We had great fun this week in school for science week. Science is of course part of the curriculum and is studied every week in school but this week was a little special with lots of fun and sometimes messy science activities taking place. Our open evening on Tuesday, 14th of November was a great success and thanks to all who attended. Well done to the children who made presentations on the night and played some lovely music. Everybody had a chance to have a look around the school, chat to the staff and enjoy some tea and cake before going home. Thanks to everybody who worked so hard to make this a successful evening.
A spooktacular day was had by all in Castledockrell NS today as we celebrate another Halloween. We started the day with our annual Halloween Hike in our spookiest costumes. This was followed by a fashion show and lots of fun Halloween games, including Spider webs, Spooky Halloween Bowling, Building Marshmallow Towers, Eyeball Obstacle course and Create your Mummy. This year our Halloween competition was a baking one and we were so impressed with the array of spooky treats on offer. Earlier in the week we had lots of Halloween art and pumpkin carving too...... Happy Halloween to everybody! We had a great week of maths in school this week as part of the national Maths Week. We were all wearing our maths eyes, taking photos of maths in the environment, maths all around us in our everyday lives. The senior room participated in an online maths quiz with schools from all over the county, we did lots of problem solving, construction tasks, team work, maths games, a maths trail and maths involving chocolate.....this was probably everybody's favourite as it involved eating the chocolate afterwards. On Friday last Colin from 'Flew to You' came to visit our school and brought with him a Hawk called Captain America and a selection of Owls called Cookie, Phoenix, Nero and Gizmo. It was a really informative and interactive morning with the children having lots of opportunities to observe the birds up close, hold them and watch them fly around the classroom. A really enjoyable morning for us all. |
