Cobh GAA Partnership/Coaching

Diarmuid Kearney has been doing fantastic work with Junior Infants – Rang 2 this academic year!

The children built up their strength, coordination and fundamental movement skills before Christmas through Gaelic football. For the last few weeks, Diarmuid has focussed on teaching hurling/camogie skills.

Cobh GAA’s School Coaching Program in Walterstown NS has been a great success!

A huge thanks to Diarmuid for sharing his knowledge and skill with us in the school to date.

St Patrick’s Day

All the boys and girls were busy this week preparing for St. Patrick’s Day. Irish dancing, arts and crafts, singing and a talent show were just some of the festive activities which the children took part in!

Our Device Drive

All of the children in WNS will be taking part in a sponsored Activity Challenge on 16th March 2022. They will each be given a sponsorship card to take home with them. Keep an eye on the website to see the children enjoying skipathons, blitzes, novelty races and many more fundraising activities!

Third Class 2022

Third Class are studying Vincent van Gogh and have drawn their own version of Sunflowers. They have taken part in athletics training and are enjoying lego with the children from First Class. They have done projects on marine litter and learned a lot about climate change and sea pollution.

Green-Schools Committee

We are going to apply for our 8th Green Flag for Global Citizenship and the Marine Environment in April. All classes will be doing a variety of lessons, projects and experiments on the theme of Marine Litter over the next six weeks.

Grandparents’ Day

Please take the time to read our poem and activity list! Maybe you could choose an activity to try with your grandparent over the weekend or over midterm break? Maybe you could read the grandparents’ poem to them over the phone? We create special memories when we spend time with our grandparents!
