Christmas has arrived at Corrandrum National School!

Board Game Fun!

Our 5th and 6th class pupils created their own board games as part of the Microsoft Dream Space project. They put tremendous effort into planning, designing and building each game, and their creativity really shone through. The children had great fun playing the finished games and sharing them with the rest of the children in the school. A big thank-you to Mr. Flynn for organising this fantastic and inspiring activity!

Shoe Box Appeal

We were delighted to take part in the Shoe Box Charity Appeal this year. The generosity shown by our families has been truly heartwarming, with so many thoughtful boxes donated to support those who are less fortunate. Each gift will make a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful for the kindness and compassion in our school.

Halloween Dress Up!

Every year, the children look forward to our Halloween dress-up day with great excitement. They love arriving in their creative costumes, sharing laughs, and showing their outfits to their friends and teachers. It’s always a fun, festive day that brings plenty of joy and imagination to our school community.

🌼 Daffodils and Tulips 🌷

Mr. Flynn kindly brought in daffodil and tulip bulbs for the children to plant. He showed everyone how to prepare the soul, place the bulbs, and care for them as they grow. Each child had the opportunity to plant their own bulbs, making it a fun and hands-on learning experience. Now we wait with excitement to see the flowers blossom next spring,

We had a fantastic time celebrating Maths Week in our school. Everyone took on the fun challenge of learning a variety of card games. From 25 and Go Fish to Old Maid and Snap, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The games helped us build our maths skills while having plenty of laughs along the way.

We had the pleasure of having Bridie, a local card expert and grandparent, provide some really good help and advice to the children on improving their card playing skills. We also had a whole school event where 5th and 6th class helped the lower classes play and understand some new card games.

🏃🏃‍♀️Cross Country🏃‍♀️🏃

All the children who took part in the primary school cross country race ran an excellent race and showed great determination and team spirit. Every runner gave their best effort, and it was wonderful to see their enthusiasm and support for one another throughout the event. We’re especially proud to announce that two of our pupils qualified for the finals! The children thoroughly enjoyed the day and are already looking forward to next year’s race!

Dog’s Trust Ireland visited our school to teach the children about caring for dogs and being kind to animals. The representative gave a fun and informative talk and even brought along a little stuffed dog, which everyone loved! It was a great visit that helped us learn more about how to keep dogs happy and healthy!
