6th V's Staff Soccer Match

Tensions were high in Ballyclough National School today when our 6th Class lined out against our staff for a game of soccer.

This was no friendly game and ended with penalties !

After a few ferocious kicks and terrific saves our 6th class we’re victorious with the score 2-1

Thank you to our referee and match officials from 5th class for doing a great job.

Bain taitneamh as an Samhradh!

A fantastic day out in Killaloe with 5th and 6th Classes!

We had a ball!

Scoil Eoin Naofa supported the Linda Glassett Brosnan Memorial Event in conjunction with Cork's 96FM by holding a Jersey Day on Thursday, 19th of May. In honouring Linda's memory, the fundraiser was organised by her family to raise funds for CUH, Marymount and Breakthrough Cancer. €495 was raised and this will go towards the Giving for Living Radiothon Appeal in aid of cancer services.

In Scoil Eoin Naofa, on the same day, we raised the Green Flag for the seventh time. On this occasion, the Green Flag was for Global Citizenship, Litter & Waste. The pupils focused on global waste over the two year programme and the steps that we need to take to manage and reduce our carbon footprint.

The Green School Committee members Eimear Kelleher, Emma O'Connell, Hugh Tyrrell and Laura Kelly worked extremely hard with pupils in their classes completing excellent projects with direction from Green School's Coordinator Mrs. O'Callaghan to achieve this flag.

To conclude our very special day, third class and the Green School Committee members also planted some wildflower seeds in the garden in celebration of World Bee Day.

We have been collecting 'Save the Bees' cards in school! It didn't take us long to fill the chart!

Thank you to everyone who helped!

The boys and girls in fifth and sixth class went to Buttevent to a soccer blitz. The girls won the final and the boys came runner up.

Our 5th and 6th Class Girls had a brilliant day in Glantane at a football and a hurling blitz.

Our 5th and 6th class boys enjoyed playing a hurling and football blitz in Glantane!

They played brilliantly!
