A group of 6th Class pupils met at our Outdoor Classroom this evening to recreate this wonderful taken when they were in playschool- how they have grown!
It was smiles all round when we made our way to the Marina Market for lunch! The children spent some of their well-earned profits from this year’s business ventures — all that city walking definitely built up an appetite! 🍕💰🚶♂️ #YoungEntrepreneurs #6thClassAdventures

2nd/3rd Class Butterfly Project 🐛🦋
Ms O Callaghan’s class had the exciting opportunity to witness one of nature’s most magical transformations — watching caterpillars grow into butterflies! The children carefully observed each stage of the life cycle, from tiny caterpillars to chrysalises, and finally, to beautiful Painted Lady butterflies. This hands-on science project sparked curiosity, encouraged care and responsibility, and brought a sense of wonder to our classroom. We ended the experience by gently releasing the butterflies into nature, celebrating their journey and the learning we shared together.
Our scientists in Scoil Chroí Íosa Blarney are ready!!! We are counting down the days until the Curiosity Cube comes! #sparkcuriosity #curiositycube #fun #STEM #merck #activeschoolsweek
